#1 Teacher - Back to School





Made this for end of year for our favorite teacher Mme.Jennifer. We have had the good fortune of having Mme.Jennifer for both our children. I made the design on my gypsy using Plantin Locker talk, Graphically speaking Cricut cartridges. This was a bigger card about 6x6. Worth every inch.

Graduation Gift for the girls Class






We were at Costco and found some Silly bandz really cheap they were discontinued for $5 for 250 of them so I got out my baggies and make 50 packs with 5 bandz in each one. the girls handed them out on the last day of school and they were a big hit.
