Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!

Here is the card that I made for my daughter's teacher. At our school, we decorate out teacher's door and then each day of the week there is a theme. Today, was the day to write a special note of appreciation. I've been working on projects for each day. Whew, it is a lot of work, but well worth the effort.


My card is supposed to be a chalk board... but I'm not sure that it looks as much like one as I originally thought it did. I had to explain what it was to two people already today. Oh well, that white thing at the bottom is a piece of chalk too- LOL. Anyway, isn't Emma's super sweet stamp perfect for this. It is from her My Teacher Rocks! stamp set. And did you notice that super cute wood grain background. That is a new background stamp by Market Street Stamps called Woodgrain. It is perfect and it is currently on sale. And of course that is an adorable Peachy Keen Face on the owl. By the way I saw on FaceBook that Peachy Keen Stamps is having a sale on Saturday, May 7th (for National Scrapbooking Day) with 99 cent shipping too. I just had to share.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

    So adorable! I made a chalkboard card too and it seemed no one could tell! LOL! Maybe it is because they use dry-erase boards now!

    This card is so adorable. I love how you used the twine in the owl's little ears! What a great added detail. I knew this was suppose to be a chalk board as soon as I saw it! I am sure the teacher just loved it. Great sentiment too:)
