Cookies for the Teacher

Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a good weekend. We had a lot of family time, which was good and very needed. 

Today I have a card that I made simply because I didn't want to get my card stash box out one. more. time! It's currently in an awkward spot because the craft room is a wreck, and it was just too much for me to do again, lol, so I just made one! Plus I got to play with SUO Challenges for the sketch. And actually, I think the card turned out better for the recipient than any I had on hand, so it's fiiine. 

Again with the retired stash, ha. Also fine. 

Supplies:

Stamps: Nothing's Better Than

Ink: Cinnamon Cider, Memento Black, Coastal Cabana

Paper: Coastal Cabana, Basic White card stocks

Accessories: Iridescent Striped Trim, Opal Rounds, Perennial Postage Dies, Blending Brushes, Dimensionals, big shot 

This one is actually going to my daughter's school teacher. (the inside says "you make everything better") My kiddo has had a rough time at school the last few years, but at least this year she had a good teacher. She will tell you that, too. I don't know her teacher super well, but on her faculty page it says her favorite color is turquoise and that she likes cookies. I can do that. I was also drawn to this ribbon and realized the dots are a perfect match, and I think it's because she's one of those people who just exudes light. Bless her. Seriously. She is exactly the kind of person who should teach elementary age children.

Most years I have given my children's teachers a small thank you, and usually it's a short stack of cards for them to use and some kind of treat. We have a lot of cookie places around here, so we got this teacher a gift card for one of them. She also got five cards to use, this card from me, and a picture my daughter drew for her. 

Also, funny secret, the little gift sack comes from the eye doctor. I like that it says Thank You right on it, and for a long time I didn't even know where we got them in the gift wrap stash, haha... But it's a perfect fit, so I'm gonna use it!
