Friendship Garden

I made this card with my "new" Garden Silhouettes set that I finally got my hands on. I found it on Splitcoast Stampers new unmounted....what a deal! It's such a beauty and a very easy set to use. I know this set will be seeing a lot of ink at my house! On this card I stamped the main image twice without reinking the stamp. I really like the Mini Occasions set Great Friend, I find that I'm pairing this set a lot with other sets..it's so versatile!

Mother's Tea Party Invites

Here are the invites I made for the moms of my preschool students. We are having a Tea Party for all the moms next Friday. Each invite has a tea bag on the inside of the card with the party information attached to the inside of the invite. I really enjoy preparing for our annual Mother's Tea at our preschool. The kids are always so excited to make presents for their moms. We also have each child draw a picture of their moms and we help them fill out a page about them. It is so funny to hear what they say about their moms. One year when I asked a little boy in my class what his mother enjoyed doing his answers was "yell a lot.....that's for sure"! My co-teacher and I still crack up when we think back to his response.
