The Paper Shelter Extravaganza

Hi! I have decided that if every day were 48 hours instead of 24 I might actually get some things accomplished! Like blogging my non-design team cards! I have such a back log of them that I don't even know where to start! Ok, so maybe I'll start here with The Paper Shelter. I've got a couple of school themed cards followed by miscellaneous craftiness for varying occasions!

Up first is the card I made for my son for back to school. He went back last week, but traditionally (when I was growing up) the week after Labor Day was when classes started. This cute image is In the Class and he is colored with Copics.

And thank goodness for the teachers who spend 6 hours a day with our precious littles and teach them things, often giving so much of themselves in the process. I always try to make and give teacher appreciation cards and gifts twice during the year - once for National Teacher's Appreciation Day and once for the last day of school. (They usually get cards and treat for Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day too! Because they deserve it!) . This card was for my son's 3rd grade teacher at the end of school this past June. This image is Vintage Teacher and she is colored with Copics.

Next I have a card I made for a coworker who left to attend the police academy. The image is called Police Officer. I colored him with Copics and the coffee and donut dies are a little bit of added fun!

My final two cards were for Mother's Day and Father's Day, respectively. The Mother's Day one was a special order with some specific instructions so I combined The Best Soccer Player with Baby and His Toys.
