I Brake for Teachers!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a "work in progress."  I work in an elementary school and a couple of us have decided to do a few things to help beautify the school and make it a nicer place to work.  For instance someone added some table cloths, a flower arrangement and brought a pretty clock into our staff lunch room.

I plan on making several little "pictures" to hang in different areas. 

I used READ MY LIPS LUCILLE

 from the Humorous Seniors line

over at I Brake for Stamps.

I trimmed out her purse and shopping bag because they didn't really make sense for a teacher to be holding them.  It shows you that your stamps can be even more versatile with a little creative thinking.

I figure the purse strap just looks like a bracelet now.

I hope the staff will enjoy these funny little

 wall hangings and it will put a smile on their faces.

I Brake For Ballerinas!

Hello and Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing another dance card.  My daughter recently completed her 10th year of dance.  Some of the other dance moms asked me to make cards for the 6 teachers and 2 helpers.  This was one of the thank you cards that I made for them.

I've used BALLERINA #2 on my card.

This card went to a young, new teacher.  She wasn't new to the studio though.  She's been dancing there most of her life and now that she's in college locally she has decided to teach part time.

On the inside I used a verse from EVERY DAY PHRASES.

I Brake For Belly Dancers!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a card that I made for the woman that works the front desk at my daughter's dance studio.  Some of the other moms know that I make handmade cards so they asked if I would make them for all the teachers and two of the "helpers."  Miss Sue has quite the sense of humor so I know when she gets this card this afternoon that she'll love it. 

The image I used is called BELLY DANCER GRACIE and it's from the HUMOROUS SENIORS line over at I BRAKE FOR STAMPS.  The THANK YOU verse is from the EVERY DAY PHRASES sheet.

Isn't she the funniest thing ever?!

I Brake For Doctors and Nurses!

Hello everyone! 

Recently my daughter's dance teacher had an illness and we wanted to cheer her up.  I've made her many cards through the years but they've always been dance themed so it was fun to do something a little different for her.

Stamps used...

Dr. Ben Dover

Nurse Stella

I apologize for the crooked verse.  I had already glued the paper down so I was kind of out of luck without redoing the entire front.  Oh well.  It gives it that "personal, homemade" touch right??

Love these funny caregivers!!

I Brake For....Scary teachers!

Unfortunately for me school is just around the corner.  I work in the special ed. dept. in an elementary school so summer time is my time!!

I know this lady might not be what you think of as a teacher but when I got this verse and saw Stella she reminded me of my second grade teacher. She had long, claw-like nails that she would drum on your head while you were thinking of the answer to her question. Since I work in a school I ALWAYS need school themed cards. Can't wait to give this one to someone. 

If you like this you can find the stamps at I Brake For Stamps.

The verse is called Teacher

and the image is called Struttin' Stella.
