This morning at about 8:20 my phone rang and my caller ID told me it was my son's elementary school calling. These phone calls seldom presage good news, so I nervously answered the phone. Turns out it was my 4th grader calling to remind me I hadn't given him a card for his teacher for Valentine's Day as I had promised (the Spiderman kit we bought only had one teacher card and he has two teachers, so I had told him I would make a Valentine for his other teacher), so could I please make one and bring it over to the school ASAP? So I ended up scrapping a quick Valentine using a few Cricut cuts. The card base is actually a photo mat for a 6" x 8" photo, but the tab reminded me of a camera viewfinder, so I went with that, but if the teacher thinks it's a file tab, that's okay, too!

What a great card! I love how you used the photo mat for the base. I am sure your son's teacher will love it! Thank you for playing with us at Heart 2 Heart!
ReplyDeletefor a pretty quick card, it turned out spectacular. My first impression was that it was a camera. I love the little layers and touches that make it special. What a great mom! Happy Valentines day and thanks for joining our challenge at Bitten by the Bug2.

ReplyDeleteOh yes - only used once! Definitely in need of some love. Great effort - it doesn't look like a quick card at all. The camera look is great. Thanks for playing along with us at Retro Rubber Challenge.
