Splendor Thank You Cards

I completed all my teacher cards yesterday (woohoo!) and am finishing up the support personnel cards today. I decided to make cards for my son's bus drivers who got him safely to and from school every day, plus I always thank the crossing guard who helps my other kids get across a busy street in front of the school. I started with a sketch from Retro Sketches, but I turned it upside down to create a little scene, and I made two variations of the same card. Can't decide which one I like more!

The bus driver card!

The crossing guard card!

Chalk It Up Teacher Card

I woke up this morning to the realization that tomorrow is the last day of school and I need to make ten cards for teachers, bus drivers, and the crossing guard! I managed to get one done already and I kept it simple since I have to duplicate it for three more teachers. Off to work on some more cards. . .

Mojo Monday 296 Card - Gee, Thanks

 

We have the greatest crossing guard overseeing the crosswalk by my son's school. Mr. Jack is so friendly and thoughtful, and he truly cares about the safety of the kids, so this card is a big thank you to him! I knew the Cricut Artiste cartridge had a few road sign cuts that I could use, and when I saw the circles on the Mojo Monday sketch for the week, inspiration struck. Hope you like the end result!
