It's Teacher Appreciation Week & today was lunch for the staff at school. In addition to sending a salad for their special lunch today, I also put together a gift to send for Bryn's teacher, thanks to some very inspiring ideas I saw on Facebook today from a very crafty friend. Not only did she have this same "Keep Calm It's Almost Summer" theme that I stole from her, but she had FIVE different sets of gifts/themes for each day of this week for her daughter's teachers. Love, love, love it!
Also gotta love having inspiring & crafty friends!
So... I googled "Keep Calm images." There are hundreds! Just right clicked the one I wanted & saved it to my computer. Then I printed the image to use for my card. It's very simple in design, but I did add an American Crafts sticker + another cloud cut from my American Crafts paper (both from the City Park collection) to cover up the crown. I machine stitched around the frame of the card to finish it off...
The tote bag is filled with a few summer things + a gift card...
Thank you again, Dawn. Even on her birthday today, she's still just as generous of her time & creativity as ever! I'm just SURE her daughter's teachers are feeling pretty darn special this week... and hopefully Bryn's teacher will too!
That's gonna be one happy teacher! What a great idea for a teacher gift. Love this!

What a CUTE idea! Love this! I've been trying to think of a creative end-of-the-year gift for Alison's teacher. Might just use this one!
And, just read your other Cinco de Mayo post. Hope things are ok for you. Hopefully better now, even.
Take care.
