Teacher Gifts

In an attempt to make something special and meaningful I decided to make mini albums of the students to give to the teachers.  

For my son's 3rd grade class I made this. 

 The album has a title page which has the school year listed and a note of thanks.  The subsequent pages are all the same format.  Pictures of the kiddos with a little note of thanks from them to their teacher.  I used my Cricut and cut these speech bubbles for each of the kiddos to write their note on.  Each page follows the same format with the same embellishments.  The papers are all coordinated so it is cohesive without being boring.  I snuck onto campus one day and with parents permission took individual pictures of the kiddos.

This is the album I made for the grade 5 teacher.

Again, I followed the same format that I used on the other album.  Super simple an really quick to put together. 

The last pages in each album are a collage of photos from the entire year; assemblies, class projects, and events that the students participated in.  On the last page of the album I gathered each class and had them jump for joy, a nice action shot. 

Thanks for dropping by.

I love to participate in scrapbooking challenges.  Last month I participated in theThe Crop Circle Monthly Challenge which is the Paperclipping Community.  I have to tell you that I really enjoy these monthly challenges and I'll tell you why - you get great feed back. If you want to see what I mean go check out this blog post at Paperclipping. 

And, just FYI - The Crop Circle is a free community.  Come try out the challenges.  It's fun!
