19 cards and counting...

We have quite a large number of staff at the school where I work and I try to make cards for everyone, some months I am ahead of the cards I need and some months got missed last year due to illness.
So I thought having finished the one project that I wanted to get done, covering the album for my middle Grandson, I ought to get cracking on the cards for this school year, I need approx 40 female and 2 male.
I have used a variety of papers, mostly ones that I bought from my Daughter when she was selling her crafty stuff earlier in the year, some of the card blanks, the coloured square ones are photocards that were donated by a colleague from work I just trimmed them so they were even in shape and added large daisies cut using my sizzix bigz die - Daisies. I can't give any more details of the papers used as none of them were in the original wrapping except that I still have more than enough left to make the rest of the cards I'll need for the year.
I'm impressed that the cards this year have not cost me anything to make as I had everything in my now enormous collection of papers, card blanks, plain card etc.









Most of the cards are fairly simple but with so many to make I don't really have time to make lots of fancy ones, now to teach the new Year 3/4's to take the cards round to be signed without getting them dirty!!!

Thanks for stopping by and any comments you wish to make
