Teacher Appreciation

It takes a special person to teach children, they love and care for our children often times for lower pay and a lot of hours so way not shower them with a token of our appreciation. Today our team is sharing cards for the special teachers in our lives. With the end of the school year drawing to an end  don't forget to say thank you to the teachers in your life.

Quick and Easy Cards

For me time is always in short supply and maybe that is they way you live your life too, I would love to have hours to make a card but that doesn't happen very often why because we are busy people. Our cards for today are perfect for those of use that count themselves in that category. Our team of designers have cards that don't take much time or many supplies to create but they are still wonderful cards that anyone would love to receive. Thanks for joining us on this first day of March.

Stash Busters

Today our team members are using up their stash of scraps and bringing you some great projects. I think we all have a stash of scraps; that designer paper piece you can't part with, a extra punched out piece, or maybe something you stamped but wasn't quite right for the current project  and it becomes part of your scrap stash. Well now it is time to grab those scraps and make something out of them. There is more info about each project on each designers personal blog which can be found in the link below their card. We hope that we inkspire you to grab your scraps and create something beautiful today.
