Papercrafts I Made in June
It might not look like it but I made a ton of cards this month!
Alec wanted to give ALL the teachers he's had in high school a going away/thank you gift for graduation week so I made up 30 cards (in 3 different styles). I also needed to make 20 thank you cards for him to mail out after his graduation party (since we didn't open gifts at the party he never got to really say thank you in person).
That's 50 cards!
We also had a few birthdays and I joined the card chain challenge again this month so I had to make those cards too.
At the very end of the month I had a day or two to do some scrapbooking and made up a few pages:
Linking up with:
As always, your cards are so pretty! It would be such a wonderful gift to receive a handmade card! People rarely even send store bought cards these days…how thoughtful to spend the time to create a beautiful card for someone (and 50 at that!).
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteSuch a busy time of year and so impressed you still stayed creative- such a talent!
ReplyDeleteI was pretty impressed I found so much time to create too. But I was really glad I did.
DeleteI love all the cards you made this month! Have a great day, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThat was a lot of cards! They all look great. I love the graduation cards. The prom scrapbook pages are great too!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteJune has been a busy month for you. Your cards are wonderful! #MMBC
ReplyDeleteIt definitely has been busy; in all the ways but it's been so much fun so I can't complain.
DeleteWow! That's a lot of cards! You've been busy. Visiting from SSPS.
ReplyDeleteYep, I knew with graduation in the mix it would be a busy month of card making.
DeleteSuch pretty cards and scrapbook pages!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYou're so talented.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks!
DeleteI love the third one down with the rainbows and the graduation guys are cute!
ReplyDeleteWe made those for "other" staff members in the school that Alec had hit it off with that weren't necessarily his teachers like the cafeteria workers and some of the office staff.
DeleteThat's a LOT of cards to make! You did a great job - they're lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHow sweet that Alec wanted to give all of his teachers gifts.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have been kept busy with all the cards to make! The thank you cards are just brilliant and the scrapbook pages look fantastic.
I loved that he wanted to give them all a little thank you gift... but it was fun trying to transport all 30 gifts to the school in a way that made it easy for him to handle. I thought it was so sweet that he came up with the gift idea all on his own.
DeleteI love all of these! I know how much work you must put into them. 😘❤️
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteSuch pretty card and layouts.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYou are so creative! I love those handmade cards for teachers. That's so thoughtful!

Aw, thanks!
DeleteCute cards! Love the ice cream cone.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWow, Joanne ... that first card you've carefully crafted really caught my eye!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks!
DeleteOh my word, that's a lot of cards but so worth it, especially for all Alec's teachers. I bet they treasure them.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope so.
DeleteDang, that's incredible that you made so many. I bet it was like an assembly line!

It sure was!
DeleteI am amazed that you made all those cards and the scrapbook pages as well. So thoughtful of you and they all look great. I specially like the graduation cards.

Aw, thank you!
DeleteThat's a HUGE undertaking Jo - well done! And I love that Alec wanted to thank his teachers and also his friends - a sign of a thoughtful young man.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Deletethese are such fun, Joanne. I know your recipients will be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThat's amazing! I have to admit, I would have just gone to the store and bought them. Although, I just bought a card for a wedding, and it was almost $6! So, you were smart in making your own!

I like to tell my husband I'm saving us money this way; though I'm not really sure that I am since I buy so many supplies each year! LOL
DeleteYou really make the best cards!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteWowza, you have been busy!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWow! You were busy and they all look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteSo many beautiful cards! I adore the one with the bird and flower. So pretty!

These are all so cute! I love the rainbows and sunshines!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSuch lovely cards, Joanne! And each is extra special since you crafted them yourself! Alec seems like such a thoughtful young man! One of my most cherished memories as a retired kindergarten teacher was when former students wrote me a note or stopped by for a visit! I had two students who stopped by regularly, well into their 30's! So special!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteSuch beautiful cards, Joanne... and extra special since they are each created with love! Alec seems like such a thoughtful young man! I'm sure each card he sent was greatly appreciated! One of my most cherished memories as a now retired kindergarten teacher was when former students took the time to write a note or stop by for a visit. I actually had two students who visited regularly, well into their thirties! SO special!
