End of School Year Gifts

Before we get any further away from the last day of school, I'd better post what the girls made!
These were quick, last minute gifts (surprise, surprise, what's new with me) that the girls helped me put together for their teachers.  Luckily I had just unpacked some notebooks so we decorated the front.  Brianna's teacher retired at the end of the year and she cried when she opened hers - she loves purple and butterflies.  Her notebook uses some retired purple paper from the Enchanted pack, along with a butterfly stamp from the Find Your Style stamp set, and the quote stamp from Make It Count.  Kaylee's teacher's notebook uses retired Silhouette paper, a paper flower with Opaques Pearls that Kaylee put in the center, and the sentiment came from the Wonderful Friend stamp set.
This is the card we made for their bus driver - just using basic shapes to create the bus out of Sunflower, Black, and Gray cardstock.  The windows are cut out on the front of the card using my square Coluzzle, and the the girls stamped the people on the inside using the Family Ties stamp sets - they then colored them and wrote notes for their bus driver.  I thought the simple strip of black ribbon was a nice finish on the bus.
Thanks for looking!
