Back to School Teacher Card

Since I was a teacher my whole life, I have many teacher friends. I think of them when school starts because every year there are new stresses and harder issues. I thought I would dedicate my Just Us Girls #647 Challenge: Back to School Card to a math teacher friend of mine. We worked together at a difficult school but we kept our sanity by getting together outside of school to have lunch out and take our time eating! (We had 25 minutes from the time the kids left for lunch until we were teaching again.) 

I decided to make an asymmetrical card for a change (sort of geometric for a math teacher) and chopped off half of the front of the card base. Then I matted the card inside and out with patterned papers that look math-related. I stamped my image and colored it with markers. I matted the image with card stock and attached it to the diagonal card front. Easy!! I wrote a message to her in the white area of the inside left panel of the card.

We hope you will join us this week with Back to School cards...maybe for a student, teacher, aide, cafeteria worker or bus driver? They all need our support and believe me they appreciate the thought!
