Teacher Appreciation Week


Last week was Teacher Appreciation Week for Mac, my Kindergartner. I always struggle with what to get. So I decided to make something instead. He has had a great year so I wanted to make something special and different, without breaking the bank. I had to make 7 total.

I just got a Cricut machine...totally loving it! I love antique keys so I used it to cut out some vintage looking keys on black cardstock.



Next I scanned a copy of the dictionary page with the definition of "teacher" on it. I then added the saying "Teachers hold the key to our future" and printed it out on cardstock. I aged the edges with a stamp pad after cutting it with pinking sheers. Glued on the key and put it in a black frame.

Voila...a unique teacher gift. I wrapped it in these adorable bags too.


I hope they liked them! It is just a little something to thank them for all that they do. We appreciate it more than they know.

Linking up to these great sites...be sure to check out these site for total inspiration:
