A fond farewell for Miss Blum

My daughter was very attached to her 1st Grade student teacher Miss Blum.  her last day was last Thursday and this is what we made her.

Note cards and a fancy favor purse.  Each child in the class had a 3x3 tart and tangy note card to write her a special message on her last day.  then she could take all the notes home as a keepsake in her fancy favor box purse.

I recently held a class for these chalkboard stands.  OMGoodness these are so fun to make. Miss Blum got a double sided one that was mostly designed by my daughter.

and here is the other side:

I completely stole this idea from My up-up-upline Jan.  Ohhhh how I love my team!  they have some of the best ideas!!!

Supplies:  this uses the longboard chip board and the decor elements chalkboard (bulk) both sold by Stampin' Up!  various dsps, embellishements and dies for the bigshot!

Stay tuned tomorrow has more versions of these cool chalkboards!!
