School Memories Get Well Card

I've worked in education for all of my adult life.  So when I found some school-themed papers with a vintage vibe (the School Memories Collection by Prima Marketing) while on vacation in January, I just had to buy them.  And finally I'm getting around to using them: on this get well card for a colleague who recently had surgery.  This card didn't involve any stamping (except for the inside sentiment), although I did ink up all the edges and distress the report card to make it look genuinely old.


To accompany the card I created another moo-sized magnet.  I just love making these!  I even went and bought more magnets today because I was running low.  I won't say I'm obsessed, but I know I will be making more moo magnets in the near future.


Welcome to my new followers and thank you all for stopping in for a peek at my blog. Have a fabulous day.
