Thanks to all of you for thinking of the teachers.

Great projects and what more could anyone ask for but chocolate and apple. The teacher card is absolutely wonderful. I like the colors, the sheet of paper with the stamped flower and background paper. It all fits together. The other card is also cute. Thanks for sharing.

Those are fantastic!
