This card is for a friend that is a teacher. She will be going back to work soon and I wanted to let her know how much I admire her for what she does. I used several challenges. This week's color , sketch and ways to use it challenge. I am not sure I did so well with the Ways to Use it.
Edit: Well I have spent the past week and a half working on a greeting for the inside of this card. This was much harder than the outside to create.
Please except my apologizes for any awkward phrasing!
Teachers do teach
that certainly is true,
But there is so much more
than that in what you do.
You seek inside the child
to the tiny seed within,
And see its potential to become
more than it has been.
You add the light of knowledge
and water with some praise.
You encourage and support, and hope
that their self esteem will raise.
No, it is not just the learning
of numbers, sets and sums,
or just letters, sounds and words.
It is greater than just curriculum.
Yes, teachers do teach, it is very true,
but you also support and nurture every day.
And when the year is over
send each student on their way.
So accept this recognition
and our heartfelt gratitude
for all the wondrous caring
that in this year you'll do!

What a nice thought to send your friend this card....sometimes we forget to tell people that we appreciate them. Like how you used the sketch, and the paper for the background. Sweet card. tfs
