July Stamp Date: Bright Color/Geometric/Animal Challenge

June Stamping Adventures
Since we skipped our June Playdate, I thought I'd share my stamping projects for the month of June. At the end of the schoolyear I'm always in a quandry on how to appropriately thank my volunteers for their service and devotion to the classroom throughout the past 9 months. This year I decided I would make bundles of cards (8-10 assorted with both blank and thank you) to give each volunteer along with a card created by their own child and signed by the rest of the students who benefitted from their participation as a volunteer.
Since I am known as a hoarder by some of my closer friends and family members (it's totally untrue!! Wellllll, partially untrue!) I just so happened to have a LARGE quantity of cards on hand to help with this task. Though not as many as the 150 or so I would need by the time all was said and done...
Here I began to sort the cards by volunteer....
(Why yes, Ashley, that IS your springform pan -- it was on the counter and worked so well for the task at hand. Not to worry I washed it yet again after this purpose!)
I created a nametag with each volunteers name.
The bundles were in disarray as I made sure each volunteer was accounted for. It was late at night at this point and I had made several lists and had to check each one twice!
Here they are in their nearly completed state, had I planned this better all of the cards on top would have been portrait vs. landscape.
(At least I know better for next year if I do this again!)
This is an example of the final product, worthy of a fine volunteer!
(or so I hope! It's hard to know if people appreciate the effort that goes into handmade cards.)
Since I was on a role (and avoiding report cards a little) I decided to also make a bundle of 10 cards each for each of my grade level teammates and my other supportive coworkers/hallway neighbors whom I will dearly miss as I move buildings yet once again.
I love this label stamp/punch combo -- thanks, Steph, for letting me stamp a bunch when you brought it here! I knew it'd come in handy for something. :)
I can't wait to see everyone's creative creations for the month of July!!!

May's Green or Masculine Challenge
May's playdate was yet another fun event! We had a lot of fun green ideas but found the "masculine" component quite the challenge. Perhaps rubber stamps in general don't lend themself to the masculine genre. We had terrific projects nonetheless and here are the photos as proof along with a few make-ups from previous months. It just dawned on me that our beverages also met the "green challenge" -- completely by chance!
Note: for some reason random photos upload wrong and I can't fix their orientation, trust me when I say I have tried!!!
