It's the last day of school!!!

It's finally the last day of school, my boys and I have 6 weeks off together!!! Don't get me wrong I love my job but it's sometimes tough and this last couple of weeks have been Tough with a capital T ;-) I have planned lots of catching up with friends, lots of baking (I have missed this since working) and having fun with my two monkeys.

Anyway, here are the cards I made for the boys' teachers/support staff, I made 3 of each so 6 in total. They gave gifts also, I'll pop these in a seperate post. I didn't make them but they are handmade and very cute.

The image on the cards is from Digistamp Boutique, he came as a set of 2 (one boy, one girl) and I think they are perfect for unfussy cards. The papers are from Nitwit Collections, I just love the apples paper :-)

The second card is very similar (look quickly and they look identical!) but I used different ribbon and instead of buttons I used themed brads that I found in my stash (an apple and a ruler)...

I would like to enter the top card in the following challenges:
Incy Wincy - Dust It Off (seam binding leftover from Xmas cards, apple punch never used, had brads for years!)
Digistamp Boutique - July Competition
Divas by Design - Anything Goes

Supplies:
Image - from the set Thank You Kids by Digistamp Boutique (I only purchased this recently but I can't see that it's available now?)
Papers - from the set Live 'n Learn by Nitwit Collections
Brads, pearls & buttons - stash
Ribbons - Crafty Ribbons
Other - apple punch (been in my stash for aaagggeeesss but I'd never used it), Quickutz corner die, brown chalk inkpad
