Nate's Thank You Cards

The good news is...I got a full time job teaching at my son's school.  The bad news is...I haven't had much time for crafts.  It has been so busy around here that Nate and I are just now working on his thank you cards when his birthday was 5 weeks ago!!!  I think they are pretty cute and needed a post on my blog, so here you go.

Nate's Aunt Anna took the picture and we had multiple copies made.  I trimmed it down to fit on a 4.24 in x 5.5 in piece of paper and used the corner round cut for the corners.  The process actually morphed into cutting the background corners also.  I used Stampin' Up! Close to Cocoa card stock which I cut in half lengthwise and then scored.

We had twenty to write and it would take an eternity to get all of those done if I expected Nate to write them all, so I had him write "Dear [blank], Thank you for the [blank].  Love, Nate", scanned it in and made copies of it on Stampin' Up! Whisper White card stock so all he had to do was write the name and the gift.

Voila!  Easy, cuter and more personal than any store-bought card, and a fun project that Nate and I could do together.  I hope you like it.
