A wish for you all

Wishing every Mom a very Happy Mother's Day. My mama left this life nearly 10 years ago to join her three sons in heaven. I feel her love upon me all the time and miss her more than words can say. For those of you who are able, be sure to give your mama a loving hug on this day, and every day that you can! Happy Mother's Day to you too Mama!

Template for Mother's Day Stationary

Hi,
I was asked to share my template and here it is...

Not sure why this looks this way! But didn't want to take the time to figure it out, right now! ;-)

Again, I have the kids use a black Flair pen to draw. Each child makes 4 different pictures. They sign each card (I removed the year from this template). Then I make copies on cardstock. The stationary gets cut and the children fold all 12 of their cards. They count out 12 envelopes and stack the stationary on top of the envelopes.
This year I used colored paper strips to wrap the sets (rather than ribbon). We cut out scalloped circles (with my Stampin' Up punches) and wrote "MOM" inside the center circle.
Here's a picture of the final project. Have fun!

Mother's Day Linky Party

I thought it might be fun to share project ideas for Mother's Day. I know everyone sends something home to the moms that's really nice. So feel free to share here in the lounge!

 Typically, I have each child make a set of hand-drawn note cards. Each set has 12 cards and envelopes. The children use black felt tipped markers to draw four different pictures. I copy them on cardstock and cut apart.  (Note; we do NOT color them, I think they look better as simple line drawings).
The children fold the notecards and count out envelopes. Folding correctly can be a challenge for some of my kinders, but they manage!
I lay a couple of strips of masking tape along the edge of a table for the kids to use as a measuring guide for ribbon. We tie off the ribbon to hold the cards together. (although this year we may use a strip of scrapbook paper to hold them together). The kids make a Mother's Day card, choose a colorful bag with matching tissue paper and voila! ;) Each mom gets a set of 12 cards with 4 different designs. Some Moms will frame them a set and hang them on the wall. I will post images and share my template soon. (Everything is at school) ;-) Check back here because they are ADORABLE!
So.... Link us to your blog you can share what do you have your students do for their Mom for Mother's Day!
