Ya know, every family has that one family member who is hard to buy for, figure out, or quess their real personality. Come on, admit it. Well, this card is intended for one of my sisters. She’s a School Principal and Coordinator of Services for a general area in her locale. She’s quippy, whitty, quick with comebacks, and snarky. To come up with something for HER birthday was extremely tiresome. But, thanks to a fellow Pinterester, Deena, I think I have come up with something. Deena re-posted a blog of hers from 2014 featuring a backpack card. That got my attention! I’ve had the basic card constructed for about a week now and finally decided how to finish t just this morning. I modified it from the tutorial to incorporate educational themed experiences. In the small outer pocket of the “Backpack” are two small inserts that contain a checklist of “To Do’s” and a ;list of books to carry. As seen in the second picture, the first page of the backpack has handwriting/alphabet recognition exercise sheets hung from string. Well, supposed to be student examples of excellent work for others hung from “whatever”. I found free clipart of handwriting/alphabet sheets ( each different), copied them onto a Word document, printed them out, and filled in the letters needed to complete “Happy Birthday”. I placed them back on the printer, scanned them to the computer and reduced them to the size I needed and made my own cut outs. The small brown pieces of paper are supposed to be small clothes pins attaching the worksheets to a line in the “room” for display. “Excellent work”, “Good Job”. On the last page is the Happy Birthday Greeting, which has been stamped to another clipart, affixed to card stock. It’s all held together by a small velcro dot. So if you are looking for a card for a teacher who isn’t into flowers, or the cutesy stuff, try a backpack card!!!! Modify to your heart's content. I just might do a video on this one????
