Mini Valentine's Day Cards

*** UPDATED, 01/14/2011, to include another challenge ***

With Valentine's Day fast approaching I decided to make Valentine's Day cards for my daughter, Katie, to give to her classmates.  There are seven young adult students in her Educational Life Skills Transition Class, and she is the only girl.  Which means all her classmates are young men.  Since it is so hard to find cards that don't represent hugging, or kissing, I made friendship cards for her.

6 Valentine's Day Cards

1 of the cards, with another showing the inside, along w/the envelope.

Katie doesn't write her name unless it's done hand-over-hand, and she won't do it with me so I used the Jessie's ABC's to sign her name on the cards.

Next are the teacher cards.  I haven't finalized them yet.  I believe I saw an apple stamp over at Lawn Fawn's site that I will pick up.  It will work great on the cover.

Cards for her Teacher and the 2 Teacher Assistants

These mini cards are being submitted for two challenges that are presently open.  The first is for The Paper Players Theme Challenge PP29 Happy Valentine's Day, and the second is for Wee Memories Scrappy Saturday Challenge #38 sponsored by The Twinery.

*** While going thru the list of card challenges which I have been participating in I realized that there is one more challenge for this set.  It is the Crazy 4 Color Inspiration Challenge C4C69 .
