Back to School

It's time to go back to school here in South Carolina!  I am so excited for the school year ahead. Connor is starting at May River Montessori and it's now Molly's FOURTH year at this school.  She started in the Toddler Cottage program when she was just two years old and has done incredibly well.  This year is her last year of the primary program (a three year program in Montessori) or the equivalent of Kindergarten. She's getting so big! Connor starting at this incredible school is so thrilling to me.  He's going to love it and we know he'll do just as well. 

Today I am sharing handmade school themed cards by our PSA Essentials Design Team. These are cards you can make for your kids, or for your teacher.  It's a great way to thank teachers for all their hard work, or an extra special lunch box note to your little one.  They all use Peel & Stick stamps by PSA Essentials!

I really love this one for an extra special lunch box note! Kelley used the A+ stamp found in Super Star Peel & Stick stamps and her acrylic blocks. She dipped the stamp in a rainbow of inks and stamped onto white cardstock. She has used purple twine from The Twinery and framed it against red cardstock. Clean and simple! Just the way I like it. 

These two cards are great for encouraging your little one at school.  Make these ones to congratulate them on high test scores, when they've gone above and beyond, or just to encourage them in school.

Lastly, I loved these ones by Regina Magnum. The first is for a soccer coach as a thank you (she even made a gift card holder.)  And the second, is a mock report card which I think would be great for encouraging your student or rewarding your student for a report card well done.

Back to school time can be a really exciting time, it can also be mixed with anxiety and a bit of dread. Gone are the lazy days and low-key schedule of summer. For helpful tips on how to ease the transition back to school, be sure to check out this post by one of our retailers, More Than Paper. It's chalk full of great advice! 

I'll post pictures of the kids on their first day of school. There are so many fun ideas on Pinterest of how to take back to school pictures. Share your ideas and pictures with us on our Facebook page!
