School's Out - Thank a Teacher!

We are going to pick up our grandson after his last final at boarding school.  He will be home until May 30 when he will leave for a month to go to Ole Miss for a class while still in high school.  He has had classes this year at Mississippi State University as well.  The poor kid doesn't know whether to yell "Go Rebels" or "Go 'Dawgs" lol!  But we are die hard Rebels...  Go SEC!

This is our Elliott:

His teachers are the most kind, wonderful, caring staff any school could have.  They take the students (there are only juniors and seniors) and keep them under their wing.  They are encouraging and spend time tutoring on their own time if need arises and keep parents informed of everything!.  It is a rigorous process to get accepted and quite an honor as there are less than 300 students.  Needless to say, we call our grandson an egg head!  The school has been ranked eighth in the nation; the staff, first.

I had to make something to send to his teachers.

Here is my card:

I started with a whited card stock base.  I added a panel of red and white polka dotted paper from Stampin' Up.  I made a "clip board"from craft card stock by cutting a rectangle and using a corner rounder from Creative Memories .  I put "the sheet of paper" down on the board and added a die cut of a file folder tab cut in half using silver glitter paper from Co'ordinations.  I attached the "clip" using pop dots and placed to metal dots on the clip to make it look realistic.  The "you're" sentiment is from Little B.  I am unsure where I got the "sweet" die from but I love how they stand out in white.  The pencil is an old sticker in my stash (usually the ones that end up in Emma's scrapbook making box) stuck on card stock then placed on pop dots.  The "clip board" is attached with pop dots.

It is a simple card but I think a teacher would appreciate it attached to a happy!
