A Simple Thank You card

I made this simple thank you card in a rush Wed morning.  I knew the end of the school year was coming, why did I wait until the last minute?  It was my daughter's first year of school and she loved her kindergarten teacher.
I used all SU products.

Father's Day Card

Just a simple Father's Day card, made with my usual mix of SU and CM papers.  The foam finger was cut from the Father's Day seasonal cart, the circle from George and the Dad from Beyond Birthdays (an oldie but a goodie).

Finished the Planetarium Shirts

I had so much fun with these!  Heat transfer vinyl is so easy and addicting to work with and I enjoyed playing with color combos and fonts.  I hope the kids like them as much as I do.
 The shooting star came from Hannah Montana.  I used gold and silver siser easy weed but I forget what font this was.
 When I told the teacher I was making the shirts, she said she wanted one, too.  I don't know if she just said that to make me happy or if she really wanted one, but I made hers the sun-since she is the center of the class, like the sun is the center of the solar system.  There are lots of suns to choose from but I used the one from the Sesame Street Seasons cart.  That's also where the word came from.
 Neptune is my husband's favorite.  The colors are striking-sky blue and light blue siser easy weed.
 The asteroid came from Every Day Paper Dolls and was cut at  6 inches Real Dial Size.  I hand cut the black layer underneath so it would show through the holes and I used the nifty fifties font again.
 Mars had to be red and this vinyl wasn't the siser, it came from craftvinyl.com.  The font is from Nursery Rhymes.
 Uranus is siser, dark green and cream and the font is, I think, Plantain Schoolbook.
 I'm not really happy with Jupiter.  I used a diffferent layer of the planet from Superman and it looked good, but not once I put the eye on.  The font is from Life's a Party.  The colors are brown and cream and red, all siser.
 Venus is from Nursery Rhymes again, the colors are siser sky blue and violet.
The star is so shiny!  It's all silver, there is just a reflection on the bottom of the word in the picture.  I used the star of car decals.  I cut the word from Hannah Montana.  I used silver foil HTV from craftvinyl.com and the rest of my rainbow glitter.  Silver glitter woud have been better, but I didn't want to reorder just one piece.  The foil and glitter are a little thicker and so you need to adjust your bade settings accordingly.
