The Three R's

Happy Diva Tuesday!

It is hard to believe that there are only 9 1/2 weeks of school left and the last quarter always flies by since there is so much to do to get the 5th graders transitioned to middle school. I have a few students in my class that have excelled with their Accelerated Reader (AR) points, so I made these awards for them. I may need more, but I thought I would start with the top 3.

The "Be Mine" Bear

Welcome back for another challenge at Made Especially for You. This week we were required to use the provided sketch and a digi (which I am STILL not very good at, but I continue to try!)

I have to share that this was not the first card I created for the sketch. I made another one, then realized I had to use the sponsor's digi. I am including it, so you can see how versatile this sketch can be. I am also hoping it will encourage you to enter our challenge. The submissions have been low and I would love to see more participation.
