Happy Secretary's Day - Two Cards

I made a couple of cards for the great women you meet when you walk into my son's school. Secretary's Day was last week, but we were on Spring Break, so we celebrated the day this week. I don't have any Happy Secretary's Day stamps, do you? But I wanted to tell them Thank You for all they do. Their job is definitely not easy.

Both cards use one of my favorite Papertrey Ink sets (Everyday Button Bits). I wanted the cards to be similar, so I chose to use Kraft cardstock (my favorite) for both. They also have the new Dotty Biscotti paper from Papertrey Ink.

Half the button are "threaded" with thin strips of Dotty Biscotti paper; the others with linen thread.  The "Soaring by to say" card has the Thank You sentiment stamped on the inside.

Thanks for stopping by!
