Business Cards & Gift Card Cake!

I am linking up a day late for Tara's Monday Made-It linky!

First, I have been wanting to make business cards for the longest time! Then I found an adorable new 4th grade blog

and the awesome business cards that she made for a friend!

They are super cute and reminded me that I really need to make some of my own! There are SO many choices that it is hard to just pick one! Here is what I came up with from Zazzle:

This is the front side and then all of my information is on the back (email, class website, school phone number and address). I'm kinda leaning towards putting all the information on the front and then putting special business card sized magnets on the back so my students' parents can put the card on their fridge/file cabinet, etc.! I'm not 100% sure that this will be the one that I will end up using, but this is my favorite design so far! I definitely want something fun and colorful... I'm not sure if I like all the white space though or if I want the whole card to be colored... there are just too many choices out there!

I'm sure I'll be browsing all the business card sites this week and then hopefully order some this weekend!

Also, my sweet mom's birthday was this past Sunday! My mom is one of the most amazing people I know! She is so thoughtful and inspirational and I love her so much! In addition to being a fabulous mother, she is also my favorite shopping partner, so for her birthday I made her a gift card cake!

I have seen baby shower cakes with baby gifts, wedding cakes with wedding gifts, and even back to school cakes with school supplies, and was trying to think of something similar that I could do, but for a birthday! I was super excited when I thought about making this, and was so happy with how it turned out!

It even matched her card!

Now I need to check out what everyone else made for Tara's Monday Made It!
