Update:
I know this is an older post, but I'm going to join Nancy's linkly party at The Apple Basket Teacher. Let's all share our amazing creations.
Every summer I go a little crazy with Vista Print orders, and I tell myself that I am not going to order anything new next year. Of course, I keep ordering again and again. I'm still waiting on a big sale, but my shopping cart is loaded full of goodies. I thought I'd share some of the things I've made.
I use these business cards as a reward in my treasure chest. Some of the things I write on the card are sit by a friend, sit in the teacher's chair, chew gum for the day, wear a hat to school, etc. Everything is something that doesn't cost me any money, and my students LOVE it.
This return address label will be new for me this year. I've yet to find a system I really like for saving my students' work when they are absent, so I'm going to try this out next year. I'll just write their name on the sticker and circle if I want them to complete it at school or home and stick it in my makeup work box.
I'll send these postcards home a few weeks before school starts back. If I get my class list in time. Last year it was too late :(
I'm excited to try out these reflection cards next year. I hope they help students reflect on their choices and how their choices effect others.
These return address labels will go inside students' library folders to help select "just right" books.
I'll use the return address labels on tests that I want students to retake.
I love the brochures I make for open house. They're much cuter without all of the red arrows :)
I'd like to make something to stick on papers about how their work meets the standard, so let me know if you have any great ideas.
On another note, yippee for 100 followers!!! I promise that as soon as I get home from vacation and have my real computer I'll post a freebie!

Those are supercute! Congrats on 100 followers :D
Your post made me laugh because ever since I discovered vistaprint 2 years ago, I have developed a serious addiction. I say every summer, I will just get this. And I end up placing multiple orders in July and August.
Cute stuff by the way!
I like your label idea for work that students miss when they are out.
One thing I always do to save myself some time is set up a "while you were out" station.
I staple the sides of 5 manilla folders closed and label each one with a weekday. Then I hang them on a closet or cabinet door. When I am passing out work, it is easy enough to write the student's name at the top of the paper and drop it in the correct folder as I walk by. Students know that if they've been absent, the first thing they should do when they walk in the next day is grab the work they missed from the folder for that day.
I haven't placed an order yet this summer. But don't ask me about last summer. What is it about Vista Print and no self control? LOL

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one without any self control! What gets me is that I usually only use about half of what I make. One the year gets going and things become crazy I forget to even use my goodies.
I hadn't thought about using Vista Print to create things for my classroom. You may have started something.
I love the brochure you created - you're giving me ideas :)
Thanks for participating in the contest! Looking forward to checking out your blog.
Stopping by through the contest. So excited to be a new follower of your blog!
