You Create: ID card

So, I hear that homeschool teachers can often get the same discounts that public school teachers receive at stores.  The catch however is to prove that you are indeed a teacher.  I have the paperwork from the district, showing that we are homeschooling, but who really keeps the 8 1/5 x 11 sheet of paper (suitable for framing filing) on them at all times.  I've read several places that an ID card can be helpful, both for the parent, and as they get older, for the child.

I took that idea and ran with it.  After reading one of the comments some one posted about using their children's initials, I though of King.  My family disagreed.  They (Justin and Kate) thought that the idea of the initials was good and all, but they didn't like the name as much as Knights.  So we had our mascot.

I don't have any fancy editing software, so I just put our ID's together in PowerPoint, since I can do basic layering and cropping there.  Then I used self-sealing laminating pouches from 3M ($4.99 for a pack of 5) at Target.  I figure I'll save a dollar a year with it anyway.

The finished product looks like this:

That's the back with it in the laminate pouch:

I haven't tried to use it for a discount yet, but when I do, I'll let you know if I should have just laminated our paperwork or not!
