Teacher Gifts

Finally, DH is home!! Yeah! Means more time for crafting(when I'm not spending time with him!). So - my kids are nearly out of school for the year here in the UK(more like year-round school system), so I figured I should make something for their teachers! I knew I wanted to do some kind of a box, but I just wasn't sure which one. Then I kept seeing ideas with purses..... lots of purses! So I had to do a couple of those. I was wondering which cart besides Forever Young, because I don't have that one. Thank goodness I have TBBM!!! So I cut two out at fit to page on a 12x12 mat - which made them 7 inches. Perfect size for a little goodie bag! I have to buy some more ribbon as my littlest one decided he should throw my ribbon into the garbage, where I didn't notice until other things had been dumped onto it. : ( Oh well - he's just two - what are you going to do. So off to the store tomorrow to get some ribbon to match one of the purses. I'll have to wait a bit to get more from PaperTreyInk. So here are the purses - pretty simple, but I'm happy with how they turned out! Oh - and I made a flower for one of them using lyrical letters! I've seen this done so much lately I figured I should try. I've seen much more beautiful creations with those flowers, but I'm happy with how mine turned out. I also embossed it using my cuttlebug. Good crafting everyone!
