Back to School!

#1 Teacher Gifts

Hey all!

So, along with the bus driver's gift, I also sent in little treat bags for all my kids' teachers. (The 3 oldest, anyways. Twins go back to pre-k next week!)

I used a few files from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs and the to/from stamps are by Jaded Blossom.

Inside the bags are a bottle of water with a to-go packet of iced tea mix, a dark chocolate Dove bar and a mini hand sanitizer.  Staples for a first day back to school! :)

The teachers all loved them!

Be sure to check back soon to see what I make for the pre- teachers!

Have a scrap happy day!

End of the Year Teacher Gifts

ORANGE you Glad it's Summer?

My kids' last day of school was the other day, and I always make the teachers, (and the bus driver, bus monitor, teacher aides, school secretaries, and school therapists) something for and end of year gift.  

I saw this idea on Pinterest, you can find the original post HERE, and thought it was super cute and perfect for the end of the school year!

I bought a whole bunch of orange stuff, FUN stuff, like bubbles, frisbees, candy, water balloons, cups, shot glasses, oranges, tic tacs... anything I found that was orange!

For the bags, I bought plain white gift bags and decorated them using my Cameo and MTC and "Got Juice? Mice" file by Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.

I also used the scalloped circle from "Lots of Labels" to make the tags.

I made a total of 22 of these bags. I think I could make this mouse in my sleep! haha

They were a huge hit with everyone tho!  Everyone thought they were super fun! Mission accomplished!

Thanks for coming by and I would love for you to come by my fan page, CBC Scrapbooking to see more of my work!

Have a Scrap Happy Day!

Back to School Teacher Gifts!

Hey All!!!
I am back, kinda. As most of you know I went in for surgery last week, well, it was supposed to be minor, but like everything else in my life, did not go as planned, and turned into major surgery again.
I am doing good, but recovery is painful so I am tad behind on my orders and projects!
I've been home almost a week now, and managed to get some back to school gifts done, as my grade school kids started this week!


This first one is for a 5th grade teacher. Lots of classroom supplies and some yummy treats for him too!!
I used bits and pieces of "ABC-123" from Scrapping Bug Designs to accent the bucket. They are mod podged onto the mats, then those were mod podged onto the bucket. (This bucket, btw, used to have ice cream in it! Totally upcycled it by removing the labels with acetone. Thank you, Pinterest!)
I made little packet holders for the water bottles and used a freebie from SVG Cuts for the lemon slice.

Here's one for the first grade class...... used a lunchbox from DC9

And the Kindergarten one, with my pretty girl holding it, of course!

Just some simple ideas for those Back to School gifts! Hope you liked!!

Happy Scrappin'
