{Teacher Appreciation Gift}

 
The school year is coming to a close and it's time to start thinking about teacher gifts. Instead of the usual chocolates or candles, why not give them some supplies that will be helpful in their classroom, with sentimental notes?

I took at trip to my local dollar store and found this adorable little red pail and tons of fun supplies to fill it.  I made two sets: one for Jacob’s teacher, and another for his amazing Teacher’s Assistant.

The fresh and fun papers from "On the Bright Side" and embellishments from Miss Caroline Dilly Dally, Indie Chic, and On the Sunny Side.  I also really enjoyed using the decorate tapes from the new Indie Chic collections.  I love how all of these different lines worked so perfectly together.  I printed the quotes on the b-side of the "White Wood" paper, it looks just like lined school paper!  I loved using all of the striped twines too.

Supplies: On the Bright Side:Multi Chevron patterned paper, Stitched patterned paper, Floral patterned paper, White Wood patterned paper, Blue Wood patterned paper, Red Wood patterned paper, accessory sheet; Miss Caroline-Dilly Dally: brads, twine, 3D stickers; Indie Chic: decorative tapes, chipboard, twine,brads; On the Sunny Side: brads; Misc.-black ink
