Backpack...had to try it...

When I saw that cute little backpack on Splitcoast the first time I just knew I was going to have to try it. My daughter asked me the other day if I could come up with something for my granddaughter's teacher as a thank you for the end of the year. Well, here it is...a backpack filled with 5 little Thank You notes and envelopes. I even made the envelopes (with a little help from the Cricut)! What do you think? I'm not usually one for red but I just love how this turned out. I'm so happy with it I think I'm going to make one for my kiddos that live in Massachussetts to give to their teachers too. We are going up to see them in June and Hunter doesn't get out of school until after we get there so the timing would be perfect. Now if time will just cooperate with me here I just might get them done.



All of the supplies aren't Stampin' Up!, the checked paper and buttons are stuff I had on hand before I started as a Demo. And the letters I cut with the Cricut. I don't know what I did for lettering before Karen got this wonderful little machine. It makes it so easy. I do have to admit though that when you cut small letters it has issues..

Almost forgot to add that I saw this on Splitcoast which has a tutorial but through a bit of blog hopping I was led from there to this wonderful video tutorial by a lady named Tracy. She has a pretty neat blog. Check it out!
