Busy Week

Man, it's been a busy week. It was my older son's last week of Kindergarten and my in laws have been in town. Hasn't left much time for creating. But I did take the chance to use some retiring Washington Apple Designer Series Paper to make a few cute creations.

This was for Stampin' Addict's sketch challenge 14. The sketch was inspired by a card in the 2008 Spring Summer Collection book. I used the square punches too which was part of the accessory challenge over there too. (Love it when I make something that fits more than one category.)



Then on Thursday, I set out to make my son's teacher an end of the school year gift. Nothing like the last minute since Friday was the last day of school. I modified Becky Roberts' Milk Carton holder to make it a bit wider and taller. I filled it with things that might help her enjoy her summer vacation a little more: a water bottle with a Crystal Light Drink Mix; sunscreen, bug spray, lotion, a blockbuster gift card, and a little fan. I also modified the milk carton pattern to make it taller so I could fit in more of the teacher's favorite candies: Reese Peanut Butter Cups. I hope she liked how it turned out.
