I can't believe it.
This was the FASTEST. SUMMER. EVER.
Truly.
I feel like we were just writing our bucket list and now the summer is over.
Crazy.
The only good thing about it being the end of summer is that means it's the START OF SCHOOL!
Yay!
I love back-to-school time for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the office/school supply sales. I swear I could spend hours just staring at folders and pens...(that's not weird, right?)
I also love BTS (that's the cool way to write back-to-school...just fyi) because I LOVE making teacher gifts...cards, little mementos, supplies, whatever.
This year I found the perfect Studio Calico accessory to help me create all of those little things I enjoy making for the kids' teachers...the Teacher's Pet Stamp & Die Set...
AAAACK! Are these stamps and die not just perfect? That little pencil and the "A+" are my faves...
And here are some of my favorite projects from the Studio Calico Member Gallery showing just how versatile this set is...
This envelope/card set from ATXmom is absolutely adorable! I love that she is going to slip these into her kids' supplies & snacks...what a wonderful way to start off the year!
Creative Team Member JJ Bolton knocked it out of the park with this chalkboard-themed card...how cool does that look? So cool...
The colors in this fantastic card by Leah really drew me in...and I love the tag and strips of washi she used for her background...
Creative Team Member Dana Fleckenstein's use of orange & pink on this lovely card really caught my eye...
...and Creative Team Member Steph Washburn's card is such a fantastic way to say "thank you" to the people who work so hard for our kids...
So awesome, right? And seriously customizable...
I can't wait to get mine so I can start creating...I may be a little late with the gifts...but I'm sure it'll be OK.
How about you? Do you give your kids' teachers gifts for the start of school?
