and yes, I realize it's still April (at least for a few more hours). I made this last week instead of waiting until the last possible minute....like 9:55pm Monday night...
I decorated this little gift box for Patrick's teacher for National Teachers Day. I figured I go for a vintage "feel" on this one.
I had some Daisy D's Vintage Kid paper, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for....and then I remembered I had an old, old, old primer-type reader with a 1958 copyright date. Perfect--until I realized someone (my brother!) had taken a black marker and scribbled on several pages. Luckily, I found this image on page 94. Unfortunately, the teacher and the boy in the yellow shirt did not have complete legs, so I had to get creative.
I ended up using some Cosmo Cricket Jitterbug Lil' Suzie paper for the sides and the reverse side for the background on the top, Karen Foster Writing Paper, Heidi Swapp tape (red border), AC rub-ons, MM oval bookplate, Technique Tuesday date stamp, Staz-on, Pearl corner accent sticker are from Michael's, the medium scalloped box came from Wal-Mart.
I filled the box with Smarties and will have Patrick bring it to school on Tuesday. Hope she likes it!
