BERRY Best Teacher!

This week we were to make a template with a "Back to School" theme. I decided to go the non-traditional route.....no apples, letters, bright colors, etc! I love pink and thought of the sentiment last night that would be perfect. So I got up this morning and luckily enough I didn't wake up until after 6:30! That is a first in a long time so I took advantage of sleeping in.....(my explanation for my late post!) What I wanted to put on the inside were those little candy strawberries, but of course I don't have any so you will just have to pretend. I used Lauren's new Template "Fold n-Go"......LOVE IT! It is so darn cute and very, very easy to assemble. I used the smaller version that comes with the package....all for $5!


I stamped the larger strawberry from one of my favorite PTI sets, Green Thumb. Then I added the strawberries on the tag from Vintage Picnic. I colored in my BERRY with my copics and added a little ribbon to finish my project! I really like how it turned out!

Go check out the other gals creations and be sure to link yours up to Mr. Linky on Lauren's Blog. Lauren is picking 5 lucky projects each week called the "My Time to Shine"!
Have a great weekend!

Oh my gosh Alicia this is spectacular - SO berry sweet *tee hee* and I'm sure greatly appreciated by the teacher. Great idea and love how that new template works up.

WOW! This is so pretty!! I love pink also, especially combined with olive or leaf green. What a great way to use the strawberries, and I really love that you didn't color them red! Sometimes we get so stuck in a rut with the color we think something should be, you know? Love how this turned out. Your tag and the ribbon are PERFECT! I was so wishing I had the teacher stamp set last night...but to no avail. So, I went with a gift for Tia :O)

Can't wait to hear what you got at Michaels! I haven't been since I talked to you, but I'm cooking something up with the supplies I did buy! Tia and I went shopping ALL DAY today. Seriously. Left at 8:30 and JUST got home (7:45). I hope to talk to you soon also. Maybe if tomorrow is slow :)

Have a great weekend, my friend. I'll talk to you soon.

While Dav'es away......I go to Hobby Lobby!

Dave and the oldest two went to the cold Homecoming football game.  So Em and I decided to eat supper with my parents and make a trip to Hob...
