Back To School

Hey, everyone!

I saw a video tutorial on Angie Juda's Chic 'n Scratch blog for a Post It Notes Organizer and decided to make one for my daughter's second grade teacher. She starts school today so I made this last night. I hope she likes it! Mine is a little different than the one Angie shows but just a little!
I added a monogram for her teacher using Orange Peel Stickles available from The Angel Company. I had punched an "s" using my Sizzix machine so I used that for a template and carefully traced the opening with the sparkly glue! It's one of my favorite ways to add sparkle and shimmer to nearly any project! I used the Super Circle Punch and Mega Scalloped Circle Punch for the monogram layers. You can also purchase these punches through TAC.

Here is the inside of the organizer. The left side has a pocket which I think is super cute! The right side of the organizer holds a sticky note pad and ink pen.
Here you can see the cardstock I placed inside the ink pen is also the same cardstock I used for the base of the organizer. I thought it would be a fun look!

The bottom right side of the organizer is stamped with a retired SOTM. I thought it was appropriate since she is an elementary teacher...seeing "little" people all day! Then there's also the fact that this is a "little" something for her....and sometimes just knowing someone thinks of you can mean so much!

I will share some photos of my daughter with you all tomorrow. It's so hard to believe that she is already in second grade!!! I am crying! Where does the time go???? Take care and I'll see you again tomorrow with more pictures and projects!

Hugs,
