SVG Attic Guest Designer Katie Williams

So on the whim, and the encouragement from a friend, I applied to be a Guest Designer for SVG Attic.  I made it!  I am the Guest DT for May and let me tell you that Beth, Jodi, Mike and Kenzie are some of the nicest people to work with!  

Okay, okay, enough about talking and on to my project...

Today is a simple one, (once again life is crazy). Teacher Appreciation Week is this week so I put together two treats boxes for each of my kid's teacher.

I used the the Apple Handled box from the SDS Gearing Up 4 School Kit. I placed a piece of clear plastic in front of the opening and filled the box with Hershey kisses.  The sentiment and pictures are from Jaded Blossom and they can be found, here.

Here is a top view.

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my project and look forward to more posts this month!

Teachers' Apple Treat Boxes with Beth

Where I live, the school year will be over in one month.  Yikes!  I am planning for teacher appreciation gifts right now, so I am not scrambling at the last minute trying to figure something out to give them. (FYI- Teacher Appreciation week is May 4-8 this year.)

 When I came across these sweet apple treat boxes, I knew they would be perfect!  They are from SVG Attic's Gearing Up 4 School set.  I stuffed them with candy, because after teaching small children all day, I am sure teachers appreciate a little chocolate break now and then :)

 I made the boxes in different colors and used DCWV's Grade School stack for the patterned paper.

I added fun buttons and twine on the top and they were finished!  I can add a tag with the teacher's name on them if I decide to.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Chevron EOS Lip Balm Treats ~ with Courtney

Chevron + EOS = LOVE

I just love all things Chevron and the ways to use the EOS lip balm capsules are brilliant.

So when a friend asked me to make a few EOS favors for a tea party, I knew just what to do.

I started with the Chevron Flowers.  I resized them, (with proportions checked) to 4.409.  The center circle came out exactly the size needed for the EOS capsule.  I cut two layers.  One chevron pattern and one solid with a coordinating color.  Then I used the leaves from the Apple Card from Gearing Up 4 School.  I used dimensionals to pop the leaves away from the flower.  I inserted the capsule.  Added a bit a bling to the leaves and I had darling little tea party treats for some sweet young ladies.

They were so much fun to cut and assemble.

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a fabulously crafty day!  ♥

An Apple (Box) for the Teacher -- with Julie

I recently threw a party for one of my staff.  She is cutting way back on her hours with me, and starting a full-time teaching job.  I made her a few things to show her how much we all cared about her.  One of the gifts was this Apple Box from SVG Attic.

I used the optional cupcake cutout in the bottom and the cupcake fit in perfectly.  It didn't last long, though!

This Apple Box is part of the SDS Gearing Up 4 School kit.

I put a tag on top, and wrote a sweet message on it, telling her the things I was thankful for in the 8 years we've worked together.

I've got one last view to share with you of my apple box.

She plans to keep the box on her desk, filled with her favorite candy. I like that idea!
