End-of-the-school-year teacher gifts - I made a few of these...October Afternoon Schoolhouse papers; Papertrey Ink felt, notepads and stamps; Spellbinders dies.
A photo of the notebook inside. Decorative paper was cut 8" tall and 6" wide - the notebook opening was folded over about 1/2 inch (as shown on the left) to provide a nice, finished edge.
I can't seem to make but a few of each style without getting bored...so the notebooks ended up being a variety of styles and papers - most of these use October Afternoon's Thrift Shop line.
I used non-gusseted decorative paper sacks as packaging - folded them over in half and added a ribbon bow. Scallop-edged scissors made a nice, decorative edge.
Added the teacher's name in calligraphy using Mish's tags and some string. The calligraphy pen I love and have been using is a Extra Fine Art Pen by Rotring - Jenny Doh wrote about it on her blog in her post here. It's a wonderful writing implement.
The kids wrote a note to each teacher on the back of each tag.
And a pretty basket to carry them all to school in. I'll detail the notebooks for the male teachers next. Thank you for stopping by today!
