Along with the PTI blog hop I am entering a few other challenges.. all listed below!

Lets get on with it shall we!! Here is a close up of my flower.. I have to say I LOVE how it turned out.. and will be making MORE! :) I just cut 4 circles sized 1 1/4 up to 2 inches.. then added score tape along the outside (I tried my Xxyron but it wasnt strong enough) then wrapped the ribbon... added each circle on top of each other.. topped it off with one of the buttons I made with digi paper and my dies!
Here is what I made up - I just LOVE templates.. and this time I decided to whip up PTIs Take Along Tote- It was so QUICK and EASY! (dont ya LOVE that!)
Used my new stamps, and dies from PTI! and of course spellbinders dies... I really liked Heathers example in the idea book you get when you buy these.. she put the pockets inside the box, so I did that too.. it isnt filled yet.. but here is a photo so you can see them!

This template is from Perfect Presentation (Bag It Up used SVG file!) Seriously a FUN EASY template.. I had to make 8 of them.. after getting my stuff all cut and ready.. it took me about 2 hours to get them all together.. Not bad at all! (considering I have template that take 2 hours (PLUS) for one!

One day was candy day! So Amanda made up these cute tags.. for the treats!
One day was bring in Post-It Notes.. I figured she would get ALOT.. so Amanda and I decided to make up one she could keep on her desk! (The teachers favorite color is red.. so Amanda picked this combo out!)
Then one day was school supply day.. I didnt take a photo of the pencil top erasers and kleenex she asked for! LOL!

Here are the cards Amanda made up for the recess teachers, and some friends.. she had to make 7.. but used these 2 cute flowers for them!
Here are all the boxes-
Now if your wondering what is inside.. (some had candy.. some did not since it was candy day earlier.. but here is one with it!) I used my SCAL to cut them all .. shrank it down..
