BacK To ScHooL! - CJToo's Crafty Designer's Design Team Post

Well, yes folks, it's that time of year again......BacK To ScHooL!  And it includes me as well....yes, I'm going back to college next week as a full time student and I'm scared, nervous, and excited all at the same time!  So wish me luck!


But enough about me.....the CJToo's Design Team has been challenged to create something in honor of going BacK To ScHooL!  There are some very crafty and inspiring creations here for you today.....you can visit Tracy's site - Craft Junkie Too to get a glimpse of all the projects the creative ladies have to show you!

My creation for today is sticky note holders!  I created these for the two teacher friends that I go to church with....Miss Moyer and Mrs Carswell (you may remember that I gave them Teacher Appreciation gifts back in May).  This Sunday, I gave them these "BacK To ScHooL" gifts and they loved them! :)



Sticky Note Holders......Teachers' Red Pens and all!  :)


I started out with a 5x7 clear plastic frame, then added random buttons, ribbon, and patterned paper from The Paper Studio.  To cut the "Back to School" sentiment, I used the Celebrate with Flourish cartidge to cut it at 1.5".  To finish them off, I tied on the red pens with jute twine and then added the sticky note pads.  Easy peasy and inexpensive project!

Be sure to check out all the other crafty design team members for their inspiring "Back to School" projects!
