Made for Monday!

Yeah!! In this installment of Made for Monday… I have 2 major things :) First is the little table gifts that I made for this past weekend’s Anniversary Crop for the wonderful croppers who came to celebrate 1 year at Late Night Croppers!!  I made these little hand sanitizer containers, and matching post-it note holders… When I finished them, I realized that they would make a cute little gift for the teachers at the kids’ school… So, I made them in a “teacher” version too :)  They are super easy to make, but I think that they are also super cute!!

Here’s the version I made for Late Night Croppers (papers are My Mind’s Eye)… The post-it holders are the little acrylic frames, so they sit on the table at a little angle…

Here’s a side view of the hand sanitizer… You can kind of see how it works… there’s a little piece of velcro holding the flap shut, so it can be opened and closed easily…

And, the teacher’s version… Instead of hoarding this BEAUTIFUL Studio Calico paper, I actually used to to make gifts!!! I may have to purchase more just so I CAN hoard it ’cause I love it so much :) I’m using the apple paper (that goes with the line) for the kids’ main teachers’ gifts in addition to these… I’ll post pics when I’m done… Needs to be soon ’cause their last day is Friday :)

The original idea for the Hand Sanitizer container came from one of my favorite blogs… Dawn’s Stamping Thoughts… BUT, of course, my hand sanitizer was a different size… So, the dimensions etc are completely different… took some trial and error, but I love how they came out!!

And… I have the July Zutter Book for the next class at Ink About It in Westford all done!! It uses the fabulous “Liberty” line by Bo Bunny… But, it’s not necessarily a 4th of July book… Could be used for any fun pictures!!! It uses cover-alls :) Here’s a sneak peek of the front cover… Give the store a call if you want to join in the class!! You don’t need to have your own Zutter machine, I always bring mine :) New people are always welcome!

Whew! That’s about it for now… Still have a bunch of projects to finish up… but making some headway!!
