Last of the Teacher's books!

I've made a few of these over the last 4/5 years for the grandchildren to give their teachers when they are moving up to the next class or school as the case might be at the time. Charlie is leaving his present school this year and joining his big brother so this is the teacher's book for him to give her today on his last day. A little different from the others as it's a folding concertina type. I've had the blank chipboard book that came with an open ended box to put it in for what seems like years, well it probably is! I think it was a Provo Craft one and the paper I've used is equally as old but the colours are suddenly back in fashion!!!

This is the front of the box

Front of the book itself

and the rest! Charlie is adding his own little letter of thanks to put in the envelope on the last page. In his best handwriting of course!!

Change of plans!

Well I was going to do some gardening and then pop to the shops until I saw this layout on Merly Impressions blog this morning

I just loved the way Ali, from the design team, has used some of the collectables from Kairsercraft's Mr Fox collection.One of the layouts we made at the retreat used the same collection and I had virtually a bag full left over from that.So what's a girl got to do than to forget about the gardening and there was nothing I was in deperate need of from the shops so I got to work and came up with this.

While I'm here I'll just add the ones that I did over the last few days too.

Surprising how much mojo a couple of days at a retreat gives you. I wonder how long it will last!!


Thanks for popping by x
