Back to School with Pink Paislee 47

Hi everyone! Today it's my turn to post on the Pink Paislee blog and the theme of this week's projects is Back to School. I would love for you to stop on by and say hello ~ click HERE. :)

First up I have a gift bag shaped like a backpack that can easily hold a small gift for your student like a pack of gum, mints or even a gift card. What child, of any age, doesn't want $ to spend on new clothing for school and have fresh breath???

Using the template found here ~ click HERE ~ and fun patterned paper from the Declaration collection, I made the darling backpack box / gift bag.

One of the many things I love about Pink Paislee products is the versatility allowing you to mix and match items from multiple collections when creating! The layout shown below features a combination of fun and pretty products from the Declaration collection, the London Market collection, and the Spring Jubilee collection. For the title, I combined the London Market ~ Jumbo Numbers with letters from Wood Shop Alphabets ~ Lumber Yard and Wood Shop Alphabets ~ Timber.

Using a beautiful butterfly Spellbinders Wonderful Wings die, I cut Declaration ~ Block Party and Declaration ~ Firecracker patterned papers to create a butterfly embellishment. I fastened the layers together using a fun Vintage London Market ~ Spool Button and a pearl brad.

I added a die cut flower embellishment using Die-namics Pretty Posies along with a London Market ~ Collage Sheet of paper. To add a little color to the blossom, I rubbed an ink pad around the edges and stitched a button in the center.

Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed my Back to School themed projects as much as I enjoyed creating them! Please head on over to the Pink Paislee blog for further inspiration.

Be Sweet :)
