Petite Places Thank You, Teacher

First off, I have to appologize for not being around much these last few weeks.  My mom has been on a waiting list for a senior living apartment and we thought we had about a year to wait.  The call came last week that an apartment opened up on July 1st!  That means preparing her house to sell and sorting through a lifetime full of memories filling up her basement.  In a way, I'm glad for the short deadline so it won't drag on, but what a whirlwind!

I've been wanting to make one of the PTI Petite Places domes for quite a while now.  I thought it would make a fun teacher gift:


I used PTI's Petite Places school stamps and dies, and Scene It dies.  Papers and Inks are all PTI.  The half pint Ball jar is filled with M&Ms and tied with a ribbon from Hobby Lobby.  The dome is also from Hobby Lobby, it's half of a fillable ornament.  I put a gift card in an envelope made using the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board.  The paper was from the 6x6 paper pad, Scoot, by Echo Park.

Thanks for coming over to visit!  I hope to be around to comment on your wonderful projects soon!  Have a great day!

  12. This is fantabulous! I can't tell you how much I love this! My FIL was the director of the Little Red School House Nature Center in Illinois for 37 years before he retired, and this reminds me of the center. What a wonderful project!
