Sneaky Peak and First of Several End of Year Pressies!!!!!

My daughter has already put her orders in for the end of year, Teacher and Teaching Assistant pressies, for me to make. As she gets older she has much more specific ideas about what she wants.
This first pressie is for her Teaching Assistant, who has been fantastic this year. She has built up Emily's confidence and really helped her through her dyslexia diagnosis.
Nothing would seem quite enough.
I have created a new template, which is quite involved. This is this first variation.

The template is my design, using cardstock from my stash, SU papers, Ribbons, Inks and Brads - the colour combination is Certainly Celery and Old Olive.

This is a bow, that my wonderful SU Mom taught me to do, its a very sophisticated design.


The draw of the box holds a necklace and earring set. Then in the shelf compartment on top. I inserted some paper into two pens, bought from Wilkos - 14p each, they look great and really co-ordinate with the whole set. A finally a notebook to finish things off completely. This is a mini book made using a couple of covered coasters and my Bind-it-All
This is the card I made to compliment the gift.
The image is a new one I purchased from Dies to Die for, The Greeting Farm collection.
Very appropriate for school I think. Coloured in using my Promarkers. I have to say it was quite a simple design to do and I really enjoyed it.

The card was made using a sketch by Tiets, which I love cos they have the measurements on them and it makes them so easy and quick to make but look fantastic.
I hope you like and I'll probably be showing some other combinations to my new Template so make sure you pop back,
Only 400 hits to go before I reveal and release the template.
Have a lovely evening, or whats left of it and I'll see you tomorrow, with another gift set, hopefully.
