Back to School Blog Hop!

A special thank you to Michelle: http://queenofmycraftroom.blogspot.com/ for hosting this blog hop!  If you arrived here first, please go to Michelle's site to view all the wonderful projects!  If you arrived from Wendy http://cricutyourclassroom.com/  then, you are in the right spot! 

Welcome to the Back to School Blog Hop!



Photobucket

School does not start here until September but, I guess for some it is soon across the nation.  I hope this hop helps to get you geared up and motivated for Back to School! 

I made a great project for a gift for the teacher or even for a home office unless of course your child wants it for school.  I picked up the new Graphic 45 stack from CHA in Chicago Summer Show 2011 just a few weeks ago.  This stack is not even out yet but, here is a taste of an ABC primer paper stack.
Using the Xyron permanent glue, I glued the paper strips.









I adhered it to the clear pencil case on the bottom...









And the top.









I added some embellishments and layered the books and girl separately. They were on an abc primer paper stack by Graphic 45.









Here is a close up.









Recipe:

Pencil case
Industrial chic charm
Metal button
