Apple Basket

My sister-in-law was telling me that it was Teacher Appreciation last week.  I thought she was giving me a hint that she was going to be getting me a little present (I do teach my kids at home).  Nope, she was telling me because her son has 3 daycare teachers.  It was a hint, just not one that I would benefit.  So that set me to make a cute gift for Logan’s teachers.Boss Kut has some really cute school designs.  When I saw the apple I just knew I had to transform it into a gift basket.  So I cut out two of the apples out for the front and back.  For the basket part, I used my heart basket as a template.  The heart shaped bag file can be found on my Die-Cut-O-Rama page and adapted to make this basket.  Just use the apple instead of the heart.  Here’s how it turned out.

Knowing that she probably expected me to make a card, I cheaped out and just made a quick tag with another Boss Kut file.  I used the Victorian Tag with a shadow for the patterned cardstock.  It has an adorable alphabet on it that I was hoping would show.  It doesn’t but that’s OK because I think it would have made the tag too big.  The bag size is perfect for the three Bath & Body Works hand sanitizers that she purchased for his teachers.  All in all, I think it turned out mighty adorable.  What do you think?  Like it?  Leave me a comment or two letting me know how you fell about it.  I heart comments and they make me realize I am not talking to myself.  ^__^
