Projects #25-#27 of 100 (I'm counting each card and box set as only 1)
---------------------------------------
So this year for teacher gifts I decided to make a Teacher Surival Kit! I've seen the idea alot but stumbled on this one on pinterest and decided to try some.
We have 2 kindergarten teachers and 1 second grade teacher. These photos are horrible. I know. I literally took them in the morning last minute as we were scrambling to get out the door. They are crooked and weirdly colored and you can see my shadow. : ) I'm sorry!
Surprisingly, the boxes in my store's jewelry and craft section didn't have customizable inserts! Really? There is a new brand in there now and you can only work with the sections they give you.
As if! : )
So I searched all over the store and found these in the fishing section. Whew. Crisis averted.
I decorated the outside with some scrapbooking supplies. The third box uses a discontinued SU scrapbooking kit and the top two have a bit of that plus some AC paper plus those fun Thickers.
For the insides I filled it with a few necessities I thought they could use including Post-Its, paper clips, push pins, binder clips, hand sanitizer, hand lotion, some energy drink mixes and chocolates!
And here are the matching cards for each box:

This poor card. After I put it together I realized I should have inked the edges. So I took it apart and inked the edges and put it back together. It's barely together and looks like I let the baby play with it! Oops.
And I managed to get these to the teachers only 1 week after school started! One day, I'll have something made by the time school starts.

Holy cow! This is the coolest idea ever! You should make these and sell them (with different names, of course--LOL!) That was so clever of you to use fishing kits. And the contents--great ideas (energy drinks--hee hee). The cards are super cute. I'm really digging that circle flower you made. The papers are fun and cheerful, too. Okay, this is the longest comment ever! :)
Great job Amber! I'm sure the teachers appreciated them!
