Teacher Appreciation

This is something I made as a sample for Teacher Appreciation at my kid's school. I like to do a sample first to see what works and what doesn't. I always learn so much the first time through doing something new like this. I like the idea of a divided box for pencils or stamping stuff. It was made for a Splitcoast Challenge for teacher gifts. Simple and easy with no stamping but I used a scrapbook kit called, Friends. I used the cropodile to make the holes to put ribbon through. I put a coaster on the bottom using three holes and ribbon to hold it to the bottom of the box. I will make some changes, but generally like how this turned out. I liked the effect of the paper on both sides of the dividers too better than plain dividers like I've seen on SCS before. I am amazed at how pretty this paper is. I don't think the Stampin' Up papers look as good in the catalogs. They look so beautiful in real life. Wish there were a better way to show them in catalogs. I don't think the catalogs do them justice.
