End of the School Year Gifts

I got my "Create a Critter" Cricuit cartridge around the same time that I was trying to figure out what to make for end of the school year gifts for my son's preschool teachers. I just fell in love with that cartridge from the time I started seeing sneak previews of this cartridge on other blogs. So of course when I finally got it, I just had to start using it!! I decided to make a set of cards for my son's teachers. And then I was trying to figure out how to wrap them up when I stumbled across Joy's Mother's Day gift post and my problem was instantly solved...thanks Joy!! :-)

I decided to add a laminated tag to the totes to add a personalized touch to their gifts
Each of the totes contained 6 (simple) thank you cards and envelopes
The inside of the totes were plain, since I used one sided DP, so I decided to use DP for the the pockets
I can't believe my son is graduating from preschool already...he's going to be starting kindergarten soon!!! (sniff, sniff) Man, they really do grow up SO fast!!

Thank you for stopping by! I hope your week is off to a good start!!

These are really cool gifts! The teacher's will love it! Simple cards? Yeah right! That is a cute cartridge. I think I might just need to get it! Wait, I guess that would mean I should pull my cricut out of the closet first, huh? Have a good week!
