Gift for Teacher??

Morning all, just a quick post from me today as I'm home trying to catch up on all the washing, ironing & changing beds etc, then off into my craft room, hopefully. Not bothered that the sun is breaking the pavements, it's crafting for me today.
The girls at PAPERMILL DIRECT asked the DT to make a few little gift idea for children to give their teachers at the end of term......I thought these little bookmarks were a cheap & cheerful gift, although if the teacher was 'incredible' a bottle of Vino could be added, LOL (Got to say at this point, that I had no time for teachers whilst my youngest son Adam was making his way through school....almost every one said he made no effort, and would only be carried through life by his smile, so consequently he got little or no encouragement from them.....HOWEVER....he went on to get a University Degree and now has THREE businesses....I rest my case!) ( no offence to any teachers reading this, maybe Adam just didn't have the right ones)
Anyway, here is what I came up with....... Don't forget to pop over to the Papermill blog and see what else the DT have made, there's some fab inspiration x


All cardstock is from
and this one has been coloured with Pan Pastels and stamped with 2 foliage stamps from
The sentiment is computer generated.


These gorgeous inks are part of the Colour Chemistry range from
the lovely Lynnda at
I LOVE them!
Again, the stamps are a selection from 
LAVINIA


This last one is using 
 inks,
and a lovely selction of stamps, also from
OHS
The ribbon has been coloured to match.

Hope you like these little gifts, let me know what you think.
Catch you all in a couple of days, enjoy the continuing good weather.....
