Time for school and a treat for everyone!

Can you believe that it is time for another Global monthly video hop? I don't know where the year is going but am excited to restart Preschool this month and the theme is just perfect!  Our September theme is 'Back to school' - what can be more iconic than an apple for the teacher?

I chose to use the Stampin' Up! Harvest Hellos stamps and matching punch - this can also be used for Fall with pumpkins and would make a great set of mini cards and Hallowe'en or Thanksgiving treat bundle. 

The 3 x 3" envelopes allow for a cute set of cards without using too much in the way of supplies and the food grade mini pizza boxes can hold cookies and chocolates too.

I used the very pretty Forever greenery DSP and used the same layout for the cards and box topper; the DSP tied everything together and I think the box is a nice little gift. 

You can also use one of the cards as a topper for a little gift bag for a child returning to school - perhaps with a face mask, candy, new crayons, a gift card for school lunches etc.
