Back To School Apples For Miss Sullivan

It's been crazy at our house getting ready for back to school. I really wanted to make a small gift for my son's teacher but it had to be a quick project. So I put this card and basket together it took about 15 minutes total. I filled the basket with my favorite Ghiradelli caramel filled chocolates. I hope she likes them too. I'm very excited for Andrew, his teacher Miss Sullivan is super sweet and this is her first year teaching. This is the first time any of my children get a "newbie" teacher and I'm really curious to see what her teaching style will be like. She just seems so fresh and full of so many great ideas. :)

Materials:
Stamps: Fresh Fruits, Tart And Tangy
Papers: Apricot Appeal, Kiwi Kiss, Real Red, Whisper White, Real Red Prints Pattern DSP
Inks: Real Red, Appricot Appeal, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive
Accessories: Big Shot Baskets & Blooms Die, Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon, Kiwi Kiss Corduroy Button, Real Red Dotted Grosgrain Ribbon, Scallop Edge Punch, Dimensionals, Circle Punches

Too cute, Mel! What's not to love! I'm so in awe of you - using your Fresh Fruits stamp set when it retired so long ago. I feel badly that mine has been so neglected, especially since it was one of my favorites. You're a good example! Such cuteness!
