Being a teacher, one of my favorite things is new
back-to-school supplies.
Who can resist the smell of a new box of crayons, right?
When I saw the My Favorite Things Challenge at one of my new favorite blog stops,
The Kraft Journal
I knew I had to create one of these gift totes using the
Simple Stories ele.ment.ary Kit.
First, I have to give a shout-out to my scrap soul sister Lacey Igo for the inspiration and permission to scraplift her amazing project using the
Simple Stories 100 Days of Summer Kit.
Please check out her project HERE.
thanks Lacey!
I used the Simple Stories school-themed kit and some new goodies from The Kraft Outlet to make some welcome back to school gifts for my teacher friends.

I really had so much fun making these gift totes for my teacher friends.
It is always nice to have a little welcome back surprise on your desk the first day of school.
You could make them for your favorite teacher or students returning to school.
thanks for visiting today!
