An Apple a Day….
Thank God for Mother In Laws who put children to bed!! That means I can pop on here and write a quick post with the pictures of the Teachers Gift that I made. Now I totally got the idea off of the net, however, I changed the measurements to suit my own notepad etc. Very easy to do and you could whip up quite a few of these for Teacher Gifts, Christmas Gifts etc etc. It’s a little note book / compendium. Below you can see the front cover.
The next picture is the inside view. I used the DSP to cut the cute little apples out of and also stamped an apple on each page of the notebook. I used a mini calendar for 2009 and decorated a jumbo paperclip with scallop circles. I used the outline Alphabet stamped on the Summer Picnic DSP for the Teachers initial. The post-it notes are cut down to size using my big cutter. I just fiddled with it all until it fitted! I used my scissors to carefully snip out a small slit on either fold so that I could thread my ribbon through and use it to hold the pen in place.
THis is just a closeup of the little bookmark paperclip. Very easy but a wee bit cute!
So there you have it. A very quick and easy teacher / Christmas etc gift!! If you would like my measurements, please email me (madonna@madonnadunn.com.au).
Don’t forget to enter in my blog candy from the post below!! See you all next week!!
Happy Stamping!!!

I’m a teacher and think it would be a gorgeous gift to receive! Where do you get the mini calendars. They’ve popped up on a few sites but where can you purchase them or do ppl make them on their computer??? I’d love the measurements too please!! Thanks Madonna.
