This month we are challenged to create something that could be given to a teacher as a year end / thank you gift. How about a nicely wrapped journal or book?

It works with dies and embossing folders that are 4" or smaller. This is good for most of my die-cutting needs, i.e. the dies I used for this...

Sentiment from Holiday Occasions Set by Joy's Life. It fits perfectly in the Photo Captions Large Punch by EK Success :) Love my sentiments fit into my punches:) Do you know that the hearts in...
