Back to School Gifts

I really wanted to play in the Die Cuttin Diva's Challenge - Back to school

I had these tins that I picked up at garage sales and thrift shops and I decided to use the little snowman and santa ones, they were cute but not for me.  I made some back to school gifts.

First I spray painted the little tins and then I covered the front with some Imaginisce Geek is Chic papers and elements.  The large apple is cut with my Doodlecharm cricut cartridge.  I also used some Unity stamps and some twine from The Twinery.  This is another entry into the Unity challenge - back to school.  Inside the tins are some smarties - cuz my girls are so smart and a 'pencil' - they are sharp too ;)

A close up of the 'pencils' .  They are a package of rolos, with a Hershey kiss stuck on with a Glue Dot.  I used my PTI woodgrain impression plate to emboss the paper to make the pencil more realistic.  

I am sure my girls will be quite surprised to find these on the first day of school (only if they don't check to far into my facebook posts, since they are my friends).  Although I don't think they read my posts as they are not 'cool' enough for them.  Here is hoping anyway ;)
