Dies R Us #152 ~ Back to School

 Hello crafting friends and welcome to a new challenge at Dies R Us.

Challenge # 152 ~ Back to School

With the uncertainty of sending children to school amidst this pandemic, my daughter decided to homeschool my little grandchildren.  My little Emma, will be starting 1st grade and my little Derek will start Pre-K3. At the beginning of every school year, I always put a little treat together for the kiddos when returning to school, so this is what I came up with this year.

I used a Silhouette design to make the box. To decorate the belly bands, I used the  School Supplies die set from Cheery Lynn Designs and the Globe set of dies from ScrapMan dies.

Inside each box, I placed 12 pencils for their school work. Normally, we also all go out for ice cream the day before school starts, but this year, we'll have to bring the ice cream home.  The important thing here, is that there will be ice cream 😀

Here is a close up of my granddaughter's box.

I used the glue bottle, ABC, scissors, ruler and pencil from School Supplies die set.

The books and the Fall leaves are from the Globe die set.

 For my grandson's box, I used the glue, pencils, scissors, ABC and ruler from the School Supplies die set and the Fall leaves from the Globe die set.

Another look at Emma's box - her favourite colours are pink and purple, so pink pencils it is.

And another look at Derek's box. He likes blue and green, so this was perfect.

I got lucky that I found a large box of pencils at the school supply section at Walmart that had all these as well as a few purple ones. The purple ones, Emma can use when she comes to visit grandma. The little guy has his own little set that has cars on it.  Grandma has to get this right! 😀

Not a long list of supplies, but I have linked each to the DRU store for your convenience.
