End of Summer BackpackAugust 23rd, 2008 @ 5:35 am
I have to say I often forget to participate in all of the Demo Challenges on SCS, but when I saw the link for this backpack in the gallery I had to rush to make one myself. Isn’t this the cutest thing? The templates can be found in two parts. I found them here and here. Now I have to say I had to blow the images up to get them to fit on a 8 1/2 X 11 piece of paper so they don’t print true to size. I printed them on copy paper, used Dotto to affix it to my paper and cut from there. I cut outside of the black lines for the backpack and inside of them to make my designer series paper layer.
I made this for Colin to give his teacher next week as a way to say Thank you for an amazing first week of school. There is a little tag you can’t see that hangs off of the back and it has her initial “K” from ABC Upper and the apple from ABC images. I punched that out with the small and large tag punches.
Today we have a soccer game. Tomorrow I have an Open House! I can’t wait to go and stamp with everyone and drool over the new catalog.

Super cute idea! I’m thinking of using this for my Thursday letter. Thursday is my daughter’s first day back to school and every year I write a letter to her on her first day and put it in her breakfast spot so it’s the first thing she sees when she gets up…wouldn’t this backpack be a cute way to deliver it this year?! …we just got back from vacation so I’m going to have to see if I’ll have time to make it – but it sure is cute!
