RILEY1612, Back To School!

Hello, it's time for a Riley and Company Challenge! This weeks challenge is hosted by Jovita, and the challenge is Back To School!

I used School Boy Riley and SchoolGirl Sophie. I coloured them with copics. I think I'll give these to my Niece & Nephew, and their school colours are purple and grey.

I've always loved this rolo pencil idea, and wanted to give it a try, found this tutorial. I did make a couple changes, I used silver cardstock instead of foil, and I scored the yellow piece every 1/2".

eraser - regal rose (or pink) 1" x 3.5"
pencil - yellow 4.5" x 3.5" score every 1/2"
metal ring - silver scardstock 3/8" x 3.5"

Please join us in our challenge, and upload your creation to the Riley and Company Blog. If you upload to any forums please use the keyword RILEY1612. You can find more details on the Riley and Company blog,  there is a randomly drawn winner for each challenge!

Have a Great Day!

Teacher/Classroom Gift!

Hello, sorry this isn't the best picture, but I just wanted to share this jar I made for my Daughter's Teacher & the classroom.

I totally cased this from the awesome Katie on the CDS blog. She always has the best ideas.

This was very inexpensive to make too! I used a canning jar I picked up at the 2nd hand store. The DP is basic grey. The stamps for the tag & the jar are both from the Teacher Treats set from cleardollarstamps.

The sentiment on the jar was stamped onto white, cut out with the nesties label #9 die & then I cut a large piece from brilliant blue & turned it, then I attached it with brads to the dp.

The tag got washed out by the light, but it was stamped onto white, coloured with copics & layered onto an only orange tag.
