CWC Challenge #84, Teacher Appreciation Day

Hi all!  Today the challenge over at CWC is Teacher Appreciation Day.  My daughter has just entered kindergarten this year and has the most AMAZING teacher!  I feel like I really need to do something special for her sweet teacher.  This project is something I have been thinking about for a while.  I bought the base of this little wooden box last year at the Scrapbook Expo and knew then I wanted to use it for a teacher.  I just finally got around to putting it together thanks to this challenge!

I used some old apple paper I had to cover the little box, I just traced where it needed to be and sanded off the edges. I used red for the sides and the bottom.

 The apple and worm are both from Create a Critter, along with the book. I used a Stampin UP letter set (Just Perfect Alphabet) for the teachers name and some Peachy Keen stamps for the face (Boy Mates).

 Here is a side view of the box. I put the apple paper inside as well.

 I then made this cute little card for her by welding two of the apple shapes together on my gypsy. The Thank you stamp is a CTMH stamp from the 4 My Friend set.  I also made 10 more of these cards to stick inside the box so she could have them to use for herself.  

I am hoping to get another project made for her soon, when I am done I'll be sure to post here!  I can't believe school is almost out, didn't we just begin?  Anyway, thanks for stopping by and if you would like to play along, link up your project to http://www.cookingwithcricut.com/.  You may also want to stop by there for inspiration, the design team came up with some pretty neat things!
