Cricut Crafty Challenge #1- Back to School


Welcome Everyone to the Cricut Crafty Challenge day!
This is Becka from Creations With Becka and I am so excited to share the very first Cricut Crafty Challenge with you all today.
This time of year is all about getting the kids back to school, so this month's challenge is to make a Back to School gift, layout, card etc.
I made this awesome supply basket to give to my son's teacher on the first day of school. He started 3rd grade this year and has two new teachers. So I thought we would welcome them with this gift
 
 
 

 

 For my project, I  first wrapped the basket with yellow paper. I cut and added "photo mats" for the backgrounds of the glue, pencil and crayon. Then I pieced together and added all of the cricut cuts. The finishing touches were the ribbon and the buttons and of course some stickles.
