Back to School Blog Hop

Welcome to the Back to School Blog Hop, brought to you by the fabulous design teams of Made Especially For You and the GoFish Challenge Blog!

These two design teams have joined together to bring you some fun and crafty inspiration to help you get started on those back to school projects! If you've just come across the hop and would like to start at the beginning, please visit Made Especially For You.

My cousin will be starting kindergarten so I made this lollipop holder so he can give it to his teacher. I actually made this using the gypsy by welding different cuts together. 

  The sentiment is from Joy's Life All Around Sentiments! 

 I stamped the sentiment on both the front and the back. Here's the back. 

Here's a close up of the sentiment. 

* I scraplifted the idea from Connie's Crafty Closet, you can see her mini tutorial here* This was my first attempt and I'm thinkin' "not too shabby" hehe
