Many of you know that I'm changing schools this September. I always like to make a good first impression with my staff...especially the secretary and custodians (really, don't they run the school?). I also want to give my grade colleagues a little treat to start the year. I made these cute little treat bags with tags, using the little "Hello" sentiments in this set.
There are 3 cute little phrases you can use with the "hello..." I used each one for each of the tags. The tags are the Labels 11 die and I've punched holes in the scallops for some added interest.
So what's in the bags? Well, some of my favourite treats...hot chocolate, VIA coffee packs, flavoured water packs, a chocolate bar, Sharpies, post-it notes in bright colours, funky clips, stickers, and a little bag of licorice all sorts (I eat those while writing report cards!! LOL). I think I need to make myself one of these bags!!! LOL Okay, how about some more treats? Hop over and see what these Divas have in store today...everyone is pulling out all the stops on this release....I LOVE IT!!!! Be sure to leave a comment for the chance to win these sets and come back tomorrow for the last set spotlight...then it's Friday...PARTY NIGHT!!! Check out the deets HERE on the Forum.

Oh my, Diva! You're definitely doing these sweet stamps some justice!!!!
Love your soft pretty card - that sentiment and font are gorgoeous (love the touch of bling too ;D)
Can you come work at my school, please?! I wish I had super creative sweet colleagues like yourself!!! Just swap the coffee packs for tea bags (or gin for the bad days LOL!) Do I detect Cadbury's choccie too?! Didn't know you guys could get that over there!

Bribery with that office staff is GENIUS! I remember when I first started teaching, someone told me that the first name I wanted to memorize, and the first friend I wanted to make, was the janitor. Always stay on their good side! lol

Great card and fun tags.

Your card in blue and white reminded me of Mother Theresa (she was often pictured in a white gown with blue veil), and it is such a beautiful quote.
Then, the bags!! Can I work at your school?? I'd just come and clean your classroom, and help grade papers, and clean up glue for one of those bags. Makes me want to go get some cute school supplies!
This is crazy amazing! You are so super sweet to give those treat bags. What a thoughtful idea. Good luck at your new school!
I love that sentiment! You have really rocked this release girl!
