I love teachers. Especially my children's teachers. I feel such comfort knowing that while they're at school they are not only being taught, but also cared for + loved. Teacher Appreciation Day is this Tuesday May 3rd so I thought a little cookies + milk treat would be a nice way to say thank you.
To make the cookie sleeves I created a template and then traced it onto pretty patterns from Fresh Memories Studio. I'm not a scrapbooker but I loved Fresh Memories designs so much I knew I would find a use for them. For this project all I had to do was print out what patterns I liked and I was good to go. Plus, at only $3 for 12 patterns I couldn't go wrong.
To personalize the sleeves I designed four tags that stacked onto one another. Each with a different message.
To cover the milk carton I cut 4 strips (one for each side) of Fresh Memories pretty paper and secured them with adhesive squares.
You know, with a goof ball like Owen it's a good idea to butter up the teacher.

-Purchase Fresh Memories Studio Lattice in Navy Blue for the same patterns I used in this project, or choose another color combo. They're all lovely.
