So the first piece in this puzzle was the altered tin container that I got for a Queen swap some time ago... It reminded me how much I LOVE to alter things! :)
Then I made these little notecard thingies using ANCIENT lined paper from my Creative Memories days (I KNOW... I hoard things FOR EVER!!). I cut up one of the Bo Bunny sheets and mounted 'em to make 'em look modernized...
And then there's the altered composition notebook (again, one of my all time favorite things to alter!!)
And the altered memo notebook thingie (I went to town with the ribbons on the edge...)
And THEN I altered some pens with flower tops and glimmer mist
And a laminated bookmark to round the whole gift out.
I have to say, being broke has reawakened my crafty side, lol... Serina definitely felt the love, and although I would've preferred shopping for NEW stuff, using stuff from my super old stash was nice too! :) I definitely think I'll be making similar sets as time goes on cause I think overall I spent like six dollars on the whole gift... Not bad on my budget! :)The gift pack was made for:
- The Design Dollies color challenge (Black, White, Pink, Blue)
- Kenny K's challenge this week is music (I chose Download Diva cause she's listening to her Ipod, which is what Serina ALWAYS does these days!) :)
- Daisy Doodles has an Anything Goes Digi challenge
- The theme for the Pixie Cottage is "Back to School" (which this giftie was ALL about Serina going back to school and using it there!)
- AND Paper, Scissors, Rocks ALSO had a "Back to School" theme to play along with!
So there you have it bloggers... We are in full swing with Back to School preparations now, and I am VERY excited to be returning to the classroom next week... Melanie starts on Wednesday so I'm hoping to be able to scrap a back to school page for her before the weekend is over! Happy scrapping to YOU! :)

Wow this is just gorgeous, and lol had to laugh re: the broke comment, it definately does bring out a creative side in us all, and I think that is a good thing, and if you hadn't kept all those CM things you wouldn't have been able to complete this adorable gift set. I love it. Melxx
