Back To School Notes and Treats

My kids are heading back to school on Thursday and so I made these little note cards and treats to stick in their backpacks and lunch boxes. Technically my kids may be a little old for love notes in their lunch box, but I've done it for so long if I forgot a year, they would tell me when they got home. :)

The notes are simply made with a piece of 3 by 6 Basic White cardstock folded in half. I added a piece of Designer Series paper from the Delightfully Eclectic pack, cut 2 3/4 by 2 3/4.

I stamped the Pencil in Memento Black ink, and colored with Stampin' Blends. The colors I choose are Moody Mauve, Wild Wheat, Pretty Peacock, Crumb Cake, and Black. I cut out the pencil and heart with my paper snips and added them to my card.

The treats are Mini Kind Bars (granola bars). I cut a piece of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper at 4 1/4 by 3 and wrapped it around my Kind Bar, using Tear and Tape to attach the ends together.

I then colored the pencil and heart, cut them out and added them to the bars. On the back I added a small scrap of Basic White, 2 3/4 by 1 inch, to write a little note.
