An Apple For Teacher

Hey! Have you entered my giveaway for Photo Editing Software? How about the one for Business Cards? Get to it Girl (or Guy)!


Gettin' Crafty with it over here! School's out for Con-Man so that means long hot summer in a town with nothing to do end of the school year teacher gifts! I wanted to give Con-Man's teachers something useful and of course teacher related. While perusing the internet I came across this:




This was a fun project, it brought back memories of stamping potatoes and celery as a child. This was a quick easy craft as well and I had all the supplies on hand except for the canvas tote bags. I found them at Walmart for $6 for a pack of 3. 



All I did was cut the apple in half, brush on some paint and stamp away. 



I tried to apply even pressure all around but my stamped apples kept turning out like this:


Which I choose to fill in but you could leave it as is; depends on the look your going for. Con-Man was able to help me out with this project. (Until he got bored 4 stamps in and ran off to play with cars.) He did proudly tell his teachers he helped out and that he "Made that."


About half way through I had this:


Which I thought about leaving but decided to stamp the rest of the bag.



And what teacher gift would be complete without some goodies inside? I made these awesome Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars I saw on Pinterest. Here's my awful IPhone pic that I apparently took in way to much of a hurry:


And here's what they really look like in all their sugary goodness:


It's a good thing I was giving these away because I easily could have eaten the whole batch on my own. 

What are your summer plans for keeping kiddos busy now that school's out?

I loved to do potato stamping! What a great variation. I think I need a couple to bring to the Farmer's Market. Thanks for sharing on Tout It Tuesday!

Great project. Easy too! Those cheesecake bars look wonderful. I do the same thing with my phone camera. No matter how still and careful I think I am I'm always shaking.
