Back-to-School with Graphic 45
Many of our G45ers have friends and family heading back-to-school in the past month or next month, so we wanted to share more great ideas from our amazing designers. Danielle Copley and Ginny Nemchak have thoughtful ideas for around the house and for gifts this time of year.
Danielle shares a gorgeous An ABC Primer altered frame to remember her sweet daughter's first day of school.
"My baby girl is starting kindergarten this fall! She attended pre-K last year, but this year is super special because she will be going to school with her three older brothers! I altered this frame to be the perfect spot for the memorable first day when they all attend the same school for the first time! I can’t get enough of this classic ABC Primer Collection!" ~Danielle

Ginny has such a thoughtful gift idea below. We love this treat bag idea!
"I have to say without a doubt my favorite person to see in the morning at my Son’s high school is Karin AKA Cool Safety Mom. She has the most important job of directing traffic so all the kids stay safe. Unfortunately for her..she has to see me with no makeup,my hair pulled up and driving glasses on. She always greets us with a smile on her face even when it’s 30 below and her hair is frozen to her head. I try to bring her cups of coffee to warm her up when I can get my kiddo out the door early. This essentials treat bag created with layers of patterned papers and vintagy images from An ABC Primer. So great for back to school. I filled it up with things she will need like sunblock, lip balm, hand sanitizer and tissues. I hope she will see how much I appreciate all she does for our kids!" ~Ginny
