Hi,
I've been busy the past two weeks preparing and participating in Craft Fairs. At the one for this Saturday, I've made several little 'do-dads' (made up name when I don't know exactly what to name something :)). These items would make perfect stocking stuffers or for one of those last minute 'I didn't really intend to get you anything, but I saw this cute...that I couldn't resist' moments!
This 'Snowman Poop' was made with a simple card stock topper (Ballet Blue), bag with mini marshmallows, and a tag (Deer Friends Stamp Set, scallop circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, Rose Red and Whisper White card stock). I cannot take credit for the poem, there are several versions, but I thought this one was cute! ENJOY!
Take care,
Tonja
Hi,
I like to make special occasion treats for my children's classes....if I have time :).
For Halloween this year, I made SIXTY of these Spiders! (with help from hubby and daughter) The 'spider' is made using the scallop circle and the photo corner punches...eyes and nose are the 1/2" circle punch and the pupils are drawn in with the Black Journaler. I'm sorry I did not get a photo of the ones drawn in by my hubby, they were quite something, some with eyes closed...some looking to the left...some looking to the right....some crossed eyed...he was enjoying himself!
The 'treat' was a Peppermint Pattie placed between each scallop circle. I used Starburst for those with allergies. The scalloped spider idea is from Lisa Freeman's BLOG -- she's quite creative :).
I was happy to see that when my kids came home, they had eaten the candy, but had saved the spider! :)
Have a great day!
Take care,
Tonja
Hi!
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of hosting a stamping class for a Daisy Troop -- too cute! As always, I wish that I had their energy...especially on a Friday evening :).
They each made 'Thankful' cards using the 'Thoroughly Thankful' Stamp Set.
What a wonderful gift!
Take Care,
Tonja
