Craft Show Treats

I am working on a Spring craft show for this month and I found these Starburst Jellybeans in Ice Cream Flavors.  This one is Orange Sherbert and I separated a few of them out and put them into one of the Tiny Clear boxes and decorated with a tag.  While this one is for Easter, I think I will do some  and use the Tasty Treats stamp set for the tags as well.  thanks for stopping by!

Tea Time

I shared in my last post that I was working on a Meet and Greet Tea for a new baby, and I finished it up yesterday.  I made fifty of these bookmarks.

This photographed light but I was in a rush to get them packed up before they were picked up so I didn't take the time to photograph again.  I used Blushing Bride on the Pink Pirouette card stock and IRL it looks dark enough.

I did twenty-five of these for the little girls.

And another 25 of these were for the little boys.  I also did fifty bottles of bubbles which I wrapped in various patterns of  Pink DSP and added a tea pot to them as well..  I didn't get these photographed since my customer showed up to get them just as I was packing them up.  I like doing bulk but not if they want it quick, I usually won't take the job if they don't book it far enough in advance to allow me to have to rush.  Thanks for stopping by!

Tea for Fifty

I met a very interesting lady this week,  she came in to order some favors for a Meet and Greet  Tea for her new grand baby.  She is a librarian so she is going with a children's book theme and wanted bookmarks as the favors.  This one is for the adults, she is decorating with some beautiful teapots and cups and saucers so I used the retired Cups and Kettle Framelits for the teapot.  I made 50 of these but this is just one of the four designs that I am making, I will show you the rest of them tomorrow, thanks for stopping by!

Santa's On His Way

I have been working on craft shows the past week and one thing that always sells good is tags.  I made several of each version.

The snowman in this one is retired but is one of my favorites.  The sentiments are from Snow Place.


We have had the best long weekend....the kids have gotten along for the most part!   We went to the Homecoming parade on Thursday and then Sadie was in another parade on Saturday.  I took the littles to a fair on Saturday as well.  They love fair food....string french fries, funnel cakes, lemon shake up, fried oreos....and they ate their little tummies full.  When we were on the way home Dalton asked,  "when do we get another unhealthy day?''.  When I asked what he meant,  he said a day when we get to eat unhealthy!  I had made an appointment to get their pictures made but the photographer didn't show up so I made a few myself.  Couldn't have been more fun except Shelby didn't get in the pictures,.

Miss Ava, being all serious.

Dalton finally cooperating.

Beautiful Sadie, always smiling!

Sadie is so good with the two littles, she can get them to do a lot more than I can.  Wish I had some of Shelby, maybe i will catch her in a better mood soon.  I guess now that she is 17, she doesn't want to hang out with us as much.  Love my kiddos!

Decorative Cookie Boxes

I found these Decorative Window Gift Boxes when I was cleaning out a drawer so I decorated them.  I plan on using them for cookies for my neighbors at Christmas.  I also found this cute stamp set(retired in 2000!) and it was perfect for a tag.

The tags were left over from a Paper Pumpkin kit.

Thanks for stopping by!

Pot o' Gold

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!  I made a similar card a couple weeks ago with an owl.  I had some rainbows left over so made this card with the pot of gold.  I usually don't do much other than wear green for St. Patrick's Day but this year I have had requests for favors.

These sold out early at my craft show.  I found these gumballs at Walmart and they fit perfectly in the 1x8 cellophane bags.

These were a hit as well, I came home with one.  Thanks for stopping by!

Love You to the Moon

Good Sunday morning!  I played with the  new Scalloped Punch yesterday and made some Valentine treats.  The DSP is from the Fresh Prints stack.  I cut my  Whisper White paper 2 x 8 1/2, punched both ends,  scored at 4 and 4 1/2, folded, and then tied together with Silver Baker's Twine.  I put a peppermint patty in but I think any small candy would fit.

These were very quick and are perfect for giving a little something, Valentine season is as busy for me as Christmas so I love this and you will probably see more with this punch.  Gotta run, time to get the kids up for church.  Thanks for stopping by!

Color Me Christmas

Good Monday morning!  Today I have some tags to share using the stamp set Color Me Christmas from the Holiday Mini catalog.  I have a box that I store all the leftover die cuts and pieces from classes and ever so often I pull it out and put all the scraps to good use.  I also have my biggest craft show of the year coming up and tags are always a good selling item.  So I made a few...

 

 

Did you get a chance to be outside this weekend.  We had beautiful Fall weather and I snapped a few photos of the kiddos.  Of course Shelby wouldn't participate, she is 15 now and much to grown up to take "silly photos".

The two little ones, Ava and Dalton, refused to put on clothes all weekend except when we went to church.  Thanks for stopping by!

Owl Tag

Good afternoon!  I had a couple requests from yesterdays post to show a close up of the tag that goes with the owl party.  So, here it is!

When in Doubt ...Dance!

Good morning!  Today I have the card I made for my Sadie, the DSP is retired as well as the stamp set but she doesn't mind.  We had dress rehearsal last night and tonight is the real thing.  I think I am almost ready, I have her a gift(a charm bracelet) and still have to get flowers.  The girl's grandparents are here from Alabama, it's rare that they can get to be part of their activities but this time they get to see both girls in something. 

This is the tag I made for her gift bag.

 Here's a photo of Sadie waiting to dance last night.

This was after the dance.  Sadie is a very tall girl for her age and all the kids in her group are so much shorter, you can barely see the little girl sitting behind her and she is up on her knees!

Teacher Appreciation

Good afternoon!  It's time to start making teacher appreciation gifts as the school year is winding down.  I love decorating paint cans and filling them an assortment of goodies.  For this one I used Storytime DSP , a cute tag, and some ribbon.

Here is what the top and the tag looks like.  Hope Sadie's teacher likes it.  Thanks for stopping by!

Snow Festival

 

Good Monday morning!  Have you paid close attention to the Snow Festival DSP in the Holiday Mini?  I hadn't and to be honest it was not one that really appealed to me but I pulled it out determined to make something.  There is one sheet that is divided into 12 blocks with a different scene on each block so I cut it all apart and made some tags and they turned out so cute.  On the back of each one I added a 3x3 piece of card stock and stamped To and From.

 

 

I also made this very CAS Christmas card.  I have  my biggest craft show of the year coming up in November so I made lots of these.  Thanks for stopping by!
