A little Easter treat

 If you have seen some of my posts over time you won't be surprised I am posting some little goodies that I made for my Daughters youth group leaders. I love to make a small treat for them for most holidays to let them know I really appreciate all of the love and time they give to our kids.
   I used an Accucut die for these little cuties.I mixed up the cover colors with the bottoms as well as the bows to really give they a soft pastel Easter palette. The bow is cut using a My Favorite Things die, and the tiny bunny's are Amuse die's.  I die cut the bunny's in brown to make them look like chocolate.
    I hope you have a Blessed Easter with your family.

Diet Birthday Cake for Mom's 75th Birthday

    I saw the color challenge over at My Favorite Things blog  and thought of my Mom. She loves these bright  beautiful colors. The creating began and this is what I ended up with.
    I die cut the cake slice box's with Accucut die's  in 2 sizes from a pretty pearl card stock. I made the flower and the flourishes with MFT die's. I added a bit of glitter pen by Viva on the scrolls and numbers to add a bit of bling. I "diet" cake not calories in this cake only fun and lots of love.
     I pray I have many more Birthdays to celebrate with my Mom over the years!
    Thanks for stopping and checking out my "diet" Birthday cake.

A crunchy,tasty thank you fall treat wrapped up in warm fall colors

    I finished up some fun thank you gifts for the youth group leaders that my daughter is working with this year.I had bought the plaid paper at Tuesday Morning for a really good price. I used my fry box die from Accucut to cut them out. I stamped some leaves and Acorns with some old TAC stamps and colored with water color pencils and then cut them out and popped them on with foam tape just under the raffi bows I tied around the box.
   A friend had told me about a great pumpkin pie spice popcorn recipe.I made 2 batches ( so good) and then bagged it up and put it in the box's. ( Hint put the bag in the box and then fill it, works much better that way) The recipe can be found on pinterest just put in pumpkin pie spice popcorn. or caramel corn and it should come up with several.
  I hope this inspires you to make some goodies for the special people in your lives.
  Thanks for stopping.

Snowflake gift box in Blue

   I die cut the box with an accucut die and then stamped it with Momento ink in various shades of blue and grey ink. I used Raisin Boat snow flake stamps from Sparkle and Splendor  I added a bow with a jingle bell to finish it off, as well as some glitter pen to add some sparkle. My daughter used these to give her girl friends some goodies for Christmas.
   I hope you have a Blessed Christmas.

More Elf fun for you

I used a Martha Steward snow flake border punch for on the side and added some fun buttons to pull the colors out from the stripe paper.

I used copics to color and some pretty red gingham ribbon as an accent.

I used a tall gable favor box that I cut with and Accucut die and stamped the holly on the box with green ink and colored in the berry's with a red marker.The stamped image I die cut to just focus in on the elf and deer head to fit on the box.

 I have some more elf fun for you today. I just love these guys! Elves on Shelves. The stamps are from the girls over at Raisin Boat Stamps. I used Copic Markers to color them.
