50 candy wrappers!

Here are my candy wrapper treats for the kids classes....there are 30 students in Summer's class and 20 in Liam's...

Actually I don't think that there are quite 50 there....I need to recount and make a few more. I used the Wicked Fun Specialty DSP for these little cuties. I save out the Flocked paper and will use those for another project so that's why I was short a few candy wrappers....these went together very easily...once I got the hang of it! I cut them all out and then put the together while watching TV the other night. I'm thinking that I will stamp a Spooky greeting on them too. So not quite done but definately ahead of schedule!

I worked on a few Christmas card today while my Mom was here for a visit. Then she was telling me how she has to create a display at work in a display case and they can win a prize for the best display case...it's for a gift they are giving away....a camera. She she was brain-storming how to make a carmera from a box. So as she's thinking out loud how to do this I got out the Big Shot Box #2 XL die and ran thru a piece of Basic Grey CS and folded it up, then I punched some circles and stuff....then I showed her what I had made and she said "that will do just perfectly!". Then I let her leave without taking a picture of it...silly me!

I am going to Stampin' Up!'s Regional Seminar in Hamilton on Saturday...I got to thinkning today that I should make up some cards to swap....I know leaving it kinda late. But this one card I made up today would be really quick and simple. I was thinking of using it for a Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack.

So maybe tonight I'll make a few. Last night I ended up resting on the couch after the kids went to bed...boy, they sure wear me out. By the time I get them to bed I'm beat. If I sit down on the couch then I'm done.

You know that feeling don't ya!

See you tomorrow!

Halloween treats!

I love making little Halloween treat bags for Liam's classmates. Well, that's if I remember. Let me explain. Last year I was working alot of hours at my part time job and on the Thursday night when I got home from work I remembered that he needed to have these treat bags for school the next morning. Halloween was on the Saturday night and I for some reason I was thinking that I had another day to get the treat bags ready. So at 10 pm I went down to my studio to make 25 of them. I made these cute little tags and Top Note die bag toppers....then at 11pm I went to the cupboard to get the treats.....and we had none! Jon hadn't gotten any with groceries. So now what? I was so tired. I did consider that the Shoppers's Drug Mart was open 24 hrs and it is just around the corner....oh, I was so tired. So the tired me won. I just could bring myself to go out and get the goodies. I figured he would be getting a ton of goodies at school already and don't they always get too much candy at Halloween anyway. Well, those bag toppers and tags...I still have them. They will come in handy for this year! As you know this will be Summer's first year of school...so I'm thinking that I'm half way there for this years Halloween treats! (Liam never even knew about them...so he was never dissappointed.)

This year we have a new Big Shot Die called the candy wrapper (Holiday Mini) and this die will make "making" the treats bage so much easier!!! Here are a couple I made last week....

I love these little guys!!! I used the Wicked Fun Specialty DSP from the main catalogue. So I will have to make 28 of them for Summer's class. And buy treats to go in these and LIAM's!!!

This one is a little Halloween Gift bag I made too. I was just playing....

Kinda fun, eh!

I received an special bow from Mr. Brown yesterday! A box of ribbons and die storage boxes! The reason why it is so special is because it was $200 of FREE product! I promoted to Consellor with SU last month and I earned this special product bonus as a reward for my promotion! I love ribbon! So I ordered 10 spools of different kinds and colours of ribbon and two of those new die storage boxes in the main catalogue! I love things that help keep me organized! The small die storage box hold 57 sizzlits and embosslits! The largest one holds 10 XL dies or 20 L dies. And they are soooooo nice to look at...chocolate coloured material covering the boxes with label holders! I'm going to go fill them!!

Have a nice day!
