Tropical Treat

How cute are these? I wish so badly that I didn't have to give them away! I just loved how they turned out! This ridiculously cute box is one of the great tutorials that you can purchase from Becky over at Inking Idaho! These 2 boxes were early bird prizes for an activity that was for the women at my church! We are joining together to read the Book of Mormon and I thought it would be darling to put a mini Book of Mormon in here. The girls that won can keep it for themselves to read or give it to a friend with their testimony on the inside!! The dimensions in the tutorial worked perfectly to fit the book!! I added some york peppermint patties, kisses and yummy ghirardelli chocolate on the sides. They were a big hit with the gals! The only complaint was that there weren't more to go around!

More Secret Sister Goodies

Origami Box

Candy Treat Boxes (with the twisty ends)

Here are a couple of the other goodies we made for Kailee's secret sister this week at camp. We called the mom and asked her a few questions about what some of the favorites were. She told us any kind of candy that is not chocolate (which is good becuz it wouldn't have survived in this Texas heat!) and that her favorite colors were blue, peach and pink. So we made the Origami Box and filled it with Jolly Ranchers. The twisty boxes are ones that were shown on the demo side of the Stampin' Up! website. If you are interested in the template just email me and I will share it with you! :) The twisty boxes are filled with Skittles and Dum Dums! I made these boxes before...you can check this post to see a picture of the whole thing.
Have a great evening and great day tomorrow! Thanks for coming by!

2-4-6-8...

...who do we appreciate?...actually what do we appreciate? The new Stampin' Up! catalog!!! I am so excited to put in my order tomorrow of the things I just can't live without, which seems to be a hefty amount! :)
I made these 2-4-6-8 boxes for my Stamp Club girls. I wanted to give them a little something with their new catty. I used my new circle circus set. I love this set!!!! I filled the box with post-it's and a pen to mark up their new catalogs and some chocolates to munch on while they browse! I made them to kinda match the colors on the catalog cover! I think they turned out cute if I do say so myself!! :)
Have a fantastic day! chat at ya later!

A Tote-ally Awesome Tote of my own

I have said it before and I will say it again! Miss Becky is amazing!!! I know you have to have seen these totes floating around out there. She came up with this...I just changed the paper on this one to make it my own. I love her tutorials...they are easy to follow and a super great deal!! I didn't have alot of time to take pictures...so these aren't the best. {sorry} I had to get this in the mail. I decided to leave the clear inserts out of the inside of the box. I filled it with yellow shred and put a gift inside. It's for a special someone...they will see when it gets to them in the mail. :) The front pockets have chocolate and lip gloss in them. For my closure I used a build-a-brad and my scallop oval punch. I also used magnets to close the tote instead of velcro. It works fantastic!
Thanks for coming by! Sorry it's been slow posting over here. We have been so busy that I am just not finding time to sit and stamp just cuz. I have been getting ready for 3 classes I have this weekend and next week. Thanks for being patient and stickin' with me!! :)
Have a super fantabulous day!

A Box full of Goodies

It's 4:00am and I am awake because my crazy daughter who couldn't sleep woke me up playing the Wii. She wasn't being all that loud but her remote gave her away...they like to make noise! I think she has butterflies about her performance today. The first of 5 shows is this morning for the Wizard of Oz.
I wanted to share this fun box I made about a week ago or so. I bought the fabulous tutorial that Becky made! It's worth every penny!! I wanted to make one right away but was limited on my time (see previous paragraph...Wizard of Oz also keeps the mom busy too!) I didn't do any stamping. Instead I broke into my new Loop to Loop Rub-Ons. I love them...I wish they would offer these and the paper from this bundle in the catalog, besides being in the Hostess Set. {sigh} These are just 2 of the 5 cards I made. I also added to the box, York Peppermint Patties, Ghirardelli Chocolates, Hershey Milk Chocolate Sticks with Caramel and decorated address labels for the envelopes that are under the cards. The paper is from the now retired Hostess Bundle. (it wasn't retired when I made the box) I added some 1 inch chocolate ribbon and 2 buttons in the middle to decorate the top of my box.
Ok...I have got to go lay back down and see if I can sleep! I have an hour before me alarm goes off! yikes!

**So many of you asked about my clip art on my baptism cards (a few posts below) The clipart is from a CD I bought 6 or 7 years ago. It's called Primary Partners. I have no idea it's still available but I bet if you look online or at a Dessert Book Store you could find something similar!**
