Thankful For You!

 About a month ago I ordered some 1"x8" clear treat bags from Jaded Blossom.

I love them so much I just ordered more :) I also bought a ton of candy, I may have gotten a wee bit out of control when it came to candy :) There is candy everywhere in my craft area... heeehee.

So I made these super cute treats for the upcoming holiday using the Jaded Blossom 1"x8" bags filled with Reese's Pieces in fall colors.

The Chipmunks, sentiment and the small acorns on my tag are from the Peachy Keen October 2012 stamp of the month and colored with my Copics.

I made the tag with the acorn from the Cricut Create A Critter cartridge and ran the top piece through the Cuttlebug with the Mesh folder.

The sentiment is stamped in Tim Holtz Ripe Persimmon and cut out using the Spellbinders Nautical Frames and Accents. I finished the tag by using my Crop-A-Dile to punch a small hole in the tag and ran some orange twine to tie it together.

I will be entering this into the Peachy Keen Challenge # 13-41 Anything Goes.

A Dino-Mite Birthday!

Yesterday I went to a Surprise Birthday party for my friend's daughter, she turned the big 10. We all huddled by the door with balloons in our hands, waiting for her to open the door and throw them at her.. SURPRISE!!

She had this huge smile on her face and her eyes wide, in shock walking around in a slight daze.

Good food, friends, family and of course birthday cake = a Dino-Mite birthday party.

She loves dinosaurs so I made this Triceratops card with the Dinosaur Tracks Cricut cartridge.

I made this card the same way as the Happy Piggy Party card, by cutting 2 shadow layers and adhering them together, then cutting all the remaining layers.

I ran some of the layers through my Cuttlebug with the Mesh embossing folder to give him scaly skin. (I forgot to emboss the brown legs.. Oops!)

For the inside of the card I used the first layer and then cut part of the top off so it would fit inside. I used the Dinosaur Party stamp set by Pink Cat Studio for the inside sentiment with some Cottage Ivy Memento Ink.

It was a Dino-Mite birthday filled with lots of love, fun and excitement for a very surprised 10 yr old!
