Holiday Weekend and a Little Treat Box (5 days late!)

Some how this didn't go out on Friday (I had the date listed wrong in the scheduler - YIKES)

Happy FRIDAY! I don't know about you, but I am so glad today if Friday AND a long holiday weekend. Between the kids going back to school, supplies, homework, and soccer practices, this mama is WIPED OUT! I am gratefully looking forward to an opportunity to just relax. I feel like I haven't seen my husband or sat down to a family meal in over a week! I miss him! Yuck - I got all mushy on you - sorry.

So, onto today's project. I wanted to give the kids a little something special today for making it through the first week back to school. I didn't want it too big, because I don't believe in sending my kids to school with unhealthy snacks, but I thought a "little" treat today was necessary.

I used the Cherry on Top DSP and the Barnyard Babies Stamp Set again for the sentiment - "Hogs and Kisses" which I thought was very fitting since the little box contains Hershey "KISSES," he he (sometimes I just crack myself up). The box is a quick little project that only takes a 1/4 of a sheet paper so you can 4 of these little cuties from one sheet of cardstock. Here is a little video I made showing you how to create these.

I hope you all have a relaxing and enjoyable weekend! I will be back next week with another set of new projects.

Thanks,

Cindy

December Catchup

Hey Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, as usual, this month got away from me. I can't believe the last time I posted was on December 1st! Anyway, so I have been very busy to say the least. I was still making videos, but neglected to post them here on the blog and on my facebook page. If you want to check them out, check out my YouTube Channel. I have provided a link for one of them below but you can access all of them on my channel:

Here are some pictures for the projects that I hadn't posted (videos are on YouTube):

I am sorry I got so behind, and then got sick and trying to catch up has taken me a while. Hopefully things are getting back to normal. I will also be posting today details and videos for 2 projects I have created this week, and then Friday, I will have another post for you as well.

Fun Friday...Halloween Treat Holders and Crafting with Kids

Happy Friday! As promised, I have a 3D project for you. It has been a crazy week around here. Kids go back to school on Tuesday and we have been getting ready this week. Can I tell you if I don't see the mall for another 6 months it will be too soon. However, with the holiday's around the corner I know I won't be so lucky. Anyway, the holiday catalog went live yesterday and I am so excited that these products are now available for everyone. This catalog has to be one of my favorites. I am not a huge Halloween fan, but I love Thanksgiving and Christmas. So my first instinct was to start creating Christmas projects (I will admit, I did create a Christmas project first, but I won't post it until later). I am stepping out of my comfort zone and starting with Halloween.

As I was trying to decide what to do with this box (I will have an upcoming video on how to create this box), my son was hovering asking if he could help. I don't usually craft while they are around for many reasons, but typically I need to be undisturbed and free to create without having to tend to the typical mommy issues. Anyway, rather than sending him away, I thought it would be nice to let him sit with me and help. So while my samples might have a few smudges or be a little off center, it is a memory with my son that we will both have for years to come.

Stampin'Up Fall Fest Candy Popper

Stampin'Up! Fall Fest Goodie Box

Stampin'Up Fall Fest Stamp Set

The box opens like a pizza box and measures 3 3/4 x 3 x 1.5. Nice size box for a handful of goodies. The candy popper was made with the envelope punch board and measures 6 x 1. Both use the Flower Pot DSP and the pumpkins from the new Fall Fest Stamp Set which I stamped in Pumpkin Pie and Mossy Meadow Ink. The Sentiment is from the Delightful Dozen Stamp Set.

I hope you will give these a try, all the supplies I used are listed below and can be ordered by clicking on the images. Thanks for stopping by and hope you come again. Until next time...
