fox and friends game

This is another swap I received. I don't know who made this one but it is cool. The base is on chipboard so it is strong, and the white CS is actually 3 or so layers so the balls will stay in the holes!

bookmark card

At Leadership I participated in a Sweet Treats Swap and this is one of the cards I received. This was made by Kay Smith. I love that the red piece is a bookmark and when you pull it out the treats fall out.

This is where the candy falls out (you can see the bookmark)

My Piggy Bank

At Leadership I participated in an organized sweet treats swap. I thought of a fun way to access the treats or in this case the money. :) When you pull the piggy's tail the money falls into the box,

and then you slide the box out to retreive it!

I was sad that the matchbox die was too small for this project so I just made my own box instead. FYI - the Basic Grey Designer Series Paper is from the simply scrappin' kit.

I want to send out a shout out to Jackie Topa for the cute idea to use the sweet treats cups as a piggy bank.

Santa and Reindeer

These are 2 of the cards we made at my sweet treats class last fall. If you have any questions as to how I made these just let me know!

Teacher Treats

Ok I know that Thanksgiving is over but I wanted to show you these adorable turkeys that my boys made for their school teachers. To see mine click here.

This First turkey was made by my 3 1/2 year old and he is totally my favorite. I love his face :) (edit - ok I just read this and I laughed I meant that I love this turkey the best. I don't have a favorite child :) This turkey was made by my 6 year old. It actually looks super close to the ones I made... (sorry it is blurry - I can't take another picture - he gave it to his teacher over a week ago)

I love when I find time to make things with my kids.

Sweet Sunflower

I LOVE the sweet treat cups! This card is one that we made at a class this month. But the ones the ladies made was cuter because we used the sunflower seeds that were still in the shell. Maybe I will make another one someday... To make the flower I just used the scallop 2 die and snipped each petal.

A couple of things I did on this card that are hard to see in the picture:

I sponged Soft Suede ink onto the night and day DSP to blend in with the card a little better.

I was also afraid the greasy sunflower seeds would ruin my card so I punched a circle out of the window sheets and put it behind the sweet treats cup, so far it has worked great!

a little bit of paper...

Do you recognize this box? This is the box the sweet treats cups come in. It starts as an awesome glossy white so I just added some DSP to each side. With a bit of ribbon and a tag it totally transformes it.

Turkey Treats

I LOVE the sweet treats cups, they are SO much fun! Here is a turkey I made, I copied the general idea but a few of the ideas were mine :) I used the to the Nines DSP, Chocolate Chip, More Mustard and Dusty Durango. The turkey feathers are made with the Scallop Die for the Big shot and everything else was punches!Here is a side view, look at all that candy (I picked out all the brown M&M's from the bag :)
