Happy Easter

This past week was Spring Break and boy did it fly by.  I hope everyone had a joyous celebration. I can't believe it is already April.  We'll be out of school and lounging by the pool in no time. 

Today I have some Easter projects to share.  First up are some chocolate covered Peep bunnies that Sophie made for the treat bags.  This was a fun activity and the kids all loved them.

It's easy to do.  Just put the peeps on a stick, coat with melted white chocolate, and add the confetti eyes and nose.  It did take a while to separate the confetti.  Thank goodness for small hands!  

On to the treat bags.

Last is a basket I made.  I saw the pattern and decided to give it a try.  I had visions of making one for each of the kids but ran out of time (hence the above Easter bags :).

I decorated each side a little differently.  The basket was sturdy and a good size.  I used a 9x9 piece of card stock.

The Summer is over

As I sat down to write this post, I let out a big sigh.  I'm not sure if it's sadness that the summer is over or jubilation that it's over!  Either way, it flew by.  I will miss my not so little one but am looking forward to a normal schedule.  And maybe even some crafting!!

For the fist day back, I made teacher treats.  We have four this year so I am going to have to be budget conscious. 

I used my glassine bags for the first time.  I filled them with a honey bun and pack of instant Starbucks mocha coffee.  I made a simple wrapper from Stampin' Up scrap I had in my stash.  Next I printed the saying on card stock, cut it with my Tag Sale #1 die, added some extra decorations, and wrapped it all up with a bit of Rustic Jute Button Twine.  I hope the teachers all enjoyed.

Reject Blog Hop

So, this morning I took some time to make rounds at my favorite blogs.  I stopped by Damask Love and found out that Amber is hosting a Reject Blog Hop.  To participate you upload you rejected PaperCraft Magazine submission!  Love that idea!!!  Your heart and soul go into making those projects so it is awesome to have a place to show them off.  Way to go Amber!!!

I made a card for the Under the Big Top theme.  The patterned paper is from Imaginisce Animal Cracker line - Under the Big Top and Hot Buttered Popcorn.  I cut pieces and parts from them to make the accents.  I fell in love with this little elephant.

The style is based on the triple tier slider card tutorial I found at Splitcoast.  I have made one of these cards before and you can see it here.  I decided to only make two tiers this time and expand the pull tab size.  The flag post is a crystal topped straight pin.  I think this need something between the tent flaps and the scallop but I couldn't decide what - any suggestions?

I also made some treats to go along with the invite.  The box and mini pail came from the dollar tree.  I filled them with peanuts, candy, and a punch balloon.  Although I wasn't chosen,  I'm sure my family will enjoy the fruits of my labor!
