Color Challenge 434

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Yippee Skippee! I got to spend another day in my stamp room! Once I get started I hate to leave but I needed to go get supper started so this gave me a few minutes to get my blog updated.

I popped over to SCS this afternoon to see what the colors were for today's Color Challenge 434.

 I had to play along!

The colors are: Crumb Cake, Gumball Green & Cherry Cobbler

With the dessert option of having Christmas in July! 

I decided to do Christmas because afterall, I do Christmas all year long! I pulled out some Snow Festival DSP which has my colors in and covered a plastic fruit tray that had grapes in. I save these and decorate them for the holidays then add some White Chocolate Snack Mix in a cello bag. This makes a nice little gift for friends, family and neighbors!

 

I used Cherry Cobbler Sweater Trim from last year and made my loopy bow and hot glued an Antique Brad on top. I also used a Snow Festival Tag and added my stamped Merry Christmas sentiment along with some small rhinestones on the snowflakes. I'm pleased with my altered project today and look forward to filling this with yummy treats for the holidays!

Fruit Trays....really?

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Today, I wanted to share something that I think makes a cute gift for the holidays or even any holiday for that matter! When we still lived in Joplin, I started saving these plastic fruit trays that strawberries & grapes come in. I had no idea what to do with them and one time I even used it to package cards in to send back to my old neighbor, Emily. It kept the cards protected from the bouncing around that comes from shipping and because you can decorate them, it made for a cute gift too!

I decided to make a bunch of these in all shapes & sizes for the holiday craft show this year! 

Your probably gonna ask me what I put inside of them. I seen people put cookies, cards and candles in them. I made my White Chocolate Snack mix and placed in a cello bag and put inside. I also put some smell good candles in them too. You could put almost anything inside of them as long as it fits. I was thinking candies or homemade fudge or a variety of different cookies for the holidays! The possibilities are endless!

These are just a few of them for now! I'll share the others later!

All of these are made with Stampin Up stamps & supplies.

Well, that is all for today!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Beautiful Card Container

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Another beautiful day here in MO! :)
I didn't do any stamping today but I wanted to share with you something I made for a card for a friend. Back a few months ago when I first got to Joplin, Kelsey picked up a container at Sam's that was filled with apple slices. Once it was empty I thought to myself that I could probably do something with it. I had thought to make a package of Christmas cards for Miss Emily back home but that never happened. So, a few weeks ago I dug this container out, decorated it and filled it with many cards for Emily. I got the word today that she received her package so I can now go and share it. She loved it!!!

I really love this hobby of mine! :)
Finding new things to alter is something I love to do!

Needless to say, she loved her card container but loved the cards that were in it even more! That makes me very happy! :)
