My 2014 Hershey Candy Bar Wrappers

Hello & Happy Friday!

Tis the season to be jolly!

Today I am sharing all my candy bars that I made this year! To be truthfully honest, there are some that I completely forgot to take pictures of. I made close to 100 of these this year! That's ALOT but they make the cutest little stocking stuffers!

I even made some with the Get Your Santa On stamp set and they were too cute!

The penguin is from Sweet N Sassy Stamps.

The snowflakes are from last years Stampin Up's Festive Flurries Stamp Set.

Sentiments are from PaperTreyInk.


Directions for the Candy Bar Wrappers:

Cut cardstock at 6 3/4 X 6.
With the 6" side facing you on the paper cutter you want to score at 2 3/4 and again at 5 1/2.
Take your bone folder and give the scores a nice crease. Glue the bottom & side with a heavy duty adhesive. Take a paper crimper and crimp the bottom that you glued. That also helps to keep it glued together. The top of the candy bar wrapper you want to use a 1 1/2" Circle Punch. Punch only a half moon circle which is half way down, do not punch the whole circle, just half. Then decorate and have fun!
These make a cute little gift at anytime of the year!


Any questions please shoot me an email.

Well, that is all for me today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day! 

Happy Holidays!

Merry Monday Challenge Week #48

Hello & Happy Monday!

Time for another Merry Monday Challenge from Lesley at Always Playing With Paper! This week she gave us a color challenge and I love my card but I have to say I struggled a bit!

Here are the colors and my card....

I truely think it was the Pumpkin Pie color that kept throwing me off. It's just not a Christmas color. I went looking & looking thru my million & one stamps then it hit me to use this sweet little penguin from Sweet n Sassy Stamps. I was able to get all 3 colors within this one little image. I added the sentiment and some Pumpkin Pie 1/8 Taffeta Ribbon and called it done. Did anyone else struggle with these colors?

Merry Monday Challenge Week #48 Card:

Stamps: Sweet n Sassy Stamps, Sentiment from Micheal's $1 Stamp

Ink: Memento Black, Copic Markers

Cardstock: Neenah White, Basic Gray

Accessories: SU Snow Burst EF, Pumpkin Pie 1/8 Taffeta Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Pen, Glitter, Dimensionals, Liquid Mono Multi, 2 Sided Tape

Well, that is all for me today!

It was a late nite last night with the Super Bowl and I didn't get to bed till about 1 AM. I overslept this morning that's why the late blog update this morning but happy the Ravens won! WooHoo!

Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jelly Time!

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!

We woke up today to a snowy winter wonderland. It's so pretty to look out onto the hillside behind our house. The snow paints such a pretty picture! We had about 2 inches and already our road has been plowed and Shawn shoveled the driveway. The sun is shining brightly but there are still flurries flying around. Calling for more snow today and tomorrow but nothing big.

So, as i'm finishing up laundry today, I popped downstairs in between loads and got inky with my new Sweet n Sassy stamp set called You & Me! I was at L&L Stamps yesterday and this set + 2 others grabbed my eye but this one made it's way home with me. Hope you like my card....

I also got this designer paper there as well but I can't remember at the moment who makes it. As I was making this card the song, Peanut Butter Jelly Time kept going thru my mind! LOL My sandwich is Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jelly today!

Our Creative Corner Challenge

Hello & Happy Saturday!!

Hope your weekend is going well!
I'm feeling alittle better today and was out & about with hubby doing some shopping. First thing on our agenda is getting a new riding mower for the huge yard we have now. We had no such luck today in finding one but tomorrow some stores will be having sales on them so we'll head back out then and hopefully we won't come home empty handed!

So, today over at the Our Creative Corner Blog, Wendy Janson is the hostess and she challenged us to use either pumpkins on our card or pumpkin cardstock, I thought about this all day and was tempted to make a punched pumpkin but then I realized that I had this adorable pumpkin shaped ribbon that I picked up on my last trip to L&L Stamps! Love that place!
Anyways, take a look at my cards....

Featuring Sweet n Sassy's Rhubarb Bear

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Hope your day went well! It was a gorgeous day here in PA today! I think we hit 70 degrees and it was so nice to hang laundry out and have the windows wide open! Certainly good for airing out all of Shawn's cold germs! LOL Fluffy & I spent a good part of the day outside in the backyard just taking in the sunshine. Hard to believe that a week and a half a ago we had 9 inches of snow in that same backyard! Crazy, I know, but home is home and i'm so thankful to be here again!

After pulling myself in from the outside I went down to my Stamp Cave as i'm nicknaming it! Men can have men caves so why can't I have a stamp cave??!! Anyways, I had a few more Candy Bar Wrappers to make for the upcoming craft show and wanted to use this new set from Sweet n Sassy Stamps on them.
I think they are too cute!!

Of course the one with Rhubarb holding the gingerbread is my absolute fav!! :)

Actually they are all my fav's!

Well, that's all for now!
I haven't felt real good in the tummy all day today so think I may just go relax and see if I can get it to settle.

Thanks for stopping by & have a good evening!

Yesterday, Fluffy finally went to the Vet out here in Joplin after a neighbor highly reccomended someone. Seems our 13 yr old is doing quite well. Lost a good bit of weight since last July but has a terrible ear infection! Lots of ear cleaning, ointment and antibiotics for the next 3 weeks and a change in her food since she is now a senior poochie and surprising she loves it! 1 doggie shot and she was out the door. She got lots of treats after that!! :)

Well, that's all for now!
Maybe i'll be back later to post...we shall see!
Thanks again for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Peaceful Swans

Good Morning & Happy Sunday!

Can't believe i'm awake already after only going to bed at 2am! We stayed up way late watching repeat shows of last years, Deadliest Catch. It was really sad but i'm excited for the new season to start this week!

Anyways, a few weeks ago one of my friends from back home sent me an envelope full of stamped images that we are gonna make into cards and share on our blogs. We did this a few years ago and decided to start it again. It's always fun to see what the other person comes up with!
Below are my card samples and Jen's can be see over on her blog: Jetstudio Designs.

The set we have used today is called Peaceful Swans by Sweet N Sassy Stamps. I really like this set with all the different swan images and sentiments! So pretty!



Peaceful Swans Sympathy Card:

Stamps: Peaceful Swans, Sentiment inside unknown

Well, that's all for me!
I can't decide if I should go back to bed for a bit longer or go get everyone up for a field trip today! Shawn was talking of going about an hour from here to see something but i'm kinda leary on it with bad storms coming today. That always makes me nervous living in tornado alley!
Well, whatever I decide you'll hear about it tomorrow! LOL
Thanks for stopping by & have a great day! :)
