Thanks for the M&Ms

Good Afternoon,

I sure hope everyone is doing fine. I have been visiting lots of crafty friends during the last two days and it truly amazes me how creative people are. I am now looking forward to trying some new techniques, making a few shape cards, and exploring a couple publication opportunitites. 

Today's project is for a student who gave me a M&M set the last week of school. I created a card for her using the same colors as the dispenser. I am going to mail it to her, so she will be surprised.

 The bow, button, and tag bring the top of the M&M dispenser's colors together.
 I always have M&Ms fall to the bottom of the tray, but they never sit there long. They are too scrumptious. Besides M&Ms do melt in your hand, so you have to be quick!
Materials:
all papers came from scrap box
Wrap it Up Cricut cartridge ~ bubblegum dispenser (p. 44) cut at 4"
Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge ~ tag (p. 65) cut at 1"
Elegant Edges Cricut cartridges~ matting
green ribbon with silver trim
pink button
Key Lime liquid pearls
white gel pen
white embroidery floss

Challenges:

Stay Creative,
Georgiana
