This Week's Challenge...

~ Anything Goes ~

Here is my Design Team project...

I started off making a half dozen of these tags from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon. I had some Valentine colored M&Ms and wanted to make a few different ways to share them.

I started with a candy tube ( I used the color challenge from last week's Color Throwdown.).

I cut the tag on my Cameo, stamped the Jaded Blossom sentiment, and then attached with a piece of ribbon.

Then I put some in a paint can (Michaels).

Lastly, I just used a clear bag because it doesn't really matter how you get the treat...M&Ms are still yummy any way you receive them!

Other Challenges:

Tuesday Throwdown ~ Sweets for my Sweets

Have a Tasty Holiday with M&Ms

Hello Crafty Folks,

So glad to be able to share a project I made this weekend. These are the popular MFT lip balm pouches, but I filled mine with milk chocolate holiday M&Ms. Yes! They fit perfectly.

I  didn't have the tall tag die, so I used my Cameo to adjust a bookmark to just the size I needed. I used the rip strip on the back so the recipient can get to the candies easier.

A variety of festive pattern papers, ribbon, and twine were used. The 1 inch tag was cut on my Cameo and the stamped sentiment is by Jaded Blossom ~ Gingerbread Wishes.

Challenges: 

Cardz TV ~ Anything Goes

Brown Sugar ~ Anything But a Card

Simply Papercraft ~ Anything Goes

Happy Little Stampers ~ Anything Goes with Dies

Let's Craft and Create ~ Anything Christmas Goes

Only two days of school this week then two weeks off for Winter Break. I am looking forward to some vacation time. It's been a tough first semester.

Have a fabulous day!

Deliciously Colorful Day at Eyelet Outlet

Today is my day to post at Eyelet Outlet and Brads. Before I share my design team project,  I want to let you know that there is a Daily Deal where you can get a product each day at a discounted price. Be sure to check it out!

Here is my Design Team project...

Today is the last day of Spring Break and we return to school tomorrow for only 9 more weeks. Although the weather was a bit chilly during break, I have Spring on my mind. I made some M&M treats for my co-workers as a way to say "welcome back". 

I layered these paper flowers and added a brad to the center to hold them together. I adhered them to the topper in the upper left corner and then found a fun sentiment. A couple pink gems in the lower right corner to coordinate with the base of the topper and the flowers on the pattern paper.

Feeling Better Just in Time for a Merry Christmas

Wow! Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are just a blur now. Both days were wonderful, especially since family was able to come here. My meds finally started working on Christmas Eve, so I was able to create a few projects and it has been non-stop since.

 

First...I still have a bunch of these plastic tumblers, so I decided to make some last minute gifts. I used various colors of vinyl and the Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge. The tops are tied with coordinating bows. 

 The polka dots range in size from 1" to 1/4".

 Secondly...I used holiday M&Ms for a final candy jar.

 Although the white tag is simple, the stamp is from My Craft Spot...Mistletoe set. Love the bells and festive twine!

 

Lastly...My new toy! This was the first Cameo cut I made, Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons penguin. I tried after everyone left and I watched a dozen You Tube videos. Not too bad! The size is too big for a card, but it sure would fit on a scrapbook layout page. I will be exploring more now that I have the basics. I even found a project from the Silhouette store I am trying next. I am definitely glad I am feeling better!

More crafty news coming soon!

 

Until Next Time,

Georgiana
