What 2 posts in one day? I know right? Well I just had to share what I sent my Son to school with this morning! He was so excited! I made some super easy goodies! Just a stamp, ribbon, cello bag and of course candy and Voila~ you got yourself a cute favor. Below that one is a Treat holder/Card Holder – will show you how to do that one a little later!
So what do you think? To cute huh! What I like best is how easy it was.
Can't wait til he gets home so I can find out how the kids liked them. Next I want to show you what I made for his Teacher.
Here is a Treat Holder/Card Holder –
The envelope holds the 3 x 3 card and a Ghiradelli Chocolate. YUMMY!
For both projects I used all Stampin' Up! products. The Hearts a Flutter Stamp Set, Single Heart Stamp and Teeny Tiny Wishes. I LOVE that set! Real Red/Pool Party Ink.
Well that's all for now until next time…Thanks for stopping by and as always….
Happy Stampin,

Happy Thursday and Happy Valentines Day! Well I went to post some samples last night and completely forgot! I am so sorry! Geez to much on the brain! But I do have some more Sweet Swaps to share and right on time for Valentines Day!
Is this not the cutest? Super simple yet very elegant. This is a swap that I got from Sandy Hancock!
She used the Hearts a Flutter Framelits, Fashionable Hearts Framelits, Elegant Lines embossing folder, Delightful Dozen Stamp set, 3/8" White Taffeta ribbon and the Small heart punch.
How did I know all those supplies you ask? She was kind enough to put on the back.
Thanks for stopping by and will share my son's Valentines that he took to school today. So until then….

I'm back! Crossing my fingers that all goes well with my son in school! So far so good. For those who are on my Newsletter, you have already read about it. But my son was home sick just about everyday except for Wednesdsay (i was feeling ill myself that day). Thursday he woke up sick yet again! Friday there was no school, but again he had a fever when he went to bed on Saturday night! UGH! Talk about frustrating, so we ended up taking him to the Dr.s yet again! BUT all is much better, just bad allergies and a bug that keeps coming and going. Let's just say that yesterday I could tell by the afternoon that he was much better with his energy level up and Oh, the talking???? Caramba, he is much better! LOL!
Well I wanted to share some of my swaps that I made for Leadership! I have a Valentine's Day one and a little later will share a few more. I know 2 posts in 1 day watch out. I will be sharing LOTS of stuff this week! Thanks for your patience and for those who emailed me about my son THANK YOU!!! I truly appreciate your concern more then you'll ever know.

p.s. Come back tomorrow for another cute project.
Happy Friday everybody! Is it just me or did this week just fly by? Well it sure seemed to for me, but then again I was super busy. I wasn't feeling to well yesterday but I mentioned I was making little treat holders for my son's class. Well I did get them done and wanted to share those today.
Now this project is an oldie but a goodie! Love the sourcream containers. They are super easy to make! If you haven't tried them you should. Below is a quick tutorial on how to make them. Would LOVE to see what you make. Comment me with the link!
Also I made his Teacher a cute little box with "Mr. Acorn". Is he not the cutest?
I got this idea from a fellow Demonstrator Doris Denman. Being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator we have access to a site called "Stampin' Connection" and that's where I saw it! She's has other amazing projects that I'll just have to share a little later! ; )
His face is the Ornament Punch! How clever is that??? I will share more of Mr. Acorn a little later.
Now on to the Picture Tutorial for the Sourcream Container!
Stamp set: Day of Gratitude, Teeny Tiny Wishes.
Ink used was: Early Espresso, Old Olive, More Mustard, Crajun Craze, Chocolate Chip & Basic Black
Step 1
I randomly stamped a full sheet of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Leaf, the acorn and Happy Thanksgiving using the colors mentioned above.
Step 2
Cut into 4 even pieces 4 1/4 then in half at 5 1/2 you'll have 4 pieces measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.
Step 3
Next you'll put your adhevsive as shown.
Step 4
You'll want to take off the sticky strip from the 4 1/4 inch side and roll like toilet paper and you'll end up with what should look like a toilet paper roll.
Step 5
They you'll take the sticky strip off of one side and squeeze together like shown.
Step 6
Put that end into the crimper and turn about 3 times. This will hold the sticky strip real good in place.
Before you pull off the next side of sticky strip put your goodies inside. I used Hershey's Kisses 3-4 will fit good inside.
Step 7
Squeeze again put the opposite way. Look at the bottom of the photo.
Then run through the crimper again and you are done. Now you can add a tag to these too! How cute would that be. I just ran out of time.
This will be your finished project! Now was that easy or what?
As always thanks for stopping by and tomorrow I'll share the party favors I made for my Son's end of the season baseball party. TOO fun!
Have a great weekend and Happy Stampin',
