Cellophane Candies


I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
It's Black friday, everyone out shopping yet?
Here is a quick craft I did with my girlies the
other day. It was really fun and cute to do.
You cannot tell by the photo but these are LARGE!
I purchased these at the Dollar Tree, they come 2
to a package and are two styofoam circles,
of course for a dollar! So you can buy
quite a few. The size is a 12 inch circle, we took
our everyday wrapping paper laying around the
house and cut out the circles and then used adhesive
to attach them. We then cut out the cellophane and
ribbon and tied bows! Easy as that! We are using
them for a variety of decor for Christmas. I do
alot of vintage decorating so they will come in handy.
You could always make a bunch and put them on your
tree too! soooo fun! xoxo

Count Your Blessings......


Happy Thanksgiving! I woke up this morning
singing in my head my favorite song Count your
Blessings.... I love this song, it is so upbeat and
a constant reminder to be Thanksful for all we
have in our lives. So much to be thankful for!
Blessings to you all as you go about your day
with your families and friends in hopes that today
brings you comfort and joy. Now, don't over eat!

Candy Shish kabobs!


Hi all! These candy kabobs are fun and easy to
make. First buy some bamboo skewers. I used
Reeses's mini peanut butter cups and skewered
7 of them onto the bamboo. I then added the cello
bags and tied it off with ribbon. I found this online,
the tree is made with the 1 3/8 punch , 1 3/4 punch
and 1 ' punch. Punch all three three times and then
skewer them onto the bamboo. I used stickles to
add the glitter and then punched out stars for the
top of the tree, xoxo

Penguin weekend!


These little Penguins are all over SCS
so we took a stab at them this weekend.
My Daughter and I got out the Big Shot
and cut out the top note die to make the
above card. The Penguin ornament below is
made with all circle punches.


To make this penguin take the 1 3/8
circle punch in black and 1 1/4 circle
punch for the white center. The arms
are made with the 5 petal flower punch.
The head is 1 1/4 in black and also a blue
one layered on the back for the ear muffs.
The earmuff cirlces are cut from a 3/4
punch. The face is white and cut from a
heart punch. The feet are made from the
curly label punch. So fun easy and cute!
