Calling in the Elves

It's that time of year again!  The time of year where I start to panic a little about everything I have left to do to get ready for Christmas!  That means it's time to call in the elves!  I need all the help I can get :-)

I enlisted the help of my own personal little elves last night to help me finish stuffing all of their little birtday cookie treat bags and together, we got them all done...yay!  But you'll have to wait until Friday to see them...hehehe!

I will share with you my little elf inspired treat box I made for my Secret Santa at work though...

I have seen many different versions of these on Pinterst, but I added my own little twist by using the new banner die from the Balloon Framelits Dies...perfect for the little elf, right?!?!

Is it me, or does this make you think of the movie Elf?  This is one we haven't watched yet this holiday season, but is on the list....maybe that will be our movie for tonight!

 

Back to the workshop I go to finish up some projects so I can have everything all wrapped up by next week!

 

Wishing you all a happy Wednesday and Happy Stamping!

Treats for my Tricksters

Happy Halloween friends!!!  I hope your day is off to a fun start and is full of lots of treats and not too many tricks :-)

It has become a Halloween tradition for me to surprise my boys with a fun little lunch box treat.  I love that they still look forward to these treats because I'm sure it won't last for too many more years.  (Why do they have to grow up?!?!?)

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Whisper White, Mossy Meadow

Ink ~ Stampin' Write Markers: Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow, Tangelo Twist, Basic Black

Stamp Set ~ Merry Everything

Other Supplies ~ Note Tag Punch, White & Tangerine Tango Two-Tone Trim, Mossy Meadow Satin Ribbon, Circle Framelits, Tiny Triangles Embossing Folder, Scallop Tag Topper

 

 I coordinated the circle and ribbon on the other bags, using Blackberry Bliss and Tangelo Twist.  Everyone gets the same, but they are all a little different...the story of my life with 3 boys!

Time to finish off their lunches with pumpkin shaped sandwiches and peanut butter spider crackers!

 

Wishing you all a very safe and Happy Halloween!

 

Happy Stamping!
