Easter Treats

I have been busy making treat holders for my neices, nephews, grand kids and school treats. I love making 3D projects and class treats are a very good excuse to make lots.

 For the school I made 50 pillow boxes using a Sizzix die (ruined 1 of them). I stamped them with the flower wreath from the PKS March SOTM. I colored in the centers of each flower with a Copper Star Gelly Roll pen. The sentiment is from Pink by Design's "Hoppy Easter" stamp set.

Challenges:

PKS - Peachy Challenge 11: 3D Object: Candy Containers

More Than Favors - Wacky Wednesday #68: Easter/Spring

For my oldest granddaughter and my 3 neices I made lunch sack purses. The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs "Scripture Sayings" stamp set, the handles are 3 Girl JAM "Cherry Lipstick" crinkle ribbon and the flower eyelets are from Eyelet Outlet.

The canvas bags (Gifts International) are for my grandson, baby granddaughter and youngest nephew. I stamped them with PKS "You are my Sunshine" stamp and the sentiment is from K Andrew Designs "Splash-tastic Summer" stamp set.  

Now I only have 1 more to make for my nephew that is graduating this year. I didn't think he would find as much excitement from any of these treat holders so I am going to need to get my thinking cap on for him.

Challenges:

Getting Cricky - Simply Sunday Challenge: Easter Blessings

My Craft Spot - Monday Challenge #50: Easter

K Andrew Design Team

This is turning out to be the best week ever!!!

Last night Kristal announced the new K Andrew Designs DT and I couldn't believe it when I saw my name on the list. I tried out for her first team and was so bummed when I didn't make it and when her second DT call was announced I couldn't apply so when she announced this call I thought maybe third time would be a charm and it was. Getting Cricky was the first blog I ever started following and Kristal was the first person to follow my blog. Kristal has been such a wonderful friend for almost two years and I am very excited to be part of her team.

Here is a Craft Inventory book I made for my shopping trip last weekend and her stamp was the perfect sentiment for this project.

3 Girl JAM "Spooky Bundle" Witches Brew & "Spring Bundle" Iris crinkle ribbon

K Andrew Designs "Fashionable Friends" stamp set 

I made tabs using Papertrey Ink's Journal Tabs die collection with the most common things I buy at the craft shop so I wouldn't buy something I already have. It is not easy to return something when you have to travel 100 miles to do it. lol The tabs are: Cartridges - Copics - Dies - Embellishment Pens - Embossing Folders - Inks - Mists - PKS (Ben Franklin Too sells PKS but they are a better buy from PKS directly) - Punches - Stickles. This came in so handy when I found all the reinkers for my Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads. :-)

This is my haul from last weekend.

The best part is that my nephew graduates in May so we get to make another trip sooner than normal so I have to start saving again.
