ORANGE SHERBET PRETZELS

 

Easy peasy - used Snyders little pretzels and Wilton Orange Crème Candy Melts - the melts are limited edition and not available in stores (order from Wilton) - heat the melts per instructions and dip the pretzels and let them cool on wax paper.  Think next time I will do strawberry Crème.  Yummo!

TWINS BIRTHDAY INVITATION

 

Hard to believe that the twins will be six on February 19th.  They are having seperate parties after their birthday and on the 18th. they are being dropped off at Grammie & Poppa's for a "Birthday Day" with Grammie & Poppa.  These are the invitations and I  hope to drop them off to them today. This one was easy but took a little time.  Ticket graphic found online, used a graphic from the Graphics's Fairy for the kiddos and just cut out a photo of them and used glue dot to adhere.  The "basket" is a paper cup, I printed out some paper then added a little glue to the lip and sparkles, folded paper for the fan and added ribbon. Pipe cleaners from Hobby Lobby make the handle & the trim.  Used a scalloped punch for the birthday age & printed out a tag with the six and using Jim Holtz Distress Ink "Vintage Photo" for the edges.

VALENTINE'S DAY 2013

 

 

Cones made from 12x12 heavy scrapbooking paper, used the Martha Stewart circle punch to make a doily and then lined them with a doily from the dollar store, stapled the holder securly and then used the Valentine tinsel ($ store again) to cover the staples and give a finished appearance.  Filled with pencis, candy, trinkets and a $10 iTunes card.

The cartons in the front are paper to go cartons that I made a label for (I use Corel Draw X6) and glued ribbon around the top.  Both the container and the top are paper and the container is coated so I don't have to put anything else in the carton but the yummy Valentine Snowball cookies.
