Gift Jar

Found a cute little gift idea on Pinterest.

Had mint candies and gum all bagged up and said "thanks for your commit 'mint'".

I decided to make them for the boys' teachers.

One was a jar:

The rest I put in baggies and made toppers:

Lawnscaping 3/Wee Memories #42

Hi there. I am combining 2 challenges in this project. 

The wee Memories Challenge #42 was to use those SCRAPS!  Got plenty of those!   

It's also time for another Lawnscaping Challenge where this week's theme was LOVE. 

 I have two boys.  They love chocolate and they love bugs so I teamed up a good old fashioned Hershey bar with a spider to make a little Valentine for them.

 

The web in the stamp set says "Happy Halloween" in the middle of it so I used some clear stickers I found at Hobby Lobby a while back and then stamped and paper pieced the little spider for the top. I grabbed a piece of pink from the scrap drawer b/c I thought pink made him more Valentine-y.    I LOVE Lawn Fawn's "Harold's ABC" set.  I was able to spell out all three words "web of love" and stamp them at the same time! That green paper is a scrap from MM's Chloe line (I think).  That's the pile it was in, ha ha

I stamped the spider's little feet on the top of the heart to make it look like he's holding it:

Standard size bar:

Here's my base.  I cut the paper 5 1/2" by 5 1/2". 

 I then scored it at 1 3/8", 1 5/8", 3 7/8" and 4 1/8".

Top top panel (green paper) was cut at 2 1/4" by 5 1/2" to cover the top. 

Supplies:
Stamps: "Heebie Jeebies" and "Harold's ABC" by Lawn Fawn
Ink" Memento
Papers: cardstock, green from MM Chloe (I think), stripe is from Amy Butler Lotus
Stickers: Hobby Lobby

Thank you to the sponsors for these challenges,

Michelle's Scrapboking and More and Lawn Fawn!

Thanks for coming by!

Teacher Treats

It's back-to-school time. I made these cute little pencils for the boys' teachers. This project came straight out of Creating Keepsakes magazine September 2010 issue, page 68. A pack of rolos is wrapped with the scored yellow paper and the ends are Hersey kisses. Pinking scissors are used on the pencil tip end. The stars were cut from the Cricut. I used Lawn Fawn's "Harold's ABC" letter set to stamp the teachers' names on them.

If you'd like detailed directions, please see my August 27, 2010 post.

Thanks for looking and I hope that everyone has a great school year!
