Getting ready for a craft show so made a few of these. The stamps are from the Holiday mini which starts tomorrow. Twick or Treat (116497) also uses DSP Night and Day Specialty (116768). The Big Shot with die Bag w/Scallops (114519) added some candies.. The 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" circle punches were used as well. Didn't take long to get these together..
Have a great day!

Beary Best Friends

These two are done with Beary Best Friends (118052) which you can order Sept 1 from the Holiday mini. A really cute set the words are from Beary Nice Wishes (118050)also from the mini. and the Happy Birthday to you! is retired.
I have just used the Aqua Painter (103954) and ink pads to color. The ticket Corner punch (107214) was also used. These little bears are fun. Have a great day.

Sweet Treats

Made these yesterday so I had something to post this morning. Uses stamp set Sweet Centers (116521) from mini as well as Sweet Treat Cups (116802). The paper is only orange and a retired DSP Paper. There kind of cute. I know a couple of little people as well as a few older ones who would love to get these treats. Especially the black jelly beans... Have a great day..

Treat Box

This was one of our make and takes at convention. It uses the Treat Boxes (115690) these are coated and quite durable and a very good size would hold several cookies, or candies small bottles many many things for small gifts for the special someone on your list. We also used 3/4" Polka-Dot ribbon(115608) and the stamp set Sweet Season(116471) small scraps of paper makes a great gift tag. Have a great day..

Corn and Apple parade

This was the weekend of our towns Corn and Apple celebration. We had lots of company as usual like most people in town. There is a very good parade on Saturdays my four year old granddaughter was visiting from Saskatchewan she had a great time. Got lots of goodies and she squealed with delight. Now to clean the house change all the beds we had fourteen in our house so the beds and floors were all taken.
Hopefully I can get back to stamping soon. I think the new Holiday Mini's are in the mail and it is full of fantastic new products.

Covention swap

These two boxes were part of a swap I received from B J Peters aren't they cute. That little turkey would be cute on the Thanksgiving Day table or the Pumpkin with a few treats inside.
