Secret Santa, Day 2 - Favorite Snack

Popcorn...but I couldn't just top at plain 'ol popcorn! I made some white chocolate popcorn with dark chocolate M&M's and pretzels. YUMMY!!! Now I MUST get it out of the house ASAP because a single recipe filled 5 of these boxes/bags.

Secret Santa, Day 1

It's that time of the year again! I LOVE the holidays because it gives me even more opportunities to craft with a purpose...meaning someone's actually getting what I'm making :). Not that we ever need an excuse to craft, but I do love it when I'm making it for someone, so I signed up to do Secret Santa at school again this year.

Volleyball Light Box

Yesterday was my niece's 13th birthday (I can't believe she's a TEEN!!!!) and I wanted to make something personalized for her - especially because she just tried out for club volleyball and made the team. I've been seeing a lot of Christmas light box projects on Facebook the past few weeks, but wanted to make something that would look great in her room. This was super fun to make, especially because it was my first time cutting vinyl with my Cameo, my first time etching and my first light box project!

Supplies
Miss Kate Cuttables - Volleyball & Net

My Creative Time 2014 DT Call

I was so excited to hear that Emma at My Creative Time was having a DT Call! I've been an admirer for quite some time, and couldn't wait to enter for a chance to design for her using her amazing products. We had to design a layout, a card and a 3-D project, and I tried to use the few MCT products I had that just arrived from my Black Friday order....Wish me luck!!!

Double Birthday Celebration

My family and I are leaving for a road trip on Friday for a double-birthday celebration for two little ones who are very dear to me (my BFF's kiddoes). Her sweet little girl is turning 5 and her baby boy is turning 2. Since both of their birthdays are around the holiday season, she just decided to take advantage of everyone being in town for Thanksgiving! Smart girl!

I made some personalized tags to go with the themes for the birthday: Princess and Superheroes....

 
Here's a close-up....

Student Teacher Treats

I welcomed five student teachers into my classroom once a week for the past 6 weeks, and tomorrow is their last day. I wanted to give them a little treat to say "good luck" as they finish their degree, and I got to use A LOT of new goodies (with a little Pinterest inspiration)....


Here are some close-ups of the tags:

Happy Halloween!

I am all Halloweened out! So many treats in so little time...but I'm sad to be putting away my stamps & digital clipart for the year!

I wanted to put my baking skills to good use and make a little treat for my team at school, and I figured cupcakes were the perfect thing! They're quick to make, and there's a cute way to package them individually. The tags do help :)


What I used
