Something Yummy for Your Tummy Treats

Welcome to the August edition of My Pink Stamper's Design Team project day.  :)
The entire design team is creating projects with Robyn's newest stamp release so if you're stopping by my blog first you can hop over to Robyn's blog to take a quick look at all of the projects by the entire team.
For the past couple of years I have been sending a little goodie to Spencer's pre-school friends to celebrate the first day of school.  It's just a little something for each of  his friends to take home in his or her back pack.  
His pre-school has class names for each age group and he is in the "Ocean Treasures" class.  I know that "goldfish" do not live in the Ocean but other fish do and I thought goldfish crackers would be a fun snack the kids would enjoy.  I put some goldfish crackers in a baggie and tied on this super adorable tag.  I had 15 to make so I was able to do a little "extra" including doodling and embossing the body of the fish with my cuttlebug.

  • white tag (I used a blank index card) folded in half
  • gold fish - "Create-a-Critter" by Cricut cut 1.75
  • I used the "Hide Contour" feature on my Gypsy to hide the one eye on the fish so I could draw my own with my black marker, I added chalk for cheeks, black markers for doodling as well as my white gelly roll pen
  • "Tiny Mosaics" Cuttlebug folder for fish body
  • For the waves on the card I used my blue Copic marker and also used a blue maker to draw the circles (bubbles) for the fish.
  • Sentiment "Something Yummy for your Tummy" - My Pink Stamper {yummy-licious set}
  • Jute (or twine) string to attach tag to plastic bag
  • For inside of bag I used the sentiment "Welcome" My Pink Stamper {yummy-licous set}
  • "1st Day of School" My Pink Stamper {School Days set}

If you are just visiting CJToo's blog and would like to start at the beginning of the hop click { here } to start at Robyn's blog.  This Blog Hop will consist of a Challenge so if you'd like to participate in  Challenge...you'll need to start at Robyn's blog (here) and follow the blog hop trail to obtain KEY WORDS (offered at each blog) - those key words will make a sentence (in blog trail hop order) so you will know what the challenge for the Blog Hop is.  Sneaky, huh?  Yep....let's have some fun!  :)

Tracy ~ CraftJunkieToo

My name is Tracy or Craft Junkie Too (CJToo for short) - I live in Texas with my hubby and 2 sons.  I work full time for a State of Texas facility that offers services to over 300 mentally challenged individuals so most of my crafty time is in the evenings or week-ends.  I've been crafting since I was a teen-ager doing everything from cross stitch to wood craft painting; I discovered the Cricut about 2 years ago and I never dreamed the world and friendships it would introduce me to.  It's sooo cool! I have adopted a LOVE for papercrafting and most enjoy designing cards, home decor and treat/goodie bags.  I love to teach the steps of my projects through video tutorials and try to upload project video's when I can. You can view my YouTube channel here.  My 4 year old loves to "craft" with me so you may see him or hear him in my crafty video's.  :) He's a hoot!  

For my project I've decided to replenish my stash of *girlie* Birthday Cards.    I try to keep some cards on hand to pull out when I need a quick card.  Robyn's "Punnylicious" stamps are a fan favorite so visit her products page to order some if you don't already have them in your stash.
