♥ 4th of July Treats and Card ♥

Hi everyone!

Here is some cute 4th of July treats I put together for some of my friends in the offfice.  You could do this quick treat for family get togethers, kids, grand kids or neighbors too. 

I love to use plastic punch cups as the base of treat cups/goodies...and you can "dress" them up for every occassion.  I found the red, white and blue tootsie roll pops at Dollar Tree. 

Here are the supplies I used for the treats.....

Plastic punch cups - Grocery store or Wal-Mart

Tootsie Roll Pops - Dollar Tree

Clear goodie bags - party section of the grocery store or Wal-Mart

blue curly ribbon

red and white checkered ribbon - Hobby Lobby (attaches and holds best with red sticky tape around edge of cup)

You can fill treat cup with any treat you'd like but be aware of chocolate (which tootsie rolls are) and the heat if you are going to be outside during the upcoming holiday.  Ü

Firecracker Tag:

firecracker stamp - PeachyKeenStamps

copic markers for red and grey as well as blending
other markers for doodling and accenting

gingham and red paper for layering. 

"celebrate" stamp from my stamp stash. 

Now for the adorable card....

"Stars" cuttlebug embossing folder really makes this card "pop" - white inking adds extra touches.

inside I used 2 stamps from MyPinkStamper - "dino-mite" fun! - click here to find out where you can order those. 

Until next time.....have a super day!

Pre-School Graduation Project and Video #103

Happy Saturday everyone!  I hope you are having a wonderful start to this Memorial Day week-end. 


I am so happy to share this project with you that I created for my twin nieces who just graduated pre-school and will begin Kindergarten in the fall.  They are not only special because they are my nieces but also because from the very beginning they had a rough start.  They were born 3-months prematurely when my sister-in-law was only 26 weeks.  She went into pre-term labor and it was unable to be stopped sooooo....needless to say they were born in July when they were supposed to be born in October.  I call them my little "firecracker babies" because they popped out on July 4th.  Ü  They remained in NICU for 3 months and when they came home it was a glorious day.  I credit my brother and SIL for a tremendous job of keeping these little girls as healthy as they could.  Anyone who's had a premature baby can understand how important it is to keep them away from EVERYTHING so their immune systems can develop.  This year on July 4th they will turn 5 years old....YAY!  They are celebrating with a Strawberry Shortcake birthday theme and how appropriate when they come driving around in their pink mustang (remote control car) it's soooo fun to watch them drive all around the yard. 

For this project.....I create individual gifts to celebrate their recent graduation from pre-school and are ready to start kindergarten in the fall.  Thanks for your comments everyone....I so appreciate them.  Ü
