Tis the Season

I know, I know Thanksgiving isn't even here yet and I am already starting to think about Christmas. Does time fly by as fast for this time of year, as it does for me? Whew!
The project for today is a tradition in most families - Reindeer food. For those of you that haven't heard of it, basically you take oats and sugar sprinkles (this is safe for animals, so we don't use real glitter) and put it in little bags. Then on Christmas Eve night, you sprinkle it in the yard and when it is gone in the morning, the kids know that Santa's reindeer have been there.

I made several of these to give as gifts (great for the classroom)

I took 1/2 cup of oats and 2 tsp of sugar (1 red and 1 green) put them in a clear bag and sealed them. The toppers are made from layered SU supplies. The Rudolph stamp is from SU bingo bits. I used chocolate chip ink for Rudolph. The layers of paper are crumb cake and real read that I sponged chocolate chip ink around the edges. I printed the poem on the computer.

Rudolph's nose is a self adhesive gem that I purchased at the craft store -or you can use an I-rock gem

Happy Holidays to you all.

Thanks for stopping by, I'll see you again soon.

Treats!

Hello,
So glad you stopped by. I just had to share my latest project -treat bags. I made these for my daughter's competitive twirling team (their colors are lime green and zebra print)

This is also the first project that I made on my new Cricut Gypsy (love it!!!) If you have, or get a gypsy and register it before October 31, Provocraft is giving away 6 free additional cartridges on a download November 1st -Woo Hoo!!! This is a total of 8 carts worth (2 come with the gypsy already) Thank you provocraft!!!! You can check out Gypsy promo for all of the details.

OK, back to my project :0)

Here are the "twirl or treat" bags for the girls. Black cardstock base from Stampin UP! Zebra paper is from open stock at Hobby Lobby. Font is Gypsy Font and the rhinestone (dot for the I in "twirl) is also from stampin' Up! The actual bags are from Clearbags I have ordered several things from them and they are wonderful to work with!!! Check them out :0)

Here is a little closer view

Here is a picture of the team from a recent performance. These girls are really talented! I know it will be a great twirling year!!! 

I hope that you all have a fun and safe Halloween!
