Easter Baskets

I enjoy giving friends little things to celebrate holidays. For Easter, I made these cute little Easter baskets with eggs. I found mini-plastic eggs at Hobby Lobby. The eggs are filled with Hot Tamale Jelly Beans (yumalicious!!), Life Saver Jelly Beans, and some other yummy kind of bean.

I got the idea from Split Coast Stampers and altered it to dimensions that fit the eggs I bought. I cut 6 x 3 1/4" paper for the basket and scored at 1" on all sides. I'm taking a guess at the handle, I believe it is 6 x 1 1/4".

Weekend Fun

Spring Break is almost to an end and I used most of it up keeping my house clean. So, I decided to have a crafty weekend. Here's what I've accomplished so far...two Secret Sister gifts, a boss gift and a hubby gift.

Chocolate Box and Candy Wrappers

I got the box idea from Kay at Creations on Paper. I used her dimensions exactly. The candy wrapper idea is from Barb at Stampin is my Job. For three Snickers or Muskateers, I used a 5X6" piece of paper. For two Kit Kats I used a 5X7" piece of paper. The longer side goes around the candy.

For this wrapper, I used a 5x7" piece of paper.

I used 7x7" piece of paper for this wrapper.

I'm always looking for inexpensive gifts to let my friends and family know that I'm thinking of them, hopefully these will do the trick.

Take some time to create,
Jennifer

Birthday Tea Pics and Projects

I think the birthday tea may need to be made into an annual event. We had a lot of fun eating and creating. Instead of presents I asked all my friends to donate a box of granola bars for students who don't always get to eat breakfast at school. As a thank you, I planned three projects for my friends make.

Here's a pic of the table setting. This is at my mom's house with her china. We had scones with Devonshire cream and jam, cucumber sandwiches, tuna salad sandwiches, and chocolate cake.



Projects
This is one of my favorite stamps from River City Stamp Company. The inside says, "God watches us at all times, let's try to be entertaining."

This is another favorite stamp that I found at Hobby Lobby. The inside of the box holds six Treasure chocolates. Each of my friends brought a bag and we swapped flavors. Each chocolate is wrapped in a stamped address label.

The flower on this bag is the new big flower punch from SU.










Make sure to take time to create this week.
Hugs,
Jennifer
