Friday Idea



I got these cute bags on clearance at Target. I love Target clearance stuff and $1 stuff. This is my first attempt at trying to come up with something cute but simple enough that I won't mind making 15 of them for my daughter to give her valentines treats in at pre-school. As I already mentioned the bags I found on clearance for .74 for 12 bags...WOOHOO! The stamp set I used is "Time well Spent" it is a level 3 hostess set in the new catalog. Paper is whisper white, Pretty in pink, Real red. The ink is real red and then I colored the flower with pretty in pink and then accented with crystal effects to make it 3D. The ribbon was another target clearance find. I found the spool on an endcap with no price, took it to customer service to ask how much. The lady said "I don't know, how about .10?" TEN CENTS! can you believe that? If this is the project that I choose to make for Maddie's class then I will put some candies in the bag and let her make a hang tag for each one and off she will go to pre-school.

Do you have a project that you are working on and would like to share? send me the picture and description and I will pass it on.
