4th of July Cupcakes

As promised, we broke into the 4th of July cupcakes and I wanted to show you the insides. Of course I cut the pinwheels using my Pazzles.

This is what it looks like without the foil liner on it.

This is what the insides look like....fun fun fun!

Rainbow Cupcakes...They taste as good as they look!

My kiddos just loved these!  They are a little work to make but with very fun results! I got the recipe from one of my favorite cooking sites...Our Best Bites.  Lots of yummy recipes can be found there!

4th of July Red, White and Blue Cupcakes

These are the cupcakes I made for 4th of july.  When we eat them I will post a pic of the insides...I colored the batter so the inside of the cupcake is Red, White and Blue too!.  Kinda like the rainbow cupcakes. I made the pinwheel toppers using two-sided scrapbooking paper, my Pazzles, glue and some flat toothpicks. 

Paper Purse

I purchaced the instructions for this purse, tweeked it a little and created a Pazzles file for it.  I made it for my Secret Sister on Scrapfreak.  I put microwave popcorn in it because it was one of her favorite snacks.  Since I made it Pazzles file I can make it basically any size I want it so I have one in the making right now that will fit two Girradelli squares in it.  Very cute.  

4th of July Altered Jiffy Pop.

 

This is a party favor I made for our 4th of July party guests.  I created the fire crackers and letters on my Pazzles Creative Cutter...and alas I waited the the very last minute to get these done again...hmmm  I see a pattern forming here...lol

Sketch Challenge

May's Sketch

This is a layout I did using May's sketch challenge on Scrap Freak.  If you haven't visited yet you need to. Very cool site!

Small Watering Can

This is a smaller version of the watering can I made previously.  I filled this one with candy in a celo bag tied it off with ribbon and glued little flowers to the top so it looks like a bouquet in the watering can.  I made these for the office staff and lunch ladies for a Easter treat.

Valentines Bird House Treat Box

I made these little birdhouses from a milk carton file I have on my Pazzles Creative Cutter.  I designed the roof file and added a heart cut out to the side of the milk container.  I filled it with Hershey's Nuggets covered in Valentines scrapbooking paper. I covered the heart shaped hole with clear cellophane so the nuggest wouldn't fall out.  I made them for the office staff and lunch ladies at my kiddles school.

Easter Treats!

I made these little Easter treats bags for my kiddo's classmates.  I designed the file and cut everything using my Pazzles Creative Cutter. The "body" is just a clear celo bag and I just used glue dots to add the feet, hands, head and tail.

French Fry Gifty

I just love "gifties" I dare say I like making them more then scrapbooking...yes, I said that out loud!...LOL I made the Fry box and fries on my Pazzles. Each fry holds a package of smarties. You can also put the longer tootie rolls in them too.

I plan on making some for my friends and adding a tag that says. Fries go to the Thighs. So I made you a treat you can actually eat! Well, something like that...UGH...LOL Yeah, it took me all day to think that one up...LOL

CLOCK FOR TEACHER

        

This is a clock I made for my DD's teacher. I sent a survey out to both my kiddle's teachers to find out what they like so I don't get them gifts they don't really want. She said her favorite colors are pink and purple and that she loved stripes and polka dots. I decided to make her a clock for her birthday. It couldn't have been a better choice because the clock in her room died the day before...the Lord works in mysterious ways! She loved it!

Holloween Pumpkin Holder

Here is another version of the Easter Egg Holder I made earlier in the year. If your not into black cats or Halloween kinda stuff you can add a little Pumpkin Patch sign instead. I plan on filling the pumpkin with candy and making one for each of my kiddos class mates. I made it using my Pazzles Inspiration.

Card for Aaron's Teacher

Every year I give my kiddles teacher a questionair to find out what they like so I don't give unwanted gifts during the year. Well, Aaron's teacher collects candles so I made her this card and gave her a new candle every month. I added a ribbon to the top and attached it to the first gift bag we gave her. She loved the candles! And Aaron loved to give them to her.

Beach Layout

I was organizing my pics on my computer and came across this layout I did about a year ago.  It was a DT layout for Scrappy Girls.  We go to PCB every year and it just reminded me of all the fun family time we have together.

3 inch Cards

These are a few three inch cards I made. I love the littler
size. Perfect to put in lunchboxes or on coworkers desks for a little pick-me-up. Cut the Star and embellies using my Pazzles Creative Cutter.  I swear I would run back into a burning building to save that machine...tee hee.

Watering Can Teacher's Gift

 

I made this watering can for Aaron's teacher. It was her end of the year gift. I cut it with my Pazzles. I filled it with Giradelli Chocolates and added a Target gift card. Target being her favorite place to shop. She loved it! I will probably make this again I really like the way they turn out and they are very easy to do.

Fire Cracker Party Favors

I made these firecracker candy bar sliders for our annual neighborhood 4th of July BBQ and fireworks show. If you pull the ribbons (which are supposed to be the "sparks") at the top a candy bar comes sliding out. I got the instructions for the slider on Splitcoast Stampers but I made up the whole firecracker thing. I know its not the best but I decided to do something about 2 a.m. the day before the party. Hey it is what it is...LOL You can't tell very well from the pics but I versamarked stars on the red paper. Everyone loved them and that's all that mattered. If I make them again I think I will do a little more on the design end of them and also add their names.

Easter Egg Holder

I am so excited about this file. I created it from scratch on my Pazzles. I plan on making these for my kiddles class and for Aaron's soccer team. And maybe for the school staff...if time allows..tee hee. 

Saint Patties Day Pins

I made these for my kiddles classmates and the school staff. I used two sided tape on the back so they could take off the top and wear the "pin". there is a peppermint patty in-between. Everyone loved them!

I made these little penguins for Avery to give to her classmates for Valentine's Day. She is a penguin freak so she loved them. There are two kisses in their bodies. I got the idea from Splitcoast Stampers, but I created a cutting file for my Pazzles instead of having to cut everything by hand..did I mention I love that machine?

I made 40 of these for Avery's and Aaron's classmates and friends...UGH. Inside the package is a Little Debbie's Gingerbread Man, a pack of mini MM's and a little baggy of icing. I also put instructions on the icing bag so the recipient would know to snip off a corner and use it as an icing bag. Avery can't wait to give them to her classmates.

I cut out the gingerbread man on the topper on my Pazzles Creative Cutter...Love that machine (link on the left) and I punched the little eyes and buttons. I also cut the icing on the gingerbread men arms and legs on my Pazzles. I don't know what I would have done without that machine. It took long enough with it! Anyhow, I am pleased with how they turned out and I think the kiddles will have fun with them. Again, another "stolen" idea with my own twist from Split Coast...tee hee.

I am working on some cupcake boxes for Aaron's class Christmas party...a Happy Birthday Jesus party...woo hoo! I know it will be fun and I will post the finished product when I am done.

Hope all is well with everyone!

Avery's Layout

This is a laout of my DD Avery. She is sitting in a chair in our front yard.

ATC Card

I won first place at a scrapbooking convention for this ATC card. It still hangs in my scraproom.

Secret Sister Pocket Calendar

This is a calendar I altered for a secret sister of mine. I am sooo excited because I found some today at the Dollar Tree..the good ones from Day Spring. I got a few of them to alter for my kiddles teachers. Oh the fun. Lets see if they get done before 2009. HA!

Altered Mini Spiral

This is a little spiral notebook that I altered.

Layout - Christian & Heidi at PCB

This is a layout I did of Christina and I at PCB. I painted the corner and then drew in the "paper" lines for the journaling. I just love Christina! She's been my best friend for like forever.

Limo Cupcake Toppers

These are some cupcake toppers I made with my Pazzles. My daughter had a limo party for her 8th birthday. We had a blast and the cupcakes just added to the fun.

Handwoven Basket and Strawberries

This is a basket I wove from paper...yeah I know what was I thinking?? I got the instructions from Splitcoast Stampers (link to the left) . The strawberry has two kisses in it. I used my Pazzles cutter make them.

Holloween Spider

Ok I totally stole this idea. But it was to cute not to...lol You use the flower punch from Stampin Up and then photo corner punches for the legs. I tweaked the design a little adding the googley eyes and orange nose. I don't have the photo corner punches so I used square punches and just cut them on the diagonal. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you there is a York Peppermint Patty glued between the flower punches...YUM! I am planning to make 37 of these little critters for my kiddles classes. I can hardly wait..tee hee. I think they are too cute!
