January Key Ingredients Blog Hop
Good morning and Happy Friday! Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? I’m heading to Archivers for a crop tonight and I’m so excited! The hardest part is deciding what to pack! Both of us like to “feel the vibe” before committing to scrapping certain pictures with specific paper which usually means a hefty total by the time I decide what I need in order to do my layouts!
But first, I’m joining the crafty gals on the Key Ingredients Design Team for our monthly challenge and blog hop. This month’s challenge theme is Classroom Treat. When I think something to make by hand for 30 children a couple words come to mind… fast, quick, simple, easy! OK… those all mean relatively the same thing so I bet you catch the drift. The kids are just going to tear it apart to get the candy as fast as possible! My project was inspired by Toddlers & Tiaras… yes, it’s one of my guilty pleasures. *grin* I was watching re-runs earlier this week and was reminded of Pixy Stix (and how it’s probably not a good idea to let a 5 year old eat an entire package of them in one hour). I know they were one of my favorites growing up so I decided to make a classroom treat using Pixy Stix, but I limited each pouch to just two stix! I made the pouches from cardstock and sealed them with 1/4″ sticky tape. Then I adhered a strip of patterned paper and found that many of the coordinating stickers in this month’s kit work great for the To: From:. Here’s this month’s kit and you’ll want to keep reading for the important updates to our kit club. Now is a great time to sign up so you don’t miss the exclusive goodies being released in February!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
