Bookmark Calendars for Craft Show

Ok, so today will be the last of the craft show items that I donated to our church's annual craft/bake sale. I found the file to make these bookmarks over on Splitcoaststampers. One of the ladies always shares her calendar files with the rest of the community, YEA!! I just stamped a few random flowers around, mounted it on card stock and than laminated them, very fast and very simple too.

Here is a link to the bookmark calendars:http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/templates-f143/cats-2011-bookmark-calendar-template-t483297.html

Have a great day! The next couple of post I will share the two recipes that I used for the bake sale items, OH are they ever YUMMY too!!! Mary

Magic Reindeer Food for Craft Show

Well did you all make it thru Thanksgiving? My husband and I had a very quite one, just the two of us. We did this last year and enjoyed how quite and peaceful it was, so we decided to do it again this year too.

Now on to the post! In the picture above is a cute idea that I first saw on Angie Kennedy Juda's blog. Here is a link to her video:http://chicnscratch.typepad.com/chicnscratchlive/2008/11/reindeer-food.html
You use oatmeal and cookie sprinkles (some use glitter but there could be a problem if the birds are attracted to it and eat some, that is why she used cookie sprinkles). I used my Stampin' Up Top Note die to make the bag header and a retired stamp set called "Deer Friends". I put some Diamond Glaze on the nose to make it shiny. This would be a nice little item to give to the kids or grandkids on Christmas eve, so Santa knows where to drop off the presents!! Click on the picture to read the poem.

Thanks for dropping in to see me, have a wonderful week-end......Mary

Cocoa Cards Craft Show

Hi all! Here is another craft item, could use this too for co-workers and would not be hard on the budget either. Also got this on the craft thread at SCS. You cut your cardstock like you would if you were going to make a card. I put a medium glue dot in the back center (inside of card) than put a packet of hot cocoa mix on it so that is would not fall out. Than I decorated the front. I used a retired Stampin' Up set called, "Like It A Latte". Than I put a small glue dot on a Bogdon's Candy Stick, they are peppermint flavor and made right here in Kansas City, and attached it to the front of the card, ran ribbon around the whole card. I used some old cardstock and designer paper, good way to use it up and help at the same time too!

Elf Pillows Craft Show 2010

Here is another craft item for the church craft sale. I do wish I had a elf stamp, this really needs one, oh well. I've priced this little bags of candy very low so that the seniors at church will be able to buy them, we have a large senior population. This too was found at SCS in the craft show thread. Hope you are enjoying seeing all of these cute little items! Mary

Rudolph's Spares Craft Show 2010

Ok, here is the craft item that I put together using the red M&M's for the craft show at church. I used Stampin' Up's retired hostess set called, "Deer Friends", what a cute set it is too! The Rudolph Spares I typed up on the computer and use SU oval punch to punch them out with, very easy and quick this way. I colored in the deer nose with red marker than applied some Diamond Glaze so it would be shiny! Found this on SCS's craft thread too. Have a great day and take some time to play too! Mary

Grinch Pills for Craft Show 2010

Happy Wednesday to all! It is cold and raining here, brrrr.

Today I want to share with you this cute little craft item that I'm going to donate to our church's annual craft/bake sale that will be held this coming Saturday and Sunday. The president of the ladies club at church sent out a letter asking for new ideas for the show and I thought to myself..."hmm, why not just make some stuff up and donate it". I'll just drop it all off at church when I drop off my two baked goods. Money is going towards the "new boiler" fund. I used Stampin' Up's Top Note die cut for the bag cover. You are suppose to put this on a container of Tic-Tac's but I could not find any green ones, so I bought a sack of Christmas M&M's and used those instead. I'll show you in a couple of days what I did with the red M&M's. My friend Chanda, re-sized the cute Grinch image and poem for me, I found that over at SCS on the Craft show thread, I get alot of "crafty" ideas from SCS, COOL site!!
