HaPpY BiRtHdAy Bonanza (lol)


Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter who turned 17.
Wow how time flies. I can't even begin to express how proud I am of her.
It seems like only yesterday that I was in the hospital holding you in my
arms for the very first time.

A dear friend of mine put together the most AWESOME ice cream cake for her.
With a whole bag of Hershey kisses. (her favorite)

The best surprise of hers was her friend from Oklahoma that she hasn't seen in 2-1/2yrs
-came to see her with a surprise visit, and spent the day with her.
Great reunion for a couple of besties. =)

sweet candy treat

Cut Card Stock 4-1/2 X 4-1/4
and score on the 4-1/2 side at 1-1/4,2-1/2,3-3/4

cut another sm strip at 1 X 4-1/4
scallop edge punch #119882
(any border punch will look good with this)

now it's time to run thru Big Shot #113439
using the perfect Polka Dots #117335
(you will want to make sure you have already
scored your paper before doing this step)

attach your 1 X 4-1/4 piece on the smaller flap,
run a strip of sticky strip down center before applying candy
(i used adhesive here but for a better hold sticky strip is ideal.)

.... now fold over - it should look like this.

I used one of my all time favorite stamp sets for front Oval All#113790
with matching punches ;)
scallop oval #119856
large oval # 119855
this truly would work for so many occasions,
just love it and of course especially love the
simpleness of it. =)

Frightful Sight Treats

Start with a 6 X 4-1/2 dsp
choose your favorite candy
to insert into middle and take adhesive and adhere on all four corners.

fold each flap over-(the long way side like you see below)



it should now look like a roll- smush each end flat before crimping

use the crimper #101618 $ 19.95 to crimp each end .

... love this lil gadget. =)
now it should look like this on each end.
all that's is left to do is decorate to your desire.
