Treat Cup

Lots of things going on here! Making many projects~ some I can't share because they are for upcoming events! October is a busy retreat and workshop month for me.
This is the cutest treat cup, a surprise for a special group of ladies I have for an upcoming event. They can choose a Fall, Halloween, or General image. I used CTMH papers, stock and pirate stamp (not so clear in this photo) .




Fill with your favorite goodies for a double treat! Great for any party, get well, pencils for a teacher, or even filled with sugar free treats for someone on a diet.

Treat Containers & Recycled Gifts: Rub-ons

Do you have rub on's, left over or sheets you haven't used? These are great projects using rub on's! You can pick any theme sheet, or use uncommon designs.

This was a half a sheet on a recycled plastic container (came peppermint sticks inside) . You can add a ribbon, yarn, and a tag and fill with anything you can fit in the mouth of the container. Who wouldn't love to get this filled with anything!

I found the little glass flower pots on sale for 15 cents each last year because the seeds were missing... and they will hold a tea light, votive candle, and many other things. This used pieces parts of a rub on left overs. So don't be afraid to mix up pieces from different sheets.

Last but not least a super lamp. The neighbor's empty wine bottle (washed inside and out, wiped with rubbing alcohol prior to applying rub ons) , add a string of 25 Christmas lights in side (no drilling holes for me~ lol) , and the entire sheet of rub ons! The great thing ... I didn't even separate them to add them on, just placed the entire sheet as they were placed on top of the bottle.

This is birthday theme, you could certainly add a larger bow, a few silk flowers in the mouth of the bottle. What a fun gift for anyone. You can see it sheds beautiful reflections when plugged in and it highlights your rub ons!

Scrapbook "Bell Pull" or Plaque


Got this great plaque kit from 3Birdsnest.com it was fun, and it's on clearance! Comes with nice thick 6" chipboard circles, reversible papers, punch out flowers-photo mats circles- words, awesome metal raised letters, rickrack, velvet ribbon and a tassle.

Decorate each like you desire.


Add your photos ( this was from 1995), black and white would look nice! Next string your ribbon and chipboard, add your tassel and you have a plaque or a bell pull!

I may use some of my new Close to My Heart stamps for images for the photo mats. Wonderful treat for yourself or a gift!
