Halloween Treats

Yesterday you got to see some tricks! Now let's have some treats!!

This first idea came from Pinterest! I have made little S'mores packages before with just plain marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers. This is the same idea with a Halloween twist on it. I can remember when Peeps was just an Easter treat with chicks. These sugar coated marshmallows are now seen for Valentines day, Halloween and Christmas.

I wish I designed this Peeps cake. How cool is it with purple and green fondant. Check out all the ghosts and pumpkins in the scene!

Are you a Peeps fan? Do you like them fresh or do you prefer to open them and let them get stale? What holiday character would you come up with?

So while I don't do fondant, I know how to make a bundt cake....then butcher it!!!!!!!

I actually let my daughter and her friend "butcher" the cake after I spread the buttercream icing. They had fun making pools of glittery blood and then stabbing it with little candy butcher knives! The Devil's Food cake was delicious and oh, so moist!

What treats are you making for Halloween?

Egg-Cited for Easter?

Heart 2 Heart challenge blog is "Egg-Cited" for Easter this week! I decided to create some more funny bunny cards in different colors than my original one that I posted here. I hope they bring a laugh to the recipients this Easter!

For this first one I placed some springs behind the peeps bunnies to really make them hop!

These bunnies are just pop-dotted on some blue gingham ruffles and green twine!

Finally, some assorted colors sitting on a strip of topiary pom-pom ribbon.

For the little Peeps!

I wanted to use the Peeps stamp set for the treats to my nieces and nephews. So of course for my treat to them I chose boxes of marshmallow Peeps!

I began my project by random stamping the bunny peeps in coordinating colors on White Daisy cardstock.

I used Kraft cardstock to wrap the boxes then adhered my random stamped paper in the center.

To finish, I stamped the peeps on colored cardstock and added the sentiment on a banner. The bunny peep is attached with foam squares for a little added dimension.

Happy Easter Everyone!



Peeps Easter Basket

I just had to share this Easter basket with you today. One of my customers made this for me using her Cricut, My Peeps stamp set, and the gorgeous Lucy papers! It completely made my day!! Thank you, Thank you!

Dotty Peeps

This cute card uses the Peeps stamp set again and some of the new Dotty papers! I matched the colors of the peeps with the actual marshmallow treats! I've also used the adhesive spring to give my card extra dimension. I am entering this card in the Ribbon Carousel Spring challenge this week. You will see that I have added some green twine to the bottom of the card and also used it to tie a knot in my button.

"Springy" Easter Challenge at Heart 2 Heart

Heart 2 Heart Challenges Blog wants to see your Easter/Spring creations this week! Hard to believe that Easter is almost here. This year is moving right along!! My card features the adorable Peeps stamp. How clever is that sentiment?! I also love these cool springs that Close To My Heart carries in their Spring Idea Book. It gives the card great dimension, but stays nice and flat in the envelope for mailing.

All of the products I used to make this card is Close To My Heart.

Be sure to visit the Heart 2 Heart Blog this week to be inspired and to play along!

Easter Goodies!

I was a busy little bunny yesterday preparing some yummy Easter goodies! The first are for Easter as well as my son's Birthday. He asks for dirt cake every year, but I've never made them with bunnies and chicks! Dirt cake is a wonderful mixture of pudding, whipped topping and crushed cookies.

I made a batch with chocolate pudding and oreos. There the ones with pink bunnies on top. {Oh, no!} Look what those bunnies left behind?

The other batch were made with banana cream pudding and crushed graham crackers. On top are cute little chicks and eggs!

There are some other surprises to be found down in the dirt!!

Next, a treat to share with family and friends. White chocolate popcorn with M&M candies. I found the recipe for this quick and simple treat at the Scissors & Spatulas Blog. It's really good and can be very addicting! I dressed up the bags with organdy ribbon and a bubble blowing bunny tag. How cute is that?
