MOVIE LOVERS GIFT!!!

This is my favorite of all my gift ideas.
I have a few teens on my Christmas list... and they love movies!
So when I found these little popcorn buckets
at Target for $1 ( for 2 !!! ) I had to buy some.
I added some crinkled paper in the bottom, added some candy bar
favorites and a few other treats, plus one movie ticket.
Wrapped them up added the bow and tag and ...perfectly cute!
Cost - about $10 each
( I bought the movie tickets at Costco 2 for $15 and
all the candy bars were on sale too! )

Mini Albums

Mini Albums
make great little gifts for that someone special on your list.
I made this one for my husbands boss and his family.
It is a mini folding album and it is so easy to make.
I will try to post the directions next week.
It takes 9 sheets of 2 sided papers. And about 4-5 sheets of
cardstock. ( plus ribbons, and stickers or goodies to decorate )
It is so quick and easy... and I think a great little gift!
If you would like the directions... make sure you comment so
I WILL get you the directions BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!!








Treat Bags

12/14 Day Two .... Cocoa

How cute are these Hot Cocoa holders?
I saw these at a Bazaar and just had to steal the idea.

I cut a sheet of red cardstock into 5 x 10,

Scored it in half,

glued along the bottom and side ... leaving a opening at top.

Belt is 1 x 11 and wrapped around the red to make the belt.

Circles are 1 inch circles ... crimped and

then I added the buckle.

Buckle 1 3/4 inch scalloped gold with 1x1 glittered center.

Once it is all assembled ... add a cocoa package and a peppermint stick.

12/13 Gift Idea #1

With the Holidays
Just around the corner ...
I have decided this week I will blog some great
little cheap gift ideas!
Each gift will....
1. Have a scrapin' touch
2. Be low cost
3. Easy to do !!!
Today I am sharing this great little treat...
Make a bunch and
give to office co-workers ( one on each desk) ... or
Your kids classmates... or
I am using mine to put in the teachers boxes at my work ( I work at a school )
Day 1
Uses Cardstock, glue, and your Cricut....plus Doodlecharms or Christmas cheer cartridges.....
and a pepermint patty.
Cost : Im guessing ... pennies!!!

The peppermints need to look like this... any brand. I found mine at Walmart around $2 a bag.
I turned them into these!!!

I sandwiched the patties between two cardstock circles. ( flower shaped & 2 inches ) They do sell a 2 inch punch at Michaels I used my Cricut. But if you don't have a cricut you
can use the punch and embellish with Stickers. ( That would just increase your cost a bit.)


Here is a back view that shows the shape of the circle. I used Accent Essentials
Cartridge and then wrote Merry Christmas with a white gel pen.




JACKI AND I MADE A TUN!
She went home with 36 and I had the same. I made about 16 more and still
had peppermints left over.... I only bought 2 bags!!!
This is a great project for scraps... I of course did not use scraps. ( ** I can hear
you ladies who know me laughing about that! :)
Here is the run down on cost....
Cardstock :
2 base color and - 2-3 additional colors per design made about 20 !
( Example: Cardstock 2 red, 1 flesh color, 1-2 white and 1 red )
About $2 per design in Cardstock.
Peppermints $4 ( 2 bags )
Embellished with what I had on hand / scraps ( these I do save ) $ 0.00
Total cost about $10 for 85 or so. About 11 cents each!!!
