Again ~ I LOVE this giveaway!! EEK!!

Okay so for my project we do Elf on A Shelf in our house. My sister saw this last year on Pinterest. They are Elf doughnuts! We made these last year but it was past the My Creative Time 5 Days of Christmas.  I know our days are numbered, my son is getting older, so I couldn't resist doing it and sharing with you all. You take Cheerios, lick them, YES lick them and dip them in sugar, powdered sugar and come sort of chocolate. I used chocolate we have for ice cream sundaes. Now obviously we really don't eat them and if you do them in a group, assign every one their own bowls or topping. So simple, very messy but such a fun idea. We send these back with Elfie, that is our Elf's name  so original right??) on Christmas Eve as treats for all the other hard working elves! LOL! I crack up just thinking about this. Anyway, they fit PERFECTLY in the Treat Slide Box! I also wanted to share that our Elf is good right now but once the magic of all this ends, he will turn naughty! It will be so much fun!!!

Materials Used:
Treat Slide Box
Alpha Pack
Once Upon A Time
Typewriter Die
Stitched Round Tab, Arrow & Tag Dies
Winter Flake Dies
Paper ~ PTI, EP ad MME
Ribbon ~ PTI
Ink ~ VersaFine and Archival

Alright ~ I need this giveaway too! OMG ~ I am loving ever single thing this week Emma is giving away!!!

Today's project is all about our puppies in our lives. Whether it be your own, a family members puppy or a friends they still need to get little gifts for Christmas. When we go out to my sisters place in New Jersey for Thanksgiving, we always go to the cutest doggy store.

I also would like to add, a lot of my die  cuts today were scrap die cut pieces. Go me!

Well didn't Emma and the design team have some wonderful projects for us all yesterday?? I thought so! Today I wanted to share with you another simple and fairly quick project. I have wanted to make one of the hot chocolate test tube holders forever and wrote notes for these years ago but altered it here and there. I am sure if you Google test tube holders, they will be able to explain in better detail on how to do this. Since "Snowy days are here", at least in my neck of the woods, I thought why not give it a try. Plus my son LOVES hot cocoa on cold days. The best part is he helped me fill these tubes up and they can be refilled over and over again. As always I will list all materials listed below and I am trying to keep my post super short all week, I don't want you to miss one single thing!

Materials Used:
Scalloped Stitched Oval Dies
Snow Buddies
Winter Snowman Dies
Vintage Stitched Label Dies
Winter Flakes Dies
Paper ~ DCWV & PTI
Ink ~ VersaMark & SU
Ribbon ~ SU
Tim Holtz distress glitter
Martha Stewart Test tubes

Oh my word!! Isn't Emma super sweet!! I want to win these!! LOL!

So our goal this week is to share super simple and easy ideas that you can create for the holidays. We are all running around trying to get everything done and trying not forget anyone! When I saw these chocolate lollipops, I obviously did not make them  (I am not a baker nor a chocolatier by any sense of the word) but knew I could make them look more appealing  simply using the BEST products out there! My Creative Time products of course!!! You seriously can dress up anything with Emma's products! These can be stocking stuffers, a treat for all our amazing delivery people or have a basket of these sitting there for special guests who may just stop by... whomever you give them too ~ they will feel the spirit of the holiday!
