We Love ALEC the BUNNY!!

My son, named Alec, also loved this when he was younger since NO ONE really had his name, it was always ALEX.. ha ha

so here is my take on Presto.. 

I made a Magician's hat for Alec to pop out of!

The magician hat is available in the store TODAY, you can get it here!

This hop is ONLY for Alec the bunny, free today ONLY

Here is a top shot of him in the top of the hat... I had some chocolate carrots left over from easter in my stash (gross , I know)...and I added some candy stamps to the bottom of kisses.

Here Alec is fully out of the hat! TA-DA!

Go Wild this Summer Sneak Peek - You're Fintastic!

Welcome to Love Bug Creations "Go Wild this Summer" Ribbon Sneak Peek extravaganza!!

If you are not familiar with Love Bug Creations, they have some really awesome hand dyed ribbons that we just LOVE to use on our projects!  This is a special week, as they are previewing some of their new patterns and colors!

Today is just a PEEK...but come back on Friday for the Hop!  More projects showing inspiration using the new lines of ribbon!
*** CANDY ALERT****
During Sneak Peek Week, Lovebug Creations will be offering a $10 gift certificate to their store for the Sneak Peek part and ALSO another $10 gift certificate on Friday for the HOP part... so make sure you COMMENT and leave a message in order to be entered for the fabo prizes!

For today though, I am showing you my Summer inspired treat bag - You're Fintastic!

 I created this adorable & colorful fish, because I just knew it would look awesome set against the new ribbon in the Polka Dot Parade Collection.

 I choose to use the white and blue color combo,from the collection to offset the orange and pink in the fish.  The colors are so nice and vibrant, perfect for summer and this treat baggie!

  I used the fancy topper die from JadedBlossom.com and also the flag dies.  The sentiment is also from Jaded Blossom, the Happy Summer rubber stamp set.

The colorful fish cut file is new from SvgCuttingFiles.com.  I used some paper trey ink papers to bring out the summer theme. 
Then I stamped some Kisses using the THANK YOU sentiment in Birthday Candies.

I hope you enjoyed my cute little treat bag...but don't forget to come back Friday for the hop where I will show you another awesome collection of ribbons soon to be released!!

Trixie's Magical Birthday Blob Hop!!

Hello Everyone and Welcome to a VERY Magical Celebration!! If your here from ~*~*~Candace's Blog~*~*~, then your in the right place.   If not, you may wanna start at the beginning so you dont miss a BEAT! (complete line up located at bottom of post) This is such a FUN and Magical HOP! We may be Celebrating Trixie's Birthday a little bit late, but magical creations take time!  
So DEAR, SWEET Trixie is a girl of my own heart, she LOVES DISNEY...(who doesnt, right?)  She has ALOT of favorites and I think she narrowed it down really well...  I chose to make her an Adorable Minnie Mouse Ears hat MINI Slider Card attached to a Fun and Whimsical Candy Tube Holder! I Absolutely LOVE how the Mouse ears turned out!!

I Lacquered the ears so they would like like the plastic ones they sell at the theme parks & I was going to FLOCK the hat to make it look like 'felt', but I didn't have BLACK flocking! Grrrrrr!! What is a girl to do?   I opted to do the next best thing, and HAND STITCHED to Personalize her own Minnie Mouse Ears!

here is a SIDE view of the candy tube holder

Here is the Slider MINI hat.... pull on the ears....!!

Hard to tell..but the ears are lacquered to give it a nice PLASTIC look! 

Then I stamped my Jaded Blossom Sentiment to it!

added some JB stamps and Dies to the top of the tubes to tie in the theme a bit more!

They are sooo Awesome! 

So easy and simply to do!! Finish it off by adding some RED Ribbon with White Polka Dots, just like Minnie!!  Stamp a sentiment to your insert card and secure the closure with a mini velcro dot!! Next, create your DOUBLE candy Tube holder, and just go to town with the Black, White, Red & Yellow Color Theme!
