A sweet treat....

Happy Monday morning to everyone! Today I have a 'sweet treat' to show you! I found this great little tutorial on THIS BLOG (Dawn's Stamping Thoughts) she's got a step by step video and its super easy and quick to put together! I knew it would be perfect not only for halloween coming up but also for birthday cards. When finished it holds a roll of Rockets (my son's fav!) or I believe they're called Smarties in the U.S. Same candy different name, which I don't get cause the only Smarties I eat are CHOCOLATE....lol!!!!

Anyway, here's the little treat holder/card:
I used Birthday Lily from Claudia & Co. Stamps for my little sweet treat holder. She is available HERE and is on sale right now, so be sure to swing by DCRU to see what other deals are going on. I coloured her up using my copic markers and added some shading with my prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I added lots of stardust stickles to the balloon, her bow, polkadots and shoes. The inside reads: 'A little treat for someone sweet! Happy Birthday!' I finised it off with some lace from the dollar store and a button!

Remember Claudia & Co. still has a great challenge going on which ends on October 5th! You can load up your card on the link HERE!

Also this friday marks the day for a brand new release for Claudia & Co. Stamps and our big blog hop. I'll be posting a little sneek peek this week just to get you ready for the cuteness that is coming!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great Monday!

Here are my creations!

Meet Back to School Landon....doesn't he look all ready to go back to school?

I created a pocket card and put a Chapters gift card inside for some back to school shopping!

This is Lucy Puddle Jumper. I also put a Chapters gift card inside the pocket of this one too. What girl doesn't love to shop! Especially for back to school stuff...(well I did anyway)

This is another card featuring Lucy PJ but I thought I'd do something a little different to show how versatile the stamps can be. They don't have to be school images if you crop them. Perfect for any kind of card. I also used a Claudia & Co. sentiment on this card as well.

These stamps are available HERE, are deeply etched red rubber and are excellent quality!

Your next stop along the way is the super talented LISA! You'll love what she's got for you!

I hope you enjoy your day and the rest of whats left your summer!!!

Some Sugar for ya...AND a little sneek peek...

Just sharin' more sugar with you today with the new July release Sugar Stick from

Claudia & Co. Stamps!

Isn't she so cute? She comes with a sentiment 'Oh happy day'....and she is on sale right now at DCRU. Which is also where I got that gorgeous dp. I just love the bold bright colours!!!

Don't forget that you still have a few weeks left to enter our current Pink & Aqua Challenge at Claudia & Co. The deadline is August 10th to be entered to win some cute C&Co rubber of your own! We'd love to see your creations!

On another note.....August is fast approaching and that means another fantastic release from C&Co. Stamps...so today I thought I'd show you a few snippets of whats to come.
