February Blog Winner

This is one of my favorite parts of having this blog. I love when i write down all the names and cut them out. My girls have so much fun folding them and helping out as well.

Can you believe that we hit over 100 ballots this month!! You girls truly are amazing and an inspiration not only to me but to eachother as well.

Emmy was my helper this time. I told her to go and brush her hair and grab my camera BUT... she was too excited to waste her time on her hair and just covered it up with a hat!!! She gets that from her Dad!

We placed all the ballots into a hat and she swirled them around.

She then reached in and grabbed a ballot.

I put together the following tutorial for the weScrap Love Fest Cop and wanted to share it with all of you:

Candy Holder Card:

Gather up some supplies:

cardstock

patterened paper (I used Basic Grey Bittertsweet)

die cuts or stamps

ink (optional)

foam dots

ribbon

slit punch, knotch and die or exacto knife

small candy (ie M&M's)

trimmer

score tool

1. Cut your cardstock or double sided paper to the following: 8 1/2 by 4 1/4.

2. Score at 3 and 6 1/4 inch.

3. Fold into eachother.

4. Cut a strip of patterned paper aprox. 2 x 4 and adhere it to the front flap. Ink if desiered.

5. Using your slit punch, tool or exacto knife make slits on the inside middle portion of the card to hold your candy. You may need to place your candy as a guide.

6. Wrap your ribbon around the top portion of the card and make a knot or bow.

7. Mat your chosen die cut with coordinating cardstock or paper. You can also choose to stamp an image on cardstock and mat that if you do not have any die cuts! You can also print something off from your computer.

8. Use pop up foam dots to put your sentiment on the front. It adds dimension and allows the person to open the card easier.

VIOLA!! A sweet little card to hold some sweets for someone special.
