Were you Naughty or Nice?

I hope everyone had a Merry, Merry Christmas.  So I have one question to ask, were you naughty or nice?  LOL.  Our big party of the year is Christmas Eve and this year was no exception.  We blew it out well.  One of the dessert was the naughty or nice trays.  I made regular Rice Krispie Treats for the nice side and Oreo coal for the naughty.  I'll list the recipe for the Oreos chews at the end of this post.

I made the little signs for the trays using products from Scrap-Mart.  I would have brought them home to take a bit better photos, but there was a precious little girl at the party who wanted them, so off they went in the spirit of the evening.

Here is a list of supplies used for the signs:

Sizzix Frame Back Ornate #3
Amazing Paper Grace Kit of the Month November: Stamp
Spellbinders Circle
Tim Holtz Distress Ink
Stickles 

Now the recipe for the Oreo Coal.  Let me warn you cut these very small as they are really chewy.

One package of Oreo cookies/ processed in the food processor to crumbs
4 Tablespoons of Butter
5 Cups of marshmallows

Melt the butter and the marshmallows in pan over the stove top.  Once everything is melted add the cookie crumbs and stir to all mixed.  Pour out and press into a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Wait to cool and cut into small bite size pieces.

Exciting News from Scrap-Mart

I was thrilled to be asked to join the Scrap-Mart Design Team.  I love working with the team as a guest designer and am really honored to join them.  Today I've created a gift box.   I was inspired by a picture I saw on Pinterest or somewhere of a box similar to this, so I just had to sit down and figure it out and I love the final results.

The flower was created using the Grand Peony Creations Spellbinders Die.  The base and top both used Fleur De Lis Motifs Spellbinders.  Of course I inked everything up with Distress Inks from Tim Holtz.

Don't forget you can 40% off one item at Scrap-Mart by using the code STUFFING.  They also have a new shipment in of the hot Spellbinders Die Dlites, so don't miss out.  

Layered Card for Scrap-Mart

Did you know majority of this card is solid cardstock...there is just a bit of designer paper used around the base and one of the labels.  The rest is either embossed or stamped and colored, which really helped me achieve the look I was going for.  

All the stamps are from JustRite including the beautiful green and aqua fronds background that I colored in with markers.  I also finished the card off with a homemade charm of pearls. Would you expect anything else from me.
