S'more Birthday Gift Ensemble

WARNING: Pic heavy!!

Here's me 2 years ago with my birthday "cake"

while camping in my real life happy place, Colorado.

And yes, that is a stick lit as my candle!

This week I've been busy making a fun gift for my daughter to bring to a friend's birthday party. I know I went way above and beyond for a kid friend birthday gift, but I was inspired by my new Scrappy Moms Happy Camper stamp set and some of the recent challenges going on. But most importantly I had fun making it (isn't that what it's all about??) and it makes for a fun blog post! :)


Here is the ensemble:

The card/anti-bac holder  - The tutorial

I used can be found HERE. Thank you, Jan!

What anti-bac scent? S'mores of course!

Key Ingredient # 1

I was tempted to get the generic, but these are

America's Favorite after all. It says so on the package.

Must be true.

Key ingredient # 2 - Love that they make

the squares now. Of course the box says Limited Edition,

 but they'd be crazy to discontinue it!

 Key Ingredient # 3 - But let's face it-

If you didn't have 1 or 2, you could live on this one.

 This sweatshirt is the main gift that got my idea engine

going. My pre-teens are obsessed with Aeropostale!

 This was a Wal-Mart find. I figured it

could come in handy for this sporty friend.

Supplies:

• Cricut Campin' Critters cartridge (campfire on bag, s'more on card/anti-bac holder)
• Cricut Gypsy Wanderings cartridge preloaded on Gypsy (water bottle vinyl)
• Cricut A Child's Year cartridge for candle on s'more
