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
