for years, i have looked at creative blogs (the whole long list to the right) and been so amazed and impressed with these girls creative skills! i wish i could be that creative. i wish i had the time! i always have good ideas but they never turn out very cute (ask any of the girls in the card club i used to be. for sure, my cards were the ones they all threw away!)
so i usually resort to giving scentsy for gifts for birthdays, to teachers, etc...
this year, i decided to "think outside of the box" and go for it.
i found this blog last week: www.eighteen25.blogspot.com and the gal had the cutest teachers gifts on there.
i decided to copy the swedish fish one. this is one i knew i could do.
i made about 12 of them tonight - one for all of the kids on brian's soccer team that he coached, 2 for kaitlin's dance teachers, and then i will make the remaining 8 for the kids teachers at school next week.
i bought the 3" circle punch and that was an awesome purchase.
then i cut the scalloped papers on my cricut (another awesome purchase)
filled up the bags with swedish fish, tied on ribbon, and put on the tags.
voila!
i thought outside the box, and i think i did a great job!
for once! ;)

What are you talking about? All the stuff you've done is highly creative in my book! You don't give yourself enough credit!
I agree with Michelle... you always do great work! These are SUPER cute too!
Those are so cute!!
it's ok, Darla. You can tell everyone how bad I sucked at card club! while I gathered everyone else's adorable cards, everyone got stuck with my crappy cards. sorry!
Jen - you are always creative and the stuff you make is awesome... Despite what you think you are a downright crafty crafter! These turned out super cute!
