Decorate To Celebrate Guest Designer~ "Let It Snow" w/TAWS

Good Morning Bloggers!!

I am super excited to be sharing my
project for today as a  Guest Designer over at

Decorate to Celebrate

This week's challenge is 

"Christmas Party"
perfect challenge to share some Teacher's Gifts I made for my boys to hand out!
My oldest is in middle school so the don't do "Holiday Parties" but he still wanted to give something to

his teachers....all 12 of them...YIKES

So I thought I could make something cute that they could enjoy without breaking breaking the bank..

so I made these wrapped candy treats.

Since they were such a hit with my oldest I decided to make some more for the little one to give to those

"extra teachers"~ aides that come help in his class, the nurse, gym teachers and principle

Here is a close-up of the cute tag I added to them...
Look familiar? I made a similar one not too long ago using the same
The Alley Way Stamps...
Snow Much Fun and No Peeking
This time I just changed the paper and color and added a jingle bell using
some Trendy Twine in Christmas Candy Cane

Here are 10 of the 18 I made total.

Each package holds 5 Hershey nugget chocolates that I wrapped in designer paper 

from

 Jillibean Soup~Christmas Eve Chowder Collection

I made a little tray to hold them on so they would not slip and fall in a bunch in the bag and then taped the candies onto the tray.

The tray itself is very basic....

A piece of Bazzill cardstock cut at 2 1/2 x 5 and scored on the 2 1/2 inch sides 1/2 inch

in on both sides.
The wrapper for the candies measure 1 x 3..... simple simple :)
Well that is all for now...
I hope you have enjoyed my project for today and will play along in this week's
Decorate to Celebrate Challenge
Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT day!!

Ok so for my card today I used this weeks sketch from

The Paper Players

and came up with this....

Both the adorable snowman and the snowflakes I used for the border are from the new set.

For the border I used versarmark, CI Paints

 clear embossing powder, Resplendence Angel Dust glitter and my heat gun 

for the shimmer and sparkle that the picture does not do justice in showing

I tried to get a close-up...hopefully you can see how cool this looks

For the snowman I stamped him, fussy cut him out and stamped him again on pattern paper so I could paper piece his scarf. He is just too cute...don't you think???

I hope you like my card for today...yes I know we are ways away from the snow
