Day One Of My "31 Days of Halloween"

I am feeling ambitious and inspired by sooooo many cute 3D projects I am seeing on YouTube. I want to make THEM ALL! I am not a 3D project creator. I can create some pretty cards, but my brain does not comprehend the mathematics on how to create 3D projects, so I copy, copy, copy. I LOVE 3D projects. If it was up to me we would make two 3D projects and one card in class instead of two cards and one 3D project. 

Anyway.... back in either July or August I decided to do a "31 Days of Halloween" for my two Littles. They will pass out one treat each day in October to their classmates and teachers at their school. They only attend school Monday through Thursday, so in the end that makes seventeen projects. Plus at this time there are only six kids and one teacher in Ella's class and nine kids and two teachers in Jameson's class. I am making a total of twenty of each project, just in case the student numbers change or I want to leave something cute for my mailman or give a treat to a neighbor. Now, I am on a mission searching Sam's, Kroger's, and Walmart's for anything I can put in a small box or pouch to hold a treat. I cannot wait to see what cute fall snacks I find and what treat boxes I recreate for the kids. 

Here is my first finished project. It is a cute Tootsie Pop sucker holder. I found this idea on YouTube. If you do a YouTube search, you will be amazed by the dozens of videos that pop up. I love these crafters that generously and kindly share their work. I bought two bags of suckers at the Dollar Tree, so far this project cost just $2.00, which is $.10 per student along with using my leftover card stock that is piled up in my scraps bin. A win-win for me. Also, I am using anything and everything in my craft room. I am knocking the dust off my non Close To My Heart stamps, dies, and papers that have been sitting on a shelf or in a box. You will see a mixture of products used to make these cute projects.  Enjoy!

Thinking of You Card

Today I am posting a card that I created late last night when I should have long been in bed. It's crazy how your mind picks the oddest ...
