Pencil Holders

Good Evening peeps!  I am at the computer right now eating my supper, Spaghetti Pie (made with elk from Wayne and Susie :-), green beans and a baked potato.  YUM!
I spent most of today in bed.  I am in a flareup that started last night.  Not fun.  So I am trying to get it to settle down if I can.  I finally decided around 4 o'clock that I need to eat something today....besides Hershey's Kisses so I got up and made supper.  It sure has been pretty to watch it snow.  I love doing that!

These are some pencil holders that I made earlier in the week.  I sold some of them at Curves, and some will go to the kiddies in my life.  I used the slit punch to make slits and the pencil slides through the slots.  The piece of card stock is 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".  I used the retired stamp set Dear Friends to decorate them with, and the following punches: 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" circle punches, and the scalloped circle punch.  I also curved the corners with the corner rounder punch.  If you don't have the slit punch, a 1/2" circle punch should work.  You can find the Holiday pencils right now at Dollar Tree.  A package of 12 is $1.00.  You can't beat that!  These would make great gifts for Sunday school classes, your child's school class, Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops, etc!  Have fun crafting!  Elaine

A Basket of treats!

I had picked up these cute little snowman and Santa Claus treats when we were in Mauston this week at Walgreen's.  I made up 8 of them last night.  The card stock is cut at 3 1/4" x 11.  Then you score at 1 1/2" and 5 1/2".  The 1 1/2" part get's folded down and then is punched with the fancy scalloped edge punch.  I ran adhesive along the sides to glue it together and tied a piece of retired Riding Hood Red ribbon around it.  The gingerbread boy is from the retired Level 2 Hostess Set Dear Friends.  If you recall, we made several cards last year at the Christmas Stamp a Stack with it.  It is punched out with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch, then matted with a 1 3/8" Circle in Basic Black and then matted again on a Scalloped Circle. A quick and easy project!
