Tea Bag Holder

The Tuesday challenge at Project Tuesday was to follow a tutorial on tea bag holders and to create one. Well, being a big chocolate fan I decided to make a chocolate holder instead using my Stampin' Up! "Oh so sweet" set.

I think it turned out pretty darn cute for my first time making one of these holders. What do you think?

I hope you enjoy!

Challenge 44 - Father's Day

This week at Cupcake Craft Challenges the challenge was to create something for Father's Day that was more than a card. Here is a picture of a trail mix jar I made for my dad with some close-ups. The cover slips off so that the jar can be washed and refilled with more trail mix.

And this is the card I made earlier in the week for him.
