CTMH Treat Tubes

Looking for a cute way to use the new treat tubes from CTMH?

We made these at our March card class....

 
It is using a stamp set of the month from the last catalogue and the new glitter paper!
 
 
We covered the pink boxes that came with the treat tubes to make them look like pot of gold boxes.  Filled the treat tubes with Runts to make it look like a rainbow going into the pot of gold....the bottom of the tube has a gold wrapped chocolate as the gold prize!

Cutest Little Easter Bunny!!!

Hi Everyone! 

I was inspired to share this adorable Bunny Treat Holder made with the Artiste Cricut Cartridge. We made this pinterest inspired bunny at my group card class and everyone loved him (and they are all copying it for their Easter Treat giving gifts!). Easter treats or a gift card will fit perfectly in his little tummy. This is really easy to put together and he turned out so cute!




To find all the measurements please go to the demonstrator that helped to inspire me! http://cricutwithheart.blogspot.ca/2013/02/bunny-treat-holder.html

She has amazing pictures to show you what to cut, which cartridge to use and how many to cut!! 

 
Thank you to Cricut With A Heart for inspiring me and my card group!!

New Month, New Goals!

Well, I went away on trip for the last month and did not do any posts...
So here is what has happened on my journey for the last month!
We traveled to TO through the US...I had such great goals of losing weight on our trip...that did not happen! We both gained 2 pounds! I am glad it was only 2 pounds...but would like to see some good results for all my efforts!

We purchased a Wii and Wii Active (and Wii Fit, but I need to lose weight in order to use that one!) on June 1, 2009 and have used it almost every night since then (except for when we were away on the trip...maybe that has something to do with the 2 pound weight gain...??) Wii Active is sooo addictive! My hubby lost 15 pounds on it so far (but gained 2 back...) while I lost 5 pounds and gained 2 back!...very slow journey!

My goal is to take a picture of everything that I eat so that I can remind myself to eat healthy! We just got a new camera and I am going to start that one first thing tomorrow morning!
