Good morning all! I am still feeling under the weather - my ears hurt pretty bad and my head feels like it is going to fall off, but I decided to take some drugs and stamp a little! Thanks so all of you for the well wishes, I really appreciate you thinking about me! My upline offered up a challenge to her downline to come up with a project using our fabulous rub-ons. I so love to use them so I decided I was going to get busy and make an Easter project for someone special. I used a Starbucks bottle (ya know, the ones with frappuchino in them) as my treat holder which I will be filling with chocolate eggs. The
Regal Rose belly band around the center is stamped with the flowers from
A Good Egg stamp set and then I used my
white gel pen to color the flower centers in. I then used
Summer Sun card stock and punched out three
scallops and layered them with a
Regal Rose 1 3/8 inch circle. I stamped my image on
Whisper White, colored the chick using my
stampin' write markers, and paper pieced the shell with the
Flowers For You Dp. I popped this little guy up on
dimensionals all around the bottle but used
Red Sticky Tape to actually adhere the scallops to the bottle to ensure they stayed. The
rub-ons go all the way around the top of the bottle and are from the
SAB set which I totally love and will be sad to see go. Right at the neck of the bottle I added some
Regal Rose grosgrain ribbon.
The lid is decorated with a
Regal Rose Scallop and a
Summer Sun 1 3/8 inch Circle which I added a
rub-on to, then accented the whole thing with my
white gel pen. The side of the lid has a piece of
Maize grosgrain ribbon around it. Sorry for the blurry pic, no matter what I did, the pic of the top kept coming out like this.
I decided that this little treat bottle needed a matching card so I set to it! It is a fairly straightforward card although I will tell you how I did the image for this one. First I adhered all my layers, then punched a
scallop from my
Flowers for You DP. I adhered that to where I wanted the image to appear from the inside of the card and used my
1 3/8 circle punch to punch through all the layers. That is how I got the scallop outline. I then punched another circle and placed that on the inside of the card and placed the image on it with
dimensionals.
Here is a picture of the inside of the card. And, the last picture is the full project.
I used a lot of
rub-ons but I love the way they look and I don't think I overdid it. Did I???
So, I will leave you the full recipe below. I hope you like my little project! Stay tuned because later this afternoon there will be a blog candy posting - woohoo!!!

Have I told you guys how much I completely appreciate you??!! Because I do - alot! Thanks for the well wishes for my pup, he is doing much better. Seems he has a bladder and kidney infection but he is on antibiotics and seems much more his normal self - thank the good Lord for that! You see, my dogs are part of my family and well, they are really my dogs, especially Clyde. I love that little guy and was very upset that something seemed to be wrong. At first they were worried he had been poisoned, but they ruled that out pretty quickly. Anyway, he is on the mend, with his mommy's watchful eye making sure he stays that way. This pic is him this morning holding on to his bone so nobody else would get it - that is a normal behavior for him and I was happy to see it! Now, on to my project for the day! 
Tabitha aka Zippity-Do-Dah posted a scrapbook challenge on her blog. She is VERY talented, I love her blog! So, I decided to do this one. There were stipulations: something green, the word lucky, flowers, brads, eyelets, ribbons, and staples needed to be used. So, here is my take on the challenge. I am actually going to put this one in a 12x12 frame and hang it in my scrap room so I wasn't too worried about the bulkiness of my embellishments. I also made a pocket journal tag that talks about how much I love my kids. This is a pic of my kids at Christmas - I just made it sepia in color. My theme is lucky - how lucky I feel that these kids are in my life, that God blessed me with these marvelous little human beings. They are my reason for being, and I feel very lucky to hold the title of their mom! There are some SU! items used, and some non because I have so much scrapping stuff pre-SU! that I need to used it up! Pretty straightforward, but ask if you have a question. As for the blog candy, I have decided to wait until Monday to post it - I know, you have to be patient a little while longer, but it WILL be worth it, I promise! Just wait until you see the goodies I have for you!! Have a great weekend!
