Easter Goodies


I know this post is late but I wanted to share some cute goodie bags I made for my co-workers for Easter.  
I made the chocolates using Wilton Easter molds then added some jelly beans to the bag.  The bag I used for the treats was from Wilton.  The topper was cut from Cricut cartridge Elegant Edges.  The paper is from We R Memory Keepers Cotton Tail stack.  The bunny was cut from Martha Stewart Holiday Cakes Cricut Cartridge.  Very simple and they all loved them.  This is a very easy thing to do if you have to mass produce gift bags.

Cardz TV Challenge #100

Happy New Year everyone!  I took a break from my blog for a while.  I spent so much time crafting before the holidays that I just needed time to catch up on the rest of my life!  I am back and ready to start crafting again.
