Valentine Treat Bags

The challenge this week for the SNSDC88 is "anything goes" so I'm sharing the little treat bags I made for the grands. They match the little cards I showed you in this post recently. I filled clear bags with pink, red, white, & cherry flavored M&M's and made a topper using a top note die folded in half. I printed out this "Be Mine" Cocoa Mouse digi image and added a little color with Copics, then layered it on some dsp that matches the little envelopes. I used circle and scalloped circle punches for layering. I love that you can re-size these digis to make them work for projects like this.

And here's the 2nd topper, using a pre-colored digi image from SNSS called Melanie Mouse. The striped dsp is by Recollections, and the XOXO stamp is by Canadian Maple Collections.

I hope the DGK's will like these! I know I really developed a fondness for those new cherry-flavored M&M's while filling these treat bags! WOW, they're good, and definitely something I don't want to keep in the house! LOL

Have a fabulous Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!

You come up with the cutest little things, Carol! I love these candy bag toppers and those cute (and might I say colored perfectly!) little images! OH and Cherry flavored M&M's! I will need to get me some of those! hehe I'm sure the kids are gonna love these, I surely do! Love the red & white striped paper too! I bought a bunch of Valentine's candy so far for treat bags just haven't gotten them made yet. Half the battle it hiding the candy from Shawn! LOL

I am sure the grands will be saying yum- yum gimme some! So cute and clever!

I'm sure the GDK's will have to love them, that's if they open the package. It's so cute I'd hate to open it. I'd want to just leave it in plain site so I could look at it all the time. Enjoy your evening.

Oh, such cute toppers, Carol! What a fun thing to receive.
NO, it would not do for those candies to be in my house. LOL
