S'Mores in a Jar

Yes that is right... S'mores in a jar!

What could be better? Combining the flavors of the familiar campfire treat with the seasonal sweetness of Peeps ® brand marshmallow candies.  And the cool thing is...you can change the theme for each holiday.  So cool!  These make great gifts for teachers, too!

So let's check out our Easter S'mores in a Jar!

You will need one  1 canning jar, quart-size with lid and ring.

Then layer the ingredients below:

1 sleeve graham crackers (about 10 crackers or 1 1/2 cups of crushed crackers)
1 large package seasonal peeps ® brand marshmallow candies
¹/₃cupbrown sugar, packed
1 ¹/₄cupchocolate chips or seasonal m&ms brand milk chocolate candies.


Once you have your mason jar stuffed with yummy goodness, put the lid and ring on securely. Decorate as you wish. I used a paper ruffle, and a sticker border.

Then it's time to create your own gift tag with this S'Mores In A Jar Recipe: Here's Mine!

S'Mores In A Jar Recipe

Empty jar into large bowl. Remove marshmallows and combine remaining ingredients, mixing well.

Snip marshmallows into small pieces with scissors. Return to bowl; stir into dry mix.

Melt 1/2 cup butter, and add melted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/3rd cup buttermilk to bowl. Mix well.

Press lightly into greased 9-by-9 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Then the really fun part....decorating the front of your tag.  Here's what I did with mine!

I printed out our little angel onto Bazzill smooth white card stock. You can get her here. She is from Scrapper"s Delights, the host of our great blog hop. Then I colored her in with my Copic Markers. I finally got to use my neon colors! The green pleated paper is "perfectly Pleated" from Bazzill Basics, the flower stickers and border stickers are TPC Studio's Sunny Bunny Sticker Sheet. I used a dark pink brad and orange and green twine to tie the tag onto the jar lid.  

Here is a close up of our little bunny girl. I gave her blond hair and blue eyes. I used pink, orange and green as my color theme.


Now let's take a look at the finished project!  I am going to give this to a friend for Easter.

Don't forget to leave a comment and head on over to the next blog.
Good luck winning a great prize!

Guess What? You're 6!

Guess What?  You're 6!

Hi Everyone!  I made this card using the cutest little digi from Scrapper's Delights.  I wanted to do a birthday card for a little girl with non-traditional colors.  I went with the blues and a punch of bright yellow. Above you can see how I matted the blue card stock onto a blue based patterned paper, and then matted that onto a larger piece of the same blue card stock.  I used some felt butterfly ribbon and yellow sticker letters for the wording.  I finished the front with some colorful brads.

Let's look a the inside and meet our cute little girl from Scrapper's Delights!  

There she is, popping right out of the card, holding up six fingers! How cute is she.  I printed out two of her one on ultra smooth card stock and then another of the same size on the patterned paper.  I colored her in using a combination of Copic Markers and Prisma Color colored pencils.  Her skirt was cut out of the patterned paper I printed her out on.  I pleated and used my Copic Markers to create shadows on the pleats, further giving her skirt dimension. I used more of the yellow stickers to spell out "You're" and I used a white chipboard number 6 that I painted white and gave it some sparkle with some Stickles. Everything was held together with Helmar's 450 Quick Dry.  If you haven't been over to Scrappers Delights...you must...they have some of the cutest and unique digis that I have seen!
