First Birthday Party Favor

Our grandson turned one in the middle of August and I wanted to add a little something to his party on top of everything his parents already had planned. 


The party theme was Monkey as it is their pet name for him so I went with the theme and did this ......

They turned out better than I anticipated.  

The 250ml chocolate milk is from our local dairy, Blackwell Dairy, and were  the perfect size for what I wanted to do.  

I removed the label and wrapped the container with our Babycakes patterned paper and then on regular Colonial White cardstock, I stamped the monkeys using C1558 - Wild Wonders stamp set, and the sentiment using D1407 - Piece of Cake stamp set (retired).  I used Chocolate Ink since it was the perfect Monkey color and went with the chocolate milk, too!

For the lid I just punched some circles into the Babycakes paper and then overlapped that with a monkey stamped circle. Fit perfectly.

Thanks for looking!

Babycakes featuring my handsome grandson

Today was supposed to be filled with meeting new people, eating pizza and a whole lot of cropping.  Did you notice the 'supposed'???

Instead of having a fun-filled day at an all-day crop, I am home with one doozy of a chest cold.  A hurts-too-much-to-cough kind of chest cold.

So, I am spending my day in the warmest room in my house - my craft room - courtesy of my dish heater.  I'm not getting as much done as I MAY have at the crop, but I am getting some crafting done.

Did this layout this morning and am working on another one but got tired of poking pieces out of Cricut cut snowflakes.  Took five minutes for one 6 inch piece and still have two to go.  LOL
