Welcome Blog Hoppers. You should be coming to me from Trudy's blog. She does such lovely work! Well done Trudy!
I assume you all are in full holiday mode. Stressed out, house in chaos, and everyone dreading the visit from weird Uncle Kenny or Crazy Aunt Thelma. So, thank you for taking time stopping by this blog hop! Please take a moment and use this hop as a way to reclaim a small piece of your sanity before chaos of the really season begins! Enjoy this little journey to happiness, even if only for a moment.
My submission for this blog hop is brought to you by everyone's favorite sugar cookie decoration. SPRINKLES!!
Sprinkles you question?!. Yes! SPRINKLES. Honest to goodness sugar sprinkles!
After watching a few soothing Facebook videos on cookie decorating these past few weeks, I started to wonder if sprinkles would make good shaker card filler. I mean, why not? Sugar doesn't go bad in the foreseeable future so no fear of it damaging your precious card. Besides,there are so many different types of sprinkles available for just about any occasion. Might as well use them up before Uncle Kenny starts sneaking them off the cupcakes!
During my Thanksgiving shopping, I came across the seasonal baking department, and sure enough, loads of fun sprinkles out there. Best part, the large jar I selected was only $1.97! That is sure a heck of a lot cheaper than a jar of chunky glitter! And you definitely don't have to find a place to store it in your craft space. Back to the kitchen pantry it goes when you are done making your card! I bet if you are a holiday baker, you have sprinkles sitting in a cabinet right now! How cute would regular sprinkles be in a Birthday shaker or one for New Years?
So,I humbly submit my Sprinkle creation for your review:
Besides the price of the jar of candy sprinkles, the best part of this embellishment is if you spill any you can always eat them!!
