My Little Helper...
On Sunday when I was at Pamela's house she had a lovely gift for everyone. One of the ladies got a box filled with these York Peppermint Patties decorated with pumkins and scalloped circles. She had picked up the pumpkin stamp at Joann's for a buck and lucky me she didn't mind that I stamped a bunch of them to make my own for a Halloween treat for my 4th Graders at our Friday Crafting Class. Tonight my Little V. helped me punch and assemble the treats, he's such a great crafter! I bought the largest bag of peppermint patties, not the extra large patties but the one bite patties. One bag made 37 party favors with 3 patties left over for the taste tester.
I used the 2" EK Success Scalloped Punch and the 1 1/2" Nesting Circle Punch for this project. One scallop on the bottom, one on the top and add the pumpkin in the center. We used a small piece of double stick tape to stick everything together. Little V did most of the punching - didn't he do a great job?

Just stopping by to say, These are the cutest with a capital C! I've been following your blog for a few weeks and finally decided to leave you a little thank you for all of the yummy eye candy you post. I've really enjoyed and have been greatly inspired by you and your work. Having been trained originally as a graphic artist and new to altered art, I truly love your crisp clean style. I will be visiting your etsy store! Congratulations on all of your successes!
