Adminastration Apresation Treat Holder - PP

I made a Treat Holder for one of the Admins in the group, because she had accidentally sent me a treat holder thinking I was her partner for a swap back around Christmas time. She told me just to keep it and she will make another one for the right partner. I have been wanting to make one for her in return.

I made little coin pockets, the edges had a tiny tab that were glued down. Then I placed crafting clips (Dollar tree has these by their crafts) to make sure they held. Left them overnight and then applied glue to the center of each pocket.

              

  The treats I filled the pockets with!

 

I wanted the pattern to wrap around the top of the holder. Finished Holder.

Sketch Challenge

I really wanted to use up some papers that had been in my stash for a while. But, I was having a hard time getting it to work. Until I found this one page layout challenge. My daughter had just got a new loft bed and it all just worked!

Here is the sketch:

So, after turning the sketch on it's side. I got her page done.

Used Cricut CTMH Artbooking for the circle cut at 5 1/2" (trimmed to half that I wanted).
