Who doesn't love the sugary gooey goodness called Peeps?? Well, have you even seen they have more colors of the rainbow AND different shapes like bunnies now? I wanted to showcase my Chicky from Just so Hoppy so I bought the traditional ones. They are two boxes so I wanted to put them in special packaging. How about a gum/candy slider? Since it is two boxes, the lovely lilac only went to far so I needed to add cardstock to the middle. Good enough, but it needed to be decorated. I used my big polka dots & daisies jumbo wheel (retired SU! but I'm not totally sure that is the name or not) which was the first time I used it. Well, look how well it goes with the chicks and the small flower they are holding from Just so Hippy (I pulled it from my for sale pile which I haven't posted yet because I keep finding all these sets I still want to keep).
Here it is open - cute, huh? Wonder how I got the jagged edge of the Yoyo yellow cardstock to look like teeth? I sure don't have any decorative edge scissors like that - so this is what I did with my small star punch...what do you think??
Hope you have a great weekend! I know I have a busy one ahead, have to finish up my taxes, prepare for stamp club next weekend, work on my nephew's baby shower stuff still and stamp for fun, of course! Phew...I'm tired thinking about all this fun! Oh and it's
Cupcake Friday on Taylor's blog so I need to do my challenge (one part of my challenge I accomplished this morning-I made REAL cupcakes! Banana ones, yumm-o!) Oh and
Beate's WSC38 - I already did a card this morning - will upload soon.

I HEART this project!!! PEEP!!
(i din't read carefully enough the first time (sounded like you had the hippys in the sale pile at first-noooooooooooooo!!!!!!
Oh my gosh!! Cute, cute, cute!!!!
Love this one!!!!! My oldest was born Easter Weekend and I made sure my parents brought me Peeps to the hospital--I love Peeps, especially when they're a little stale.
and I will say that you're a more patient person than I am because I would not punch that many times for a cool border :-) I have a hard enough time with my corner punch for a scalloped edge ;-)
