BLOG CANDY ALERT!
Wow! Can you believe it? Today is the LAST DAY of the Create with Connie & Mary Occasions Edition preview period! Over the past two weeks each member of our design team had a FREE special project to share…I'm the LAST one!. I am SOOO excited to be sharing my project AND BLOG CANDY…a FREE subscription to Create with Connie and Mary!!! See details below!
What do you get for your Create subscription fee? You get a new project EVERY DAY Sunday through Friday (with at LEAST TWO FULL TUTORIALS EACH WEEK) and a fun challenge on Saturday to join (and have the opportunity to win prizes at the end of the 5 weeks). For those projects not having a full tutorial, we provide you with an easy to download and print project sheet! HOW COOL IS THAT!
Today is the LAST DAY we will be offering a special subscription rate of $24.95 for 5 weeks of daily ideas using the stamps and products in the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Mini Catalogs! This is $5 off the regular 5 week price of $29.95. Early Bird Pricing ends tonight, January 22nd at 11 pm EST! So DON’T DELAY! Head on over to the Create with Connie and Mary site to subscribe or click on the right of my sidebar!
I love altering 3D items and these Nugget Tins have been so much fun! I usually fill them with candy…but wanted to do something different with them! If you are like me, you probably have them in your stash! I used the Love Impressions and Love Patterns Designer Papers to make my game, along with the Naturally Serif Strip Die!
I’m not going to go into a lot of details on my project because, if you head over to the Create with Connie and Mary site, you will have access to a FREE FULL TUTORIAL on how to make my project. This will give you an idea of the type of projects and how we present the tutorials to our subscribers.
EVERY project comes with EITHER a step-by-step tutorial (like I’ve put together for this project) or a downloadable project sheet. This makes it easy for you to print off the material to use either personally or in your classes!

This was a quick and easy game to make! For younger children, you can have them spell the word from a selection of 4-5 letter hearts. For older children, they can learn their spelling words from the entire selection! I did make duplicates of some of the letters so that more words could be made. Oh…and I used a different designer paper (Love Patterns) for the vowels, so they could learn to distinguish between them!
And…I used hearts, but think of other dies you could use throughout the year! Wouldn't these be great to sell at Craft Fairs, too?

That box is the cutest. Thanks for sharing.

This is an awesome project. Thanks for sharing and the chance for a free subscription.
Wow! Cute idea! Thanks for the great blog candy, too!
What a great idea to make a game to put in your tin!
This is a neat idea. I will try to make one for my youngest.
Brilliant idea Connie! As a retired teacher I can't tell you what a wonderful idea this is! My daughter is a 3rd grade teacher and she was thrilled when I told her about it too. How nice not to always give candy, the kids get too much of it on the holiday. Two thumbs up from this household!!
What a fun project! I just subscribed and can't wait for "class" to begin!!
I love those tins and I love all of your fabulous projects! I'm glad some of you are SO creative so that the rest of us can copy and enjoy!
I am excited about the class. I love all your ideas. And you have such a variety with the many different demonstrators on your team.
Great little game–I am a preschool teacher, so I am trying to decide just how I want to use this. Please enter me so I can keep seeing all your pretties!!
Thanks and God bless,
Bonnie S
Thanks for always sharing such neat ideas. Now over to download your project sheet.
I love this idea! I work with a bunch of school teachers and most of them have young children. I'd love to do this for gifts. I really enjoy your site and hope to win a subscription!

I LOVE this game idea. This will be perfect for sending to my 6 year-old stepgrandson. (His mom will be getting chocolate!)
What an adorable gift idea! I would love to make some of these!
Connie what a cute game. I will have a lot of fun with my grandbabies with this. Thank you for sharing.
Very clever and fun game! I love the hearts too. Thanks for the chance to win!
What a fun idea. Too bad my furry son wouldn't play with this, other than chew it to pieces. I will have to keep this idea in mind for others maybe at Christmas or a birthday. It would be fun for Easter egg shapes – fall leaves maybe. Thanks for sharing.
What a cute game idea. LOVE IT!!
Connie, I love this. So cute and educational too! What a fun project! I'd love to win your blog candy subscription!
What a wonderful project!!! Thanks for sharing!

Just found your blog and love the projects and cards. My Grandkids will love this game. Four of the 5 are in Kindergarten and preschool so will be a great ABC and word game! Thanks, Marci

What a cute idea! Thanks for the chance to win a subscription!
Hugs!
What a fun, educational game for any age actually! Love how you designed the hearts with DSP and fancy lettering to fit in the nugget tin. Actually, the new clear mount stamp cases would also work for those of us who don't have nugget tins. : ) Thanks, Connie, for the great tutorial and chance at blog candy!
What a wonderful game! I downloaded the tutorial and plan to make it for my son – great spelling/reading reinforcer. I love things like this (it's the teacher in me). Thanks for sharing this wonderful project and for the chance to win!
Sandy
How in the world do you think of all of these groovy ideas?

Hi Connie. I'm in for the blog candy because I LOVE your style! (I also subscribed but winning won't hurt ) Can't wait to see what's next!
I like the use of different colors for the letters, it will help the little ones remember the categories. My nieces would like this game.

Wow – great game idea. Would love a change to win the tutorial subscription!
Gorgeous idea what a great gift. Pick me to win the offer!
Wow..Connie..what a wonderful idea for those little tins!! I have one emptied from candies that would make a cook game box for my grandkids!! TFS!! Hope I win… would love to have the opportunity to try the tutorials!
How fun! I can picture this with different punches and papers. Thank you for sharing such a fun idea!
Very cool game Connie. Love the way you distinguished the vowels too…helpful for us oldsters too – lol! And especially thank you for sharing the free preview.

I love this idea, a light weight fun game we could even take camping.

Wow! Thanks bunches for sharing the tutorial and for the chance to win a year membership! I have to make one of those games for my grand-daughter!
Oh, how I would love to win this. I'm actually late (sob) to sign up but thinking of doing so anyway. Wonderful idea of the game.
What an adorable idea and it can be made for any occasion – using different punches – ornaments for Christmas, Pumpkins for Halloween……….love it – great learning tool for the little ones!
What a fun project and very colorful! I can see other sets with the same general idea for little ones. Make learning so much fun!
Connie this project is sooooooo cute. I love it and you are right about all the other options for this theme. Thanks so much for sharing.
How fun! I have 27 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren, ranging in age from "on-the-way" to 25. So this will be lots of fun for most of them. What a simple and wonderful game. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. Such a talented lady!
I love the ABC Game. So cute! What a great idea!

I just love your creativity! My Grandchildren will just loveit! Thank you so much!
This is such a great idea for children! I work full time in Kindergarten and we have some children that struggle with their letters. This is a FUN way to learn!
What a cute idea. This would be perfect for the trailer when we camp! A good idea to get them to learn without them thinking they are learning!
A very sweet idea. Thanks for the tutorial and the chance to win. New to you site via Paper Punch Addiction but I will be back.
Love the box with the cute spelling game! I'm going to share this with my teacher friends.
