Stop and Smell the Jelly Beans

Hey Everyone!

   Man does those Jelly Beans smell good! This is one of the hard times of the year for me. All of the sweet goodness that is in the stores right now are so tempting. I must confess, I have already been through two bags of Reese Cup Easter Eggs and a handful of Jelly Beans. I can't help myself, Reese Cups are my favorite and the Eggs are just so much better.

I have Cristina to blame for my Jelly Beans purchase! This week, the new Companion Challenge at Crafting With Cristina, is to make an Easter project using something you'd normally throw away.

I love me some Starbucks (who doesnt?) and my go to drink when it's warm outside is the Mocha Fraps you can buy in grocery stores or gas stations. I bought a four pack from my grocer and I am happy to say that they all will be used! Three will hold paper straws in the colors of my daughter's birthday and the fourth is pictured below.

Im not sure exactly where the patterened paper is from but my guess is K & Co a stack for babies. This was one of the first stacks I bought so it's been awhile! I loved the pastel look which is perfect for Easter. The tulle is leftover from my daughter's high chair tutu (I promise, only a couple more weeks of birthday mentions lol). The sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's Stamps (Spring Fling) and the bunny is from Create A Critter.

This project was super easy and simpe I almost felt like I was cheating lol. The hardest part about it was the cap because I still havent found a replacement circle cutter!
