I started out by with the small plastic storage bags from Hobby Lobby and cut the top zip lock part off. I then added five candy hearts and a little notebook to them and tied it with a ribbon.
Next, to make the tags, I used the Storybook Cartridge to cut a tag out in two sizes (red glitter for the background and white for the top layer). I then printed the sentiment on the computer and taped the cricut cut over the sentiment and reprinted it directly onto my cuts. Finally, I added a small red button to the tags.
Now, I punched a hole in the top of these and used another piece of ribbon to attach them and the bag of candy to the shovel. I also added a couple of large glue dots to the back of the candy bags to make sure they stay securely on the shovels.
I am entering these into the following challenge:

Where did you find the shovels? I Love this. I did this one year for my boys but I only had to buy 2...

My mom and sister found them at the Dollar General. They came in packs of 3 (red, yellow and blue). So, now I have a good bit of yellow and blue shovels that I will have to think of something to do with.
