Hello There,  this is Jami Larson (Cricut Farmer) from http://thepaperfarm.blogspot.com/ with a project that I did awhile back but wasn't allowed to share it, as it was selected for The Ultimate Creative Series DVD set.  This fun project is a backpack made out of a box of graham crackers with a pocket that holds the chocolate bars in an acetate pocket on the front and a cellophane bag filled with marshmallows.

I covered the top, bottom and back with craft paper leaving the sides open so you could see it was graham crackers.  I attached ribbons to the back to look like the straps on a backpack as well as a loop at the top for the hanging piece.  I welded the letters and inked the top edge to look like toasted marshmallows.  The characters are cut from the Create a Critter cartridge and added to the front pocket.

The marshmallows on the sticks were made by using a corner rounder on a couple of squares with the top edge being inked and attached to a stick from the yard.  I don't have the exact dimensions of everything but it is all stored in my Gypsy.  I know that I can post the project but am not really sure about posting all of the exact dimensions since it was featured on the DVD set.   It's a pretty simple project so am hoping you will be able to adjust it to whatever size you decide to go with.
