Please make sure you leave comments on all of the blogs to have a chance at 7 grand prizes!!! Woo-hoo! Yep 7!!

For my project I made a candy box, now I have had this idea for several months and I finally made my ideas into a project! The candy box is from Joann's bead section (you can also find at Michael's) and it was 50% off so it cost me $1. The candy cost me about $1.50, so my project was about $2.50! I cut the reindeer from Christmas Cheer and I used up some of my sticker stash and used 2 sentiment stickers one that say Merry Christmas that I put over the tinsel like fibers, and the other sentiment sticker that I put next to the deer says "It's a Holly Jolly christmas". I put googly eyes on him and used my i-rock from the red bling. I also put gold stickles on the collar. To adhere all of the paper with my ATG gun I just measured it out and cut it out with my paper trimmer, and went back with my craft knife to trim excess pieces. It was so perfect because I only had to use on sheet of 12x12 paper from the DCVW Christmas stack from Michael's.

Look here! This is snowflake RIBBON wrapped around the entire box!

Mmmmmm chocolate! I am a chocoholic!

#164 Candy Snowglobe card

***This is my 2nd post scroll down for more***

Hey everyone!Welcome back to my blog! Here's a very unique "Think Outside the box" kind of card! I made a candy filled snowglobe just in time for Halloween. I wonder if any stores have every made a candy filled snowglobe, I think that would be a great idea LOL! The candy and the actual snowglobe are from Christmas Cheer, I placed 2 in my Gypsy, flipped one of them and then welded them together. I stamped the sentiment the put the bottom portion in  my cuttlebug then I put some purple chalk ink over the embossed area. I cut the circle layer on a transperancy and put the glitter on the candy, and put a brad on the centers of the candy. This is my 1st time experimenting with transperancies it was thick and hard to cut in my cricut, but that won't stop me from using it. I will add a new tab to my "Right" side bar area for Transperancies so keep and eye out, and remember you may click on those at anytime for some specific inspiration!  Here is the challenge I am entering:

#104 Lollipop card for Cricut Cardz

I made this card for the Cricut Cardz challenge which is to make a card with any theme and only using the colors yellow, orange, blue, black and white. At 1st I had no idea what to make then I decided to make orange flavored candy....maybe because I've been eating so much candy and it's not even Halloween yet LOL!  I cut the lollipops from Mini Monsters and the scroll from christmas Cheer, I haven't really used both of those carts yet so it was nice to think outside the box LOL! I chalked the outer edges of the scroll and stamped the perfect sentiment, I had it all planned out! Then I added swirls to the center of the lollipops and stickles to the blue bows and stickles to the "Sweet" part, and tied a ribbon bow and finally I did some faux stitching to the outer parts of the card.
