Candy Candy Everywhere!

Disclaimer: I lost my camera a couple of months ago, and am borrowing one that I don't know how to use as well, so my photos are blurry and not as good as I would like.


This week's challenge from Lauren is to use one of the my timeless templates to create a package for candy.



I decided to use the Milk Made template (small version) to package up some Jelly Bellies. A couple of weeks ago, Deron and I took a road trip to Chicago, and on the way, we stopped at a Jelly Belly warehouse



We bought 3 bags of Belly Flops that we had planned to repackage and give as gifts to friends.

Here is what I made.






I used kraft cardstock and stamped the images from Little Pieces (SU) in bright colours.

Then I used stickles and liquid pearls to add some dimension to the box.



I love the people that can make very elaborate and multi layered cards and gifts, but that is just not me. I like the quick and simple projects that can easily be re-produced. This fits in that category.

Please visit the rest of the design team, and play along with our candy gift box challenge.

Fall colour challenge

I have a card done for this week's colour challenge, but I haven't had time to photograph it in natural light, and now we are off to visit Deron's parents in Moose Jaw (yes, that is a real city) for the day, so my card will be up probably tomorrow.

Please check out what everyone else did with this challenge!

Simple flowers

A super quick post for me as I am actually almost 2000km from home. Deron and I are on a road trip from our home in Regina, SK to Chicago, IL. We are going to see the U2 concert, and visit a friend from University that is a lawyer in Chicago. I made this card before I left, and am just now uploading it from the road.



This is how I got inspired from the photo below.




Please join in and play along. You don't have to use the colours in the photo, just be inspired by the shapes, colours, design element, texture, anything.

scrappy sketch

It's a Saturday sketch challenge! I made a scrapbook page using this sketch as the inspiration, but I am having camera issues and will have to post the photo in the morning. Update - I was able to finally get the photos to upload to my computer, but they aren't as good as I had hoped.



This is a photo of my sister and her husband in Rome at the coliseum. I distressed the page to give it an aged feel to compliment the coliseum.




The Rome is chipboard covered in white craft ink, then 3 layers of glassy glaze to make the letters look really shinny and stand out against the distressed background.

For now, please try out the sketch yourselves, and make sure you go to Lauren's blog to add your creation to Mr. Linky on her blog.

Also, be sure to check out the rest of the team's creations.
