Slightly altered candy jar

Morning!

I have this jar at work and before I transformed it it was obviously pretty plain.  I keep a stash of supplies at work for times when I need to take a break the computer.  Most of it is old stuff or items I have multiples of.  Yes, if you came to my desk one of the drawers is full of craft supplies. (hahaha)  

With some scraps of patterned paper, ribbon ric-rac, a couple of pre-colored images and a couple of punches I was able to transform it into a fun candy dispenser for one of my favorite candies, Werther's Original butterscotch candy.

Above is a picture of the side where the jar opens.  On top of the lid are two scallop punches of patterned paper.  I used a brown sharpie pen/marker to give the inside of the scallops a simple design and inside the smaller scallop I wrote Sweet Treats ♥, these are all glued down with Dots.  As you can see there is some pretty blue patterned paper with flowers and stars wrapped around the base of the jar.  I had that pink ric-rac ribbon in my stash so I used that to cover up the top of the patterned paper.   On one side of the jar is my pre-colored Boho-Anya (retired) image from TGF...


I colored her a when she first debuted way back when and she has been hanging out on my computer monitor at work.  On the other side is another image, WS-Annika (also a retired TGF image) I colored up, probably around the same time as this one and she has also been hanging out on my other computer monitor at work...

I colored her using the Copic cool grays.  She's popped on with some double sided Dots.  A very quick and easy transformation. 
Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day!

It's a TGF blog hop!!

Hey everyone!
Today I'm playing & hopping along with a "few" friends who LOVE TGF!  If you've stopped here and want to join the hop, head on over to The Greeting Farm blog and start from the beginning.  There are two amazing prizes to be had but you have to go and leave a comment on everyone's blog.

For those of us who are posting we have a choice of two challenges (a holiday project or general TGF project or both).  I'm planning to play both.  I don't have any projects, but I do have two cards I created for this day.  I'll keep it short cause I know you have more fun and inspiring blogs to hop to.  First up is my Christmas card.  I used the beautiful Miss Snow Anya.  Colored her with classic red and greens and added some fun red & green dp plus some black cs for contrast on a white card.

For my general TGF card I created a graduation card for my cousin who just graduated this weekend from NAU in Flagstaff, Az.  I did a body swap, Boho Anya and Grad Anya.  It's very CAS, but then the image should be the focal point.  Added that fun dp to add a bit of a girly touch.

Alrighty, now head back to the TGF blog for the next blog to hop to..  Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win the whole January release.  That's 6 stamps!!  Enjoy yourself and thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
Leanne
