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!

Back 2 School

Hey!!

I'm poppin' in to share a quick tag I made using The Greeting Farm's, WS Annika (retired).  I've had this little gal colored for a year, maybe more and she's been hangin' out on my computer at work.  I saw the latest or almost over FFF challenge, Back to School, so I thought I'd create a quick tag.

She's colored in grays so I thought something fun and bright for the back drop.  I found that dp in my stash and also that red cs.  I made that apple by hand which didn't take me that long.  I love how it turned out.  The sign is handwritten.  I drew in the lines with pencil and used a blue Sharpie for the words.  I thought it would be fun to create the same line paper we all know and love from when we first started writing way back in Kindergarten.  Now kids are learning how to write in pre-school!!  Craaaazy!!

Wow, it's been forever since I used a TGF stamp.  I've forgotten how much I love them.  Will need to play with them more, especially since I have most of them.  hehehe...

Okie dokie, hope everyone is having a great day.  And for those of us in So Cal, try to stay cool!!  Mahalo for stopping by!

Hugs,
Leanne
