You color my world

Hello!

Happy Sunday!  Today I have a fun simple card using some scraps and flowers.  Totally not my style, but it was fun to come up with something to use up the scraps.


My mojo is slowly coming back, and I'm going to take advantage of the long weekend to slowly coax it back from vacay.  lol.  Hope you're all having an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend.  Thanks for stopping by!  Happy crafting!

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!
