Trick or Treat…
Happy Monday All! I had a great time this weekend. I taught at Scrapper’s Boutique on Saturday and then on Sunday we went to the Fort Worth Zoo with some friends and their kiddos. Ellie scraped up her knees pretty good when she was running around after lunch, but was cheered up quickly with a chocolate ice cream cone and front row seats to the animal show.
Today I am excited to show you a cute lil’ project featuring another one of the Organizer Boxes from Glue Art & Paper Studio. I turned this one into a sweet candy holder for Halloween. It doubles as decor for my front table…BONUS! Just don’t ask how long the candy will last between now and Halloween!
The lettering is from the Slice Spook Alley design card {love this card!} and is cut from Bazzill Swiss Dots black paper…
A couple more detail shots {I couldn’t resist posting the lollipop one!}…
Since the box comes “bare,” I started by painting it black with a foam brush. I like using a foam brush because I am less likely to get streaky lines that are sometimes left behind from a bristle brush. The pumpkin paper on the front is from Reminisce and is matted with white cardstock for a tiny bit of “pop.” The green paper that is punched with a Martha Steward border punch and stitched on is from My Little Shoe Box {such a cute co. name!}. The black polka dot paper on the sides is from Martha Stewart. On top of that black polka dot paper I die cut a couple of spiderwebs with the Spook Alley design card. Finally, I dumped put some colorful lollipops in to make it complete. Before I forget the itty-bitty details…the bat punch is from Martha Stewart and I covered them in black Stickles and the black rhinestones are Taylor’s Tiny Twinkles.
So darn cute!
Many Blessings,

This project is so cute! Perfect for halloween treats! I grew up in Ft. Worth and loved going to the Ft. Worth zoo when I was a kid (before they remodeled it). We went about 3.5 yrs ago when I was visiting family - it has changed so much, but is so wonderful! I can’t wait to go back and visit again.

Super cute project! That’s a really fab design card. I might have to check it out further, especially for the ‘boost’ feature. I really like all the details you put into the box. The spider web sides are a great detail. TYS!
