TGF's October Retrofresh -- I Want Candy!

Hello! It's October and time for The Greeting Farm's monthly Retro-Fresh challenge. The theme this month is I Want Candy! Anything related to candy is good to go and it doesn't have to be a Halloween theme either.

I went with Halloween and colored up the little guys from the Spooktacular set. I have them in rubber stamps but now they are available as digis. I used my convenient orange cup from Walmart and made this lollipop treat holder.

Here is another view. In the cup I layered some tissue paper on the bottom and then added a piece of styrofoam to stick the lollipops and skewers through.

Another view. I added black crepe paper and some green grass and you can spot some plastic spiders which used to be rings but I cut the ring part off. A pretty simple Halloween treat. Probably will give this to one of the teachers.

Hope you'll all be joining us this month! Please hop over to TGF's blog to see all the challenge details and the rest of the DT's creations!

Thanks for reading!

So cute! Love those halloween images, I'm always debating about getting those digis, but here it is almost Halloween again and no time to make anything. Nice recycling of the spider rings.

Your cup craft is such a good idea. I'm thinking of the kiddie friends that we usually give treats to. I wouldn't be able to make it fancy- schmancy like yours but the cup itself is a nice touch. Thanks for the being creative!

nuts and bolts

Hello! Today I'll be sharing the last amigurumi I made during my crochet frenzy. I haven't been crocheting much recently except for this one little project I'm kind of procrastinating with. I really do love this last one because I think it came out really cute. This is a little crocheted robot designed by Bubblegum Belles . You can find the pattern HERE . Sometimes I purchase the patterns especially if they are really cute. But a lot of designers do list their patterns for free too on their blogs so I always check to see if they have a blog or not. It's also important to read their pattern listing too if you are purchasing to see whether they are for personal use or also for commercial use. Here is a different view of him. Happy that he is able to sit on his bottom. I actually cut out 2 felt hearts using a heart die, blanket stitched them together, and then hot glued the heart to the robot. I tried stitching one h...

Perfect Paper Crafting & Laura My Mind's Eye Pam Jenny Eva (Me!) Roxie Recently, I saw these layering tags dies and thought I really wanted those. I love the look of layered tags so I used my Perfect Layers rulers to make some with My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting papers. I have a tag die from Papertrey Ink so I used that as my smaller tag. I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...

Snowman gift card holder

Hi! I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences. It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts. I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one. It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch. The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card. I added this fun card that I stamped. You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks. I hope I can make more of these little guys. These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire throug...
