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!

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

Hi! After finishing up these 2 projects for TGF's Blog Hop , I've come to realize that I am kind of addicted to stamps, especially TGF stamps. Hehe. Okay, I will not babble on too much since there are lots of other blogs to check out as well. I made something for both categories, Holiday and General. First up is my Holiday card. I recently acquired Hippie Anya! She inspired me to make a "peace" card for the holidays. But then I had to add Fleur Anya for "love" ... and 80s Anya for "joy." So great that these stamps could be turned into something Christmas-y. My General project has been swimming in my mind ever since I made that counting book a while back with TGF stamps as well. I thought I could make an ABC book too. But I didn't make this into a book. More like flashcards, I suppose. My youngest has a hard time recognizing lower case letters so I thought this would be fun for him. All stamps are TGF. I ...

I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

Hello everyone! I am back with my latest sewing creations. I have been playing around with plastic wrappers! I've seen those upcycled plastic wrap bags and purses (usually made from Capri Sun package juice) but never really paid attention to them or how they were made until I saw this tutorial using the wrappers from Pokemon cards. My boys love Pokemon cards and were just throwing the wrappers away but I started saving them and collected enough from their recent birthdays to make a couple of items. Here is a little coin pouch (didn't want to call it a purse since it's for my youngest boy and he'd probably not like that). This little pouch was made with 4 wrappers, 2 in front and 2 in back. It is a bit tough to turn right side out because the wrappers and contact paper get stiff. But it's possible and looks really neat! I made it so he could hang it from the inside of his backpack and also carry around a little bit of emergency...
