Who Wants Candy???

Every month or so, my mom, sisters and I get together for a girtls' day out.  Most times we go to my single sister's house where the distractions of kids and husbands is absent.  Often we invite my daughter, who is a senior in high school.  Now that I have a daughter-in-law, we invite her too.  And every so often, each of us brings a little gift for the others.

Here is my gift to each of them for October.  I had such fun coloring Winnie, a Squigglefly digi image, for this week's challenge, that I had to make more.  Then I found a fantastic deal at Goodwill, and as you can see, I have a candy box for each of them!!

These little houses even came with the little scoop you see in the forefront of the photo.  I really had a hard time embellishing the container--not because I didn't have enough Halloween goodies to put on--I had too many!!  I wanted people to be able to see the goodies inside, so I had to be very conservative with my embellishments.

I lined the bottom of my box with felt fusions black spider webs.  Lucky I had some spray adhesive--nothing else worked!!  I attached a piece of patterned paper to the oputside bottom of the box, with the pattern viewable from the inside.  I also attached another piece to the back protion of the roof.  A Halloween sticker sits on the front of the roof, and a few stars are scattered around the sides of the box.

Winnie, by artist Jane Beljo, stands waiting to welcome guests to take their treats.  I colored her with Copics and used dimensional tape to attach her.  The front part of the roof opens, and the scoop has a slot in which it rests with the handle sticking out, just like at those bulk candy stores.

Do you like Winnie?  She's available for purchase--the nice thing about digi's is that you get them FAST! right to your email.  You can also resize them, turn them around and even print in different colors (although I haven't tried that one yet LOL).  Go check out the Squigglefly Store and after you get some images, join us at Squigglefly Challenge Blog for a chance to win some images FREE!
