Lolly Lolly Lolly.....

Get your adverbs here.....umm sorry I was channeling my inner School House Rock for a moment....back to the post....

Simple.....I like simple. AND easy. Yes, simple and easy, that's me! HA! Actually I have been wanting to use this little box since he arrived in my latest Denami order. And since it came in the same order with this little lolly - then why not use them together - right?

I used Crystal Laquer on the Lollies to make them pop but once again my photography skills are lacking and you can't really see it - but trust me its there and its yummy!

Stamps used:TR14 Candies Trifle set, F208 Open Box, F148 Thanks a Bunch

Ghostie Suprise

I’m gonna be totally honest with you, when I first saw the open box I was not liking it at all. I actually thought to myself…”Now what would you possibly do with something like that?” Then I saw a little card done up with hearts floating up out of the box by Amber…and the good Lord said Let There Be Light…low and behold, the light bulb clicked on...ohhhhhhhhh duh!!!! So many possibilities!! I have been in puffy heart love with this little guy ever since! It’s a stamp everyone should have.

Heck, anything can pop out of a box…hearts, balloons, critters and even ghosties…

I love the spiders...if you look closely, you can see I added fluff to them.

What do you mean there are other colors besides pinks and purples....

Soooo, the other day I made a card for a challenge and put it up on my "all things crafty" blog. I made the comment that I can't believe I actually used blue. I like blue...it's a pretty color, but I just never reach for it when making a card. Well, some smarty pants, and I'm not one to start naming names or anything, *cough-Wendy-cough*, sorry, something in my throat...where was I...ohh yeah, I was informed by someone that there were other colors on the color wheel and that I should try them out.

I'm taking baby steps....I used my usual purple, but paired it with kraft and green. I have to say that someone was right...I'm feelin the purple / green combo....shhh, just don't tell her! (again, no bling...it's killing me but my cards are designated for OWH)

I wanted the balloons to look like they were floating up out of the box when it was opened so I knew I would pop them up on foam tape, but I really wanted more of an effect than that. I had the little twirly guy from the leaf accent set sitting out from a different project and it hit me that I could use it to show off my floating balloons. Ohh, and did ya notice how I changed up the sentiment...

Supplies:

PF14 party time stamp set
PF51 leaf accents stamp set
F208 open box
