Crafting Musketeers Guest Designer - Anything Goes

A while ago I won a challenge over at Crafting Musketeers and I was asked if I wanted to be a Guest Designer for a future challenge.  Well, that future challenge is here and the theme is:

Anything Goes

The sponsor is Crafty Ribbons and I used the 35mm fuchsia satin ribbon to tie around the top of the treat jar and to make a nice big bow!  The jar was for a stall at the school Summer Fair - fill it with treats (this one has jelly beans and lollies in (plus a mini bag of haribo's to stop it all from jiggling around!)) and it could be decorated.

So I used off-cuts from Funky Daze cd from Funky Hand - varying sizes of a circle die used, some stuck directly onto the glass with glossy accents and some added with foam pads for extra depth.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

2 Creative Chicks:  Anything Goes No Cards
Crafty Time:  Die Cuts or Punches
Digi Galore:  Summery / Bright
Recycle, Re purpose and Reinvent:  Anything Goes
Sugar and Betty:  Anything Goes

Patriotic Treat Jar

This is one of 4 jars I decorated for the boys' school forthcoming Summer Fair - the brief was to fill a jar with treats and decorate!  I managed to use scraps from my stash - the red and blue papers are from a Funky Hand cd and I've used my X Cut die to make the stars.

And of course, the jar is recycled (dare I say that I found it in the kitchen cupboard with an expiry date of August 2010......)

Some of the stars have been directly stuck onto the jar with glossy accents and others have been added with foam pads for extra depth.  Ribbon was a recent purchase from ebay - a little treat for myself!

These are nice and quick to make - filled with jelly beans (the ones from Lidl as they are only 99p for a big bag and are just as good as the real thing!) plus a treat bag of haribo's to stop everything from jiggling around.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge:  Red, White and Blue
Brown Sugar:  Red, White and Blue
Crafts 4 Eternity:  Red, White and Blue
Frosted Designs:  Red, White and Blue plus Old (the jar - it was dated 2010 in my cupboard!) and New (the ribbon was a recent purchase)
That's Crafty:  Wish Upon A Star
