Saturday Spotlight- Slumber Party Triangle Treat box

8:53 PM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Saturday Everyone!! I hope everyone has a great beginning to their weekend!! I spent the day making applesauce to freeze yesterday. It is such a messy job but so gratifying when it is done. Our house still smells like apples. I am also so thankful that my dad went for his appointment to the urologist yesterday, had the catheter removed and is improving with each day!!!

Well anywho...Today is another Sat urday Spo tlight Challenge. Vicki has challenged the team to create a treat box or container.
With the up-coming Halloween/Fall and Christmas Season upon us, it seems like this is a great time to get your "sweet treats" made up!! With Halloween one week from today...there's no better time like the present to start creating them!! Show us your "hidden potential" with your own version of a treat container!!
Vicki even has a tutorial available to you for a hanging treat box that she created here. The dt has created quite a variety of treat boxes to share with you!!! We hope this challenge and our creations inspire you to create as well. We have so enjoyed visiting all of your blogs to see your take on the challenge each week!

This week's sponsor is Firecracker Designs!

Pamela has very generously donated TWO adorable Fall style stamp sets to our challenge winner this week!

MY TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE

For my treat container or box, I decided to create a triangle treat box. It is hard to see the shape in this photo. Sorry!! There is a tutorial on SC for this type of treat box but I had to improvise and change mine up quite a bit because it was just too small for the goodies I planned to put in the inside (hot chocolate, marshmallows, microwave popcorn and chocolate). The SC tutorial can be found here. My intention was to make a little treat for my girls to have on our Fall Family Movie/Slumber Party night on Halloween Weekend. Isn't this image darling?!! It is one of the newer stamps released from Inky Impressions called Lili's Slumber Party. I made it purple for my daughter, Nicki, who loves purple!

The cardstock to create the treat box is dry embossed as is the oval behind Lili.

If you should decide to create a treat box for this challenge, please leave a direct link to your creation on Mr. Linky here. If you upload your creations to SC please the keyword SSHP04. We all look forward to seeing your creations.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for your comments. They mean so much to me. Have a blessed day and weekend!

Nicole (Inky's Mama) said...: First, I would like to say that I'm glad that your father is doing better with each day and I will definitely keep him in my prayers.

Secondly, Share the wealth girlfriend! I love applesauce!!! I would love to have your recipe. :) I've made it before, although it has been several years. LOL I have always just used apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, a touch of white sugar & then obviously a bit of water. Is that how you make yours? I love to try new recipes that friends use..... :) Aw man, now I sooo... wish I had some stinkin' applesauce. (hehehe)

Okay, onto your lovely box! I think it is really pretty. I know Nicki will just love it! And I have to say, what a great idea to make Halloween night a time for fun & games with your family! That is so sweet. Thanks for being such an awesome friend & Inky DT girl, Chris! You rock girlfriend!

BIG HUGS!

Do What You Love said...: Chris, this is a fantastic goody bag. I love that purple. I really love the embossing. You did a fab job and how creative of you to know how to improvise to make it the size you want. Sometimes it works when I have to do that - most times it doesn't. LOL! Thank you so much for the kind comments you left on my blog. I am glad even more so because I had a chance to skim your entire blog and boy is it filled with beautiful creations. I see you couldn't do without your Cuttlebug - I'm learning ot appreciate mine. :D I'm glad your dad is better - too bad he had to spend his birthday in the hospital!

Gina Lindsay said...: I love your treat box! I really like the purple. A family movie/slumber party sounds like a lot of fun.

I have never thought bout freezing applesauce. I am just starting to really learn what I can freeze that will thaw out well and that was one I didn't think about. I just made applesauce last week, but only made what we were going to be eating. Thanks for that tidbit of knowledge!; October 24, 2009 at 2:55 PM
