Chris Olsen, Glowbug
Hi! I am Chris, also known as Glowbug on Splitcoaststampers. I live in Appomattox, VA. I so much enjoy blogging and the so many good friendships that have formed as a result. During my free time, I am creating cards or projects and I so enjoy Challenges. I have a very supportive husband, Scott, who understands my addiction and two young daughters,Meghan, 9 and Nicki, 12 years of age, who can't wait to get their hands on my stamps and embellishments. I was an elementary school teacher until my youngest was born. I have now been blessed with the opportunity to teach my two girls at home. I use stamping as a hobby or way to escape.

Happy Thursday Everyone!!  I hope all is well!! Today I am popping in with a few different projects!!  I guess I am tired of just making cards so I decided it was time to switch it up a bit.

Anywho...today is the Divine Diva challenge.  Lori sent the team this link to a hostess sight showing Fall and Thanksgiving Day treats.  I chose this photo as my inspiration:

Doesn't this look yummy!!  I just had to make caramel apples and a treat container.  Here is my take on the challenge.  This is my entire project for the Diva challenge.

 Here is my treat container that I created with an altered Recollections Flower container from Michaels, some muslin fabric and the digi apple image (Apple a Day Digital set) which I colored with copics from Designed to Delight.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up.  I just loved the wood lid and had to leave it uncovered.  The circle shape with the glass blobs on it is created with the Spellbinders Bead it Circles.  The label for the sentiment uses the from Labels 13 die from Spellbinders.  The doily under the treat jar is created by fraying some Muslin and stamping leaves from the Your Next Stamp Autumn Greetings set.  I added stitching on my image panel.

The contents of the jar includes 1/2 a Granny smith and Red Delicious apple chopped.  A large heath bar chopped into small pieces (or 4 small) and caramel sauce at the bottom. Yum!!!

Here is my Caramel apple that I created and rolled in nuts so it would not stick to my packaging.  The image is a digital freebie (two apples) from Designed to Delight.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up.  The nestabilities used are the Lacey circles from Spellbinders and the Scalloped Circles.
