For participation in the hop, I was sent the Great Gifts CD from Technique Junkies Newsletter, Christmas Joy Stamp Set from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps, and a package containing sheets from the Echo Park – Winter Wishes Collection, along with embellishments from eclectic Paperie. I was asked to pick one project from the Great Gifts CD to make and decided on the Candy Crayon Box.
I followed the tutorial on the CD for the Candy Crayon Box, then took liberties with the embellishments on the outside.
On the CD, the candy inside the box was Rollo’s, but since my favorite if good old Hershey’s Milk Chocolate . . .
I was able to cover two bars and make them fit without crowding the embellishments on the wrapper.
And one more of the candy inside.
That’s all for me and I hope you enjoy the hop and find some great gift ideas along the way! Thanks for stopping by!

That is one beautiful snowflake Sherry! Love your creation!
Great twist on the box! Well done!
I really like your project! I may need to try this technique 🙂
Looks like everyone at work will receive a candy wrapped gift this year for Christmas. The tags look festive and easy enough for me to make 🙂
What a great gift idea! Love your project!

Cute project with one amazingly beautiful snowflake. I do believe I need that die.
Love this COOL project, Sherry! Hersheys are classic. Using the paper to wrap the bar and all the simple snowflake for embellishment makes for one special sweet gift.
Absolutely a must make in my book. Gonna have to do this one, too. 😀
This is a great project and yours are quite beautiful, just love that snowflake 🙂
Great job! Love the yummy wrapped candy bars inside!!

Beautiful gift box with my fav Chocolate! Love how you decorated it and guess I have to put those snowflakes on my Christmas list! TFS.
What a wonderful surprise for someone! Very nicely done and the skate embellishments are dear.
What a great box! You did such a beautiful job!
Really pretty, Sherry. I love the stacked snowflakes!
Dang it, now that Spellbinders Create A Flake is on my wishlist, :-). I love how you kept the candy box from being to busy by minimizing the designer paper because it lets your gorgeous snowflake embellishment really shine. It’s gorgeous!!!!!
Wonderful box. I love the little skaters!
