So now onto my hop project!

I absolutely LOVE fall. I really don't get Fall where I live, but I like the few weeks of cool weather before the rainy season is here. The leaves only change from green to brown so I dont get to experience the vibrant yellows, oranges, and reds! I need to convince hubby to find a job on the East Coast or Northwest!

My most favorite thing about fall is taking my children to the pumpkin patch I went to when I grew up! We go to Bate's Nut Farm and spend an entire day with hayrides, corn mazes, face painting, rock climbling, bouncy houses, pony rides, petting zoos, and pumpkin picking! I have to say that this last year was my most favorite. We had four generations with us and it was a blast! One of the things I love to eat and wait for the entire year is a caramel or candied apple. I just love them and to me, that is Fall in my tummy!

So here are the caramel and candy apples I made.


I used the Puffy Boxes SVG Collection and the Blood Border to create these Caramel and Candy apple gift boxes. I used twigs from a tree that a small tornado dug up from a friends horse ranch.


I used the DCWV's The Homemade Christmas Stack for all the apples! I just LOVE this stack and hope I can find it over the Christmas season again!


I used Co'ordinations Color Core Cardstock for the Caramel and Candy atop the apples. For the Caramel I used Chocolate Mousse and for the Candy I used Redbud.



I hot glued the twigs ontop onf the closure of the box and tied a simple satin and grossgrain ribbon aroudn the base of the twig for a simple embellishment.



I just loved how they turned out and I had actually asked my friend Tonya if she knew what they were and she did. I knew what they were, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one! ;)

Now, what is a blog hop without BlOg CaNdY?

Each of the Design Team members are giving away a gift card to the shop on their blog post for the weekend.

I will be giving away a Grand Prize $30.00 gift card to one random poster. You could get up to THREE entries and the rules to be eligible for the gift card are as follows:

  35. I love Fall, too, and Candy or Caramel Apples are favorites. What you did is fantastic. I have the Puffy boxes file and was wondering what program you used to stretch the border to include the top part of the boxes along with the drips border file. Thanks !
