Title: Candy Topped Love
Hostess: Sarah (SeattleStamper)
Keyword: FEB09VSN10
Day/Date: Saturday January 17, 2009
Time: 09:00 PM (EST)

One of my favorite things to hand out to friends and family on any holiday is a little candy filled bag topped with a cute themed topper. Sure they like the candy but the topper is what they love to see and keeps this treat new and fun each time.

Your challenge is to create a topper for a bag of candy. This can be any size and even just the topper if you don't have candy and/or a cello bag handy, it can always be added later.

My Sample

UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EST ON (SUNDAY, JANUARY 18th

**Supplies needed for this challenge: Candy

Yeah Sarah!! I need to make some of these for Valentine's!

I love any challenge that involves candy! Thanks, Sarah!

Sounds like lots of fun! Thanks!

LOL, now that you mention it Kathrine I bet thats why I thought of it! And making these gives me an excuse to always have a little stash of candy on hand :D

Love the samples!!! I've never seen pink cany corn before!! I can't wait to make this one... and not just because it involves 'testing' the candy!!! LOL

Thanks for a great challenge!!

I agree,the topper is what catches people's eye right away!! Like the jacket of a book...If I like the jacket I open the book...and I like your 'jacket'!

Sweet...pun intended.....lol....

Ok, I have the candy now off to come up with a topper....hmmmm....

I never thought of it like that but you're so right! I mean why else would I open a bag of candy corn? Presentation it everything!

Great idea!!

What a fun idea! I don't think I have any candy (shocking, I know!) But I certainly have cello bags, so I will get to working on this as soon as I grab a snack!

I was at the grocery store! :-) Taste just like the orange kind! ;-)

Awesome challenge. Here's mine workin on picture quality its been off lately hmm oh well:

Is finished making my topper. I will have to buy some more Hershey's Kisses to go under the bag. Think if I hide the bag, it will last until Valentine's Day???

Ohhh this was my first time ever making one and I can't believe how quick and easy it was!! I love them!!!!

Sweet Stuff

DH has some green and red peanut m&m's laying around from Christmas, so I raided them and took the red one's out. I better be careful, you know what they say about the green one's ;)

Some really cute ideas here, Sarah. I kept mine simple: http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...7553?cat=15538

Ok, I struggled with the ribbon for the most of my allotted 45 mins....yikes...but it's done and I like it!! I had just brought home the ribbon from work on Friday...it was going to be thrown out....I knew I'd have to use it during VSN so here it is!!
