Back to School - It's Whimsical Wednesday!!!

Hi Everyone!  Happy Wednesday!  This week's challenge at Whimsical Wednesday is to make a Back to School project - anything goes, but no cards this week! 

For my project, I made a 'sweet' candy bar holder for a teacher and/or student.  I haven't decided who is going to receive this sweet treat yet!  :) 

The front of the holder: 



 
The inside:



Materials:
- Candy Bar Holder SVG by SVGCuts
- Apple SVG by My Scrap Chick
- SNF Lollihop font by Lettering Delights
- Alpha stickers by Making Memories
- Gems, pearls and ribbon by Recollections
- School days print by Vickie's Digis
- Large Hershey's candy bar - You may have noticed that I bought the wrong size! 

Thanks for stopping by today!!!  I hope you join the challenge this week!  There are some great Stampin' Up! prizes up for grabs!!!

  5. Melanie, this is such a phenomenal gift! I love the idea of having a sweet treat tucked into a specified 'sweet' box... it's sure to lure a smile, especially on the first day! I love the embossed apple and of course the sparkly accents. Beautiful work, sure to bring a smile to the recipient of this unexpected gift. :o)

    Hugs and blessings!

  8. I love your back to school project. The font is so pretty. Love the little gem on the apple, and the embossing. This would be such a great little gift to tuck into a kids lunch box and when they open it at lunch time they would have a nice surprise and treat. A lot of kids have anxiety about going back to school, so this would be a nice reminder of home. Could even tuck a little note in there. I think this is such a wonderful idea! Great job with the challenge Melanie.
