I was inspired by the glass and the little floral package toppers. So I just had fun and added a boatload of sweet little elements using these happy colors.
My project began by searching for candies in pink, orange and yellow wrappers. Sounds easy huh...not so. I thought with all of the Easter goodies filling the stores I would snap up something pretty quickly. Finally I found a bin full of Starbursts...whew ~ my plan was not to be foiled! I filled my little jar and then went to work on the decorating. I started with adding this cute orange polka dot fabric with orange & white twine. Next I used the PTI medium scalloped border to die cut their pink Hibiscus Burst felt. Isn't this over sized ball fringe fun ~ I found it at Joann's!!! I used my mini hot pink staples to attach it to the felt border then added the strip to the jar with score tape. I played around with a paper doily to bring it down to the jar lid size. I folded in half over and over, unfolded then worked the little pleats. I made two small folds in the center. The center was kind of bunched, but I knew it would be covered. Love the way the edges look though! Next came this fun paper flower that my SIL (aka: stamping buddy!) gave me ages ago. I die cut a PTI beautiful blooms flower with a bright yellow polka dot paper from Lasting Impressions and added my button to it with more of the orange & white twine. Finally a couple of PTI tiny tags and a bright pink button for some dangles!!
Hope this cheerful little project brightens your day! Thanks for visiting ~Lisa

This is so sweet Lisa. Love the fun colors. They are Starburst colors for sure.
It has been 80 here in Iowa the last 3-4 days. I am worried we will have a cold snap and ruin all the trees and flowers. Keeping my fingers crossed. :)
