Just Us Girls #373

It's trend week at Just Us Girls and Nancy has chosen 'Jars'.
There are pint jars and quart jars.  Jars of jam or jars to hold a spring bouquet.  Whatever you imagine a jar being or doing, make it into a card. You could be Chic of the Week and possibly guest design for a month.  I used my jars to hold Christmas candy.
The jars and candy are from PTI, stamped on Bristol board and colored with Zigs.  Yes I see that smudge on the side of the candy canes.  I tried to add some shading to the jar and the red ran.  I think it looks like a shadow on the glass.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it. ;)  In fact I smudged a little green to make it look like I did it on purpose.

Time to check out what the rest of the Design Team and guest Designer Theresa Gregory have made to inspire you.  I hope we see you in the gallery.

Your jars of candy = wonderful treats for the eyes! The sponging adds a charming festive touch! I have nary a jar image in my collection...may have to do some mental gymnastics to figure out how to play along. Oh, wait a minute...something just popped to mind! Yayyyy...a ping moment!

How sweet and delicious your jars look. There is nothing better than a jar of candy, and yours are especially festive.

Hey Bobby! Indeed, a festive reflection on the jar. Love how you have the smaller one behind, and then fit the sentiment in that space, off center. Wonderful!

Super fun jar candy Bobby, I hate a smudge too, but it always bothers us more than the recipient, they won't even notice it lol.
