BLOG CANDY ALERT!!!
EARLY BIRD PRICE ENDS SATURDAY!!!
Yeah! It is FINALLY my turn to share my Preview Session FREE TUTORIAL Project for Create with Connie and Mary! We've had a fabulous two weeks of sample FREE TUTORIALS from each member of our Design Team. We've introduced all of our Special Guest Designers…except ONE…she will be announced tomorrow!

Speaking of tomorrow (Saturday), it is the LAST DAY to take advantage of EARLY BIRD SAVINGS…$5 off the regular $34.95 US price for 6 weeks of the subscription! You pay only $29.95 US for over 36 step-by-step Photo Tutorials! That's less than $1 per tutorial, featuring products from the Holiday Mini! But…most of the ideas could easily be adapted with other stamp sets and papers! These projects are EXCLUSIVE to Create with Connie and Mary! You will not see them previewed ANYWHERE before or after the subscription…they will only be viewed by our subscribers!
So…here is my fun project! I call it a Trio of Treats Tote! I dressed mine up for the Christmas holidays, but it would be fun for Halloween, Thanksgiving or even as a hostess gift with any of our designer papers! Isn't it cute? I love to give little treats to family and friends at the holidays.
The front I decorated with a pleated lolly cut in half to surround the Decorative Label Punch. A medallion from the Merry Medley On Board was traced onto Wild Wasabi cardstock, cut out and embossed with the Snow Burst Impressions Folder. A couple Designer Buttons tied with Linen Thread on the sides…and that GORGEOUS Quilted Early Espresso Ribbon has SO much shimmer to it. But…look what's inside! Unwrap the ribbon and the front folds down!
Can you tell what the containers are? Yes! I recycled three of the empty brad/button containers to hold candy treats! I made a little pocket inside to hold the three containers from sliding out…and decorated the tops of each one! Now, I wish they were actually Christmas candy…fun to do a trio of different kinds…but it is a little early for Christmas type candy to be out on the shelves! I used Starlight Mints! This really is a FUN and EASY project! Go check out my STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL over on Create with Connie and Mary…and sign up for the Holiday Edition of Create with Connie and Mary! You will be SO glad you did! Password information will be sent out on Saturday!

Connie, this is totally adorable! I have lots of those little round cases and now I know what to do with them. Thanks!!!
very cute project – for a hostess gift you could fill with little embellishments like samples of buttons, paper flowers, or ribbon. I have been saving my containers for ever – now I have a whole drawer and I use them for different things. Thanks for the fun idea Connie!

What a wonderful idea for a gift, thank you for sharing the tutorial with us. I think I have finally found a use for my empty containers.
I've been saving these little brad and button containers and now I know what to do with them. Thank you for your sweet ideas.
What a great idea….I have to save those little containers. My daughter always takes them to store her Polly Pocket things. At least we do recycle them.
This will be my FIRST subscription to your tutorials and I CANNOT WAIT!
THank you for sharing this DARLING project…as soon as I saw it I thought..hhmmmm I wonder if those are the brad containers! LOL Great recycling idea and GREAT FUN PROJECT! AWESOME!

Love this fabulous tote Connie – bright seasonal colours and such a cute gift idea for that special person ! Thanks for the great inspiration – just itching to make this one 🙂

You always have such great ideas. I enjoy your blog very much. I look forward to what you will have next.
You are so talented! Love everything you do. I can't wait to make this project. Thanks you for all the great ideas.
Great idea! I think you could put loose wrapped candy in the space where the containers are if you didn't have any.
I knew that one day all the containers I was saving would be good for something! Thank you so much for such an incredible idea.
Connie, this is just what I love, and I have several empty embellishment containers. Thanks for the chance to win a membership.
You always come up with the most wonderful ideas! Always love your projects! I'm sure we can all use another idea for those empty containers…that I'm sure we crafters can't stand to throw away!…because we might be able to make something with it someday!!
this is really cute! It's not like I do not have dozens of this little containers around!
This is a wonderful project. I love the Christmas theme and can see it used for many occasions. I save those little containers because they come in handy for alot of things. Thanks for sharing.

OMG! Your box is so cute Connie. I love the button containers to hold candy. Why didn't I think of that???
Love, love, love it!
What a cute box! It kind of reminds me of the Christmas Keepsake box that was available a couple of months ago. Nice work.
I love this project! And all the other preview ones too!! CAn't wait for the real thing to start!!
How fun is this! What a great idea! This could be adapted to so many different ideas, hostess gifts, different holidays, baby showers…the list goes on and on! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us Connie!

I love the label details on the front of this treat box, Connie! I have been giving my little containers away to a teacher who ties flies. I might have to keep them for myself after this to make this project. I'd love to win the free subscription but with so many other comments what are my chances…LOL!

Linda Pagel
Absolutely fabulous treat box and wonderful way to recycle the containers…!!!
this is such a fantastic idea! please draw my name!
Wow that is awesome!! Thanks so much. Another great idea for the containers would be to convert them into Baker's Twine Keepers – turn the containers into a twine holder. Wouldn't that be a fabulous gift! Do a search for Bakers Twine Keepers and you should find instructions.
How cute is that! Love the medallion on the front…
Wow! Your project is amazing!! I would love to win a subscription!!
I have to say that this is one of my favorites! I have left over containers that just collect dust … now I know they have a use!! So happy to see all of your creativity and appreciate any opportunity to win blog candy.
