Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge #291 - Fall Harvest (anything Fall related)

Happy Tuesday and welcome to our Die Cuttin' Divas challenge this week, which is Fall Harvest (anything fall related).  I love this time of the year so much.  This is when I miss living in NJ.  I miss the leaves turning to beautiful colors, the crisp weather, and the smells of fall.  Hard to think about Fall when it is in the upper 80s!  For my project this week I decided to make a fall treat box.  I don't know what it is about candy corn, but I just love it.  I eat too much of it around Halloween, then I don't touch it again for another year!
Treat box: Lori Whitlock SVG file
Paper: Recollections
Punches: Stampin' Up
Ink: Stampin' Up
Stamp: Project Life "Holiday Cheer"

This week the challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas is a sketch challenge based on this sketch:
