Easter Fun *trash to treasure*

One of the moms in my class has been saving all these cans for me. At first, I wasn't sure what on Earth I would do with them. But in my class, we collect a lot of trash and turn it into something. I am sure some of those masterpieces finally do end up in the trash, but it's fun to create. I have a plan to make all these cans into a little end of the year gift for my kids. However, I thought I could spare one to make an Easter basket for Connor.

I covered it with some patterned paper from my stash. Then I just stamped his name on a French blue notecard using the A Muse stitched alphabet.

Then punched some holes with my Crop A Dile and tied the ribbon for a handle. Easy beasy!!

HAPPY EASTER

*from trash to treasure*

After altering the Altoid tin, I have decided to start a trash to treasure series. Darcie gave this tea tin that has sat on my desk for days just waiting to be made into something new and beautiful. I just couldn't think of what to make it into. I kept looking at my stamps and trying to make it into a Valentine tin. Then it hit me ~ I didn't HAVE to add anything stamped to it~ SHOCKER I know!! So I got out my new SU paper and decorated and added a ribbon and bow. See the pink ribbon? Well you guessed it; it was white and I colored it with my Shadow pink Copic.

This would make a great tin fill with something yummy. And then whoever you give it to can put it on their desk for a little pencil/pen holder! Fabulous I know.

All paper and ribbon are Stampin Up, Copic markers.
