lunch tin--kinda

i usually make these and give them as gifts with handmade cards in it but i'm thinking of keeping this one.

for my friend

i made this for my best friend michele. it's actually her christmas gift that i just sent off along with her birthday present. [birthday present was on time.....just christmas gift, i got behind] i had 1/2 of it made but then got caught up with all the other christmas going-ons and then january came and it was planning for bryan's birthday party and things going on at work (the company i work for got bought out)....blah,blah, blah........i know---excuses. so sorry michele it's so late! hopefully she'll find a lot of uses outta these all occassion cards. it's so hard for me to cut up pretty patterned papers.........i really like the one on the altered lunch tin. i am learning not to hoard paper this year.

more card sets

these are just some of the card sets that i included for 2 friends that got these altered lunch tins for christmas. i didn't want to post til they got them for sure (in the mail). there were more sets but i think i might've forgotten to take a pictures in the holiday chaos rush!

not for lunch

i had time to do a project. the project usually ends up taking a couple of days since i work and have the 2 boys who love to get into everything i am doing. it's an altered flip top lunch tin. i will be putting card sets i make in there for christmas gifts this year for a few friends.

look who was watching me at the window as i was taking my tin project pics outside (natural light is better)---bryan! he was looking at me like 'please take me outside too'!

he's like, 'i'll give you a smooch if you take me out'!

brandon caught on to where i was too & pretended i was a monster outside and did his superhero pose on me.

look at what i won on a blog last week for just commenting on a blog entry............ super cute set! can't wait to use! and she even included a card. sweet blog candy.

(for my non-crafty frends, it's a clear stamp set)
