Altered Pringles Can

Marks Finest Papers a Heinrich Company is having an exciting Christmas in July Blog Hop/Challenge (it is really Christmas in July/August. Each day there is a fun tutorial on making/altering something for the upcoming Christmas season. Today is the last day (Day 5) and the challenge is a wonderful Advent Calendar. You have until August 10th to participate if you want to be eligible to win the great prize (it is a big one) but to win you have to do all 5 days.


I loved day 3's project which is an altered Pringles can. You can fill it with cookies, candy, dollar bills, gift cards, etc. I decided to try it and this is what I came up with:



You could also leave the Pringles in the can and give it as a gift and maybe add a gift card to you tag. It could be changed to a birthday or get well (fill it with cough drops and vitamins) container too.

I used the MFP Please Snow Stamp Set and the Holiday Tag Set.

Hugz!

    Nancy, what some great ideas for your altered can. I'll take the dollars, or better yet, fill it with ten's and send it along. LOL
    Those Christmas trees are so pretty. It is really time for me to start doing some Christmas things. I love your project. Have a fabulous weekend, my friend.

    Wow, this is so pretty, and so far from a Pringles-can-look! Love the frosty, wintry feel of it.

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
