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.

    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.

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Halloween Lunch Pictures and Some Art

Happy T-day! Our favorite local restaurant is Fox's Pizza Den where they have great pizza, sandwiches, pasta and salads. They also have a Bourbon Bar.  Prices range from $7 to almost $1,000 on the bourbon and bourbon drinks.   Each holiday, the bourbon bar comes up with fun holiday themed drinks and they decorate the bar too.  A few weeks ago, we headed there for lunch and to try one of the new drinks.  Here is the holiday drink menu and my tickets to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog where we share our fun drink related items from the week.  Of course, my daughter loves vampire books and movies so she picked the blood bag. I go more for taste so I got the Meet Your Maker - it was wonderful.   We shared a pizza and a salad.  I forgot to take a picture of the pizza, but I did get one of the salad. It had grilled chicken and potato wedges - super fun.  They make their ranch dressing on site and it is wonderful.  My husband has been know...
