Something for each of my team

After Convention this year the girls in my team said they'd like to go to convention next year, so with this in mind I decided to alter these money boxes and create a new look to inspire them to save for it, they have one year to put their gold coins into this tin for spending at Memento Mall, or to help with Air fares, or food, or what ever they want to have as a goal. 

I hope the girls will enjoy receiving them as much as I've enjoyed making them.

For this tin I've used river rock card stock for the main roses, tangerine tango for the smaller flowers and DSP for the bottom spotted flower, the leaves are Always Artichoke, stamped with one of the French Foliage stamps then cut out and shaped. I sprayed the roses with Champagne shimmer mist. The tin is covered in DSP then the flowers placed on that.

Please leave a comment so I know you've been and seen!!!


Thanks for stopping by   ;-)

Musings with Me.

Glad you stopped by, Wednesday is the best day for me, my Husband does the school drop off and pick up, which gives me time to do the things I love....Blog, be creative with Card making and Scrapping, then, if I have time...ironing! hehehe. Notice I do the important things first.


oops! ...  it's Thursday now, I didn't want to post Wednesdays musings too early, now it's a bit too late-for Wednesday. 


I saw this quote from Howard Thurman, I liked it so I'm sharing ...


"Don't ask yourself
what the world needs-
Ask yourself
What makes you come alive
and then go do it.
Because what the world needs
is people 
who have come alive".


Great isn't it?  that's why I love being creative- it's when I come alive.


I've done the swaps for Convention, Yay!, now all I have to do is add the recipe to the back and seal the bags. 
Here is a photo of what 110 swaps look like....why 110...? well I had more cups cut out
and didn't want them to be left alone, so I made up the extra swaps. 


By the way, a 'swap' is the card front, with a 'recipe' of what stamps, inks, paper and accessories were used to make the card; it is inspiration shared.

Stay happy!
Colleen.
