Altered paint tin - wishing well

• Here is an altered milk can I've made for my niece and her fiance. Kass wanted pink and yellow, like the colours of frangipanis but since the total budget was $20 this is the end result. The flowers are all cut by the Cricut machine. The K&Co papers came from Scraps to Share at Brassall.

  Here is a close up of the flowers.

Here's how you make them:
Cut various sizes using your Cricut machine or by hand.
Place the flower between your finger and thumb and start rolling it to make the edges curl.
You can also pull the flower with your thumb nail to get a more defined curl.
Then layer a silhouette flower over a shadow flower. You can place it directly on like I have done here or you can offset the silhouette slightly for a different look.
Glue a button or place a bling brad in the middle! Done.

To help people work out what they need to do with their gifts I've matted a little note on the top and layered it with more flowers.

And I have made two tags, each with a monogram and flower on it. These are tied to the handle of the tin and then some more ribbon is attached just to finish it off!

If you want the full instructions for this tin you can email me and I will help you out!

Handbag album

Here is a little gift I made for a friend of mine. The album base and papers are from Every Moment Matters. The new range of Urban lily papers were lovely to use.

The front cover features the colours of the album. The ribbon knot and knotted ribbons are there to provide a girly touch, even though the photos will be all boy! I loved the DM dots on chipboard look. So textural.

Here is the back. I make it a habit of signing all artwork that I do. It's an opportunity to reinforce my creative outlet. The big chipboard letter is painted and DM-ed. I used strip words on both the front and back cover because they are easier to format.

Each page has a letter cut from the Cricut, covered in DM and then doodled around using a series of lines. Can you see the frame too? It is there to give a non-scrapper clues about where to put the photos.

And the other side. I used Pritt Power Gel to glue all the flowers and buttons down.
