Today is the Stampin’ Kids Workshop and our theme is Decorated Containers. The girls will be bringing jars or bottles or tins to decorate and no doubt we’ll have paper everywhere! I’ve been collecting coffee jars and milo tins over the last couple of months, in preparation for today, but I confess to being a Bit Inspired and find myself using them for lots of storage items.
I found these little spice jars in our local $2 shop and they are just perfect for buttons, designer hardware and clips. I added some ribbon and tags using the Cute & Curly Stamp Set with the Curly Label and Oval Punches. I also used up some more ‘old’ product from my stash … making way for all the new goodies coming out in the new Catalog! Actually, that’s good decluttering and it allows me to think outside the box, a bit.
A recent project on UStamp got me to thinking and, as is the way of the Universe, when I was out shopping I found this fabulous “Keepsake Pail” which was perfect for the UStamp project by Penny Hanuszak … then I realised that I could use it for the Stampin’ Kids Workshop and decorated it accordingly. If not for Penny’s fabulous project I wouldn’t have known about these variations on Paint Tins! Thanks, Penny! I did buy a smaller one, too, which might end up as the ‘spooky luminary’ Penny designed. The larger one is now the home of all my die cut shapes.
Now, I seem to be in the mindset of seeing a bottle or a jar or a can as a potential “Decorated Wonder” and my stash is ever increasing. LOL. I have an intimate relationship with the Eucalyptus Oil, too, which is my new best friend for cleaning off that sticky label glue. I am sure that my day, last week, spent cleaning jars was also GREAT for my Health and Wellbeing!
