Decorated container

The Gingersnap challenge asked us to use packaging materials.  This container is actually a soft plastic container that I think bath stuff came in.  I have had it in my art room for a long time.  I have covered it with purple paper that I have also had forever.  The flowers I used came from stems that I bought at Michaels, also a long time ago.  The metal tag I got from Michaels on sale.  I have also distressed the paper using Tim Holtz distress Inks.  The wire curliques I made from some jewellery wire in my stash.

I am entering this in the following challenges

Gingersnaps  Creations - Using packaging Materials

Simon Says Stamp and Show - Use some Metal

Thanks for looking

Outlawz Challenge SBC061811

This is a layout with a picture of my daughter during her holiday in Cuba.
The paper is from K&Co - Four Seasons Stack
The paper under the photo is from the same stack and I distressed it using Tim Holtz Distress Inks
The paper clip is decorated with a flower I cut using my Cricut as the sentiment.
I have included a ribbon on the paper clip.  The cardstock is the red tag with the sentiment.

Hope you enjoy

Greeting Card challenge GC062011

Paper for squares from a 6" x 6" pad called "Sweet Fairy Collection".  The flowers are cuts I made using my Cricut and the "Bloom Lite" cartridge.  I then added buttons and a small bow.
