With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I had better get myself in gear....
A photo album, featuring pictures of the family, but mostly of Offspring. :)
This is a fruit cocktail can that has been recycled -- you open the bottom of the can with a side-open opener, and clean it out. Then, once it's dry and the label has been removed, you can place a small gift inside and hot glue the bottom back on. Then, decorate however you like. I use these as door prizes at workshops -- there's a sweet little surprise inside!
This card was part of a card swap that I did with some other crafters in our area, and this was my entry. I really love this pomegranate color.
I have lots of other pictures as well, and I'll continue to post them every once in a while, so I don't overload you with crafts stuff all the time. Let me know what you think!

Very creative and very pretty!
How beautiful - as was the Christmas card that you sent me this year. I wish that I could be half as creative as you.

Yay, I love the gift can!
they're so pretty! i never heard of the gift can idea. does the hot glue really work? [i haven't had good luck with hot glue for most projects. maybe i expect too much from it.]
Kathy a.: I think the hot glue works better if it's a high melt glue gun. I used a low-temp one, and the glue had cooled pretty much by the time I got glue from one side to the other. I had to try it a couple of times before I was satisfied with it. Plus, covering it up with the pretty patterned paper helps disguise the fact that it's been opened. :)
Those are so gorgeous. You, my friend, are totally talented!
Beautiful!! I love the pomegranate colour especially - perfect for Valentine's Day.
Beautiful and lovely crafts!
And I love your trick with the pull-top can!
