PHEW, am I happy to be HOME!!

Again, I am sorry it has been over a week since my last post. My husband's grandmother in Oklahoma died on Saturday so we have been back and forth for the past few days. I PROMISE to check out my SBS-6 blogs and leave comments! This tin is for my grandmother for Valentines day. The patterned paper is by paper salon and the ribbon is SU's white taffeta. For the top of the tin I used my nestablities. The main image is from Papertrey's Sweet Love set.

Ginger Blossoms..

This is my submission for Bree's SBS6 weekly challenge (I'm a wee bit late). I promise Brianne I will do better this week!! My husband finally went back to work and I'm back to taking care of my out of control 2 year old; it's a lot more stressful that I had imagined! Ok now for my project-the tin is just a clear top 4 oz tin that I purchased from specialty bottle. I covered the bottom part of the tin with SU's new ginger blossom paper. For the lid I just stamped the blossom image from the new embrace life set onto ww cardstock and then watercolored the flowers. After the coloring I matted the main image onto a scalloped river rock circle.

Chocolate Anyone?

My husband lost his job a little over a month ago and for the first few days it was nice...Then a few weeks went by and I realized that WE REALLY don't get along that well when we're together 24/7 lol! Since it's been a little tense in the house we currently live in I decided that I would make him something to let him know that he still means a lot to me. This candy box is just a 4 oz metal tin that I bought from specialty bottle. I covered it with paper from SU's retired enchante line. The heart stamp is from papertrey's sweet love set. I added the brad (su's build a brad) to give it a little "umph"...lol..I guess I can be honest..I was trying to use my adhesive eraser but instead ended up taking a big chunk of paper off and needed to hide it :) The ribbon is mellow moss taffeta.
