Hey friends! Saturday and a new challenge with Just Us Girls has arrived! This week the lovely Lisa has challenged us to make a 3-D/template project with a Love theme.
Gotta say, I am a sucker for all the hearts and lovey dovey sentiments in the holiday aisle this time of year. Lovey dovey schmoopsy whoopsy...yep, just LOVE it all. For this challenge I chose to LOVE mother earth by upcycling a treat container that was just crying out to be dressed up with the colors of St Valentine's Day.
This tall aluminum canister was easily dressed up with paper doilies, an SCAL cut file lable by Kelleigh Ratzlaff called Doodle Labels and Frames as well as a scalloped edge from Scalloped Borders. I added fun little homespun touches like a fabric heart yo-yo, seam binding trim, heart buttons and a seamstress pin to hold my punched and stamped message of "you're sweet". I can't wait to fill this canister with treats for my sweet.
We'd LOVE it if you joined us for this sweet challenge this week. The Just Us Girls designers have outdone themselves again along with guest designer, Carla Suto. THanks so much for stopping by today!
