Here is a little gift or tabletop idea for this festive season... Snowman in a Can!
My girls were so excited when I made this and it became a source of tabletop fun this past Christmas. The snowman parts (From SU cold play)are stamped then adhered to a magnetic sheet before trimming. They then store in the can. Clearsnap's fluid chalk ink lends a little chill with its frost like flat finish. This is a little quart sized paint can and is a great size for little (and big) fingers. An additional idea to accompany it is to include some Snowman shaped meringues in a cellophane bag as a surprise treat inside! (This project originally appeared in the Feb 07 issue of PaperWorks magazine, see that issue for a full supply list and instructions)
Personal note: I actually went to a LSS yesterday! it was so nice to be able to browse and...well I wanted to wrap myself up in all their ribbon! We don't have a LSS in our new town but I was in Oak Harbor (next town over) Visiting the Pedodontist (We don't have one of those here either) and I spied it as I was leaving town. I just couldn't help but stop by. What a friendly group of ladies and they were very helpful. I would have stayed longer but Mommy duty called...I did manage to get myself some pretty ribbon though! I can't wait to head back after they move to check out their new digs! If you're ever in Oak Harbor check out Creative Heart!
