Hi guys, today is Elzybells Challenge day! This challenge was for us to create a Valentine treat/gift. I knew I wanted to try a clear paint can...filled with chocolate. I have done one other paint can way back when, when they were all the rage. I still have that first can, but I never was thrilled about it. So I stopped at a lss and grabbed a small clear container. Since I just {heart} this little bear, 'teddy heart wreath', I had to color him up again .
I don't know where the idea popped up from, but I wanted felt to cover my handle. It took a while to hand stitch that on there, and as good as I felt the front came out...I am not gonna show you the back...lol! The other thing I have to confess to, is that there is red paper under this pink polka dotted paper. I stamped out the 'hugs & kisses' sentiment all over it, in a darker red...but while it was pretty at first, it soaked in and you could almost not see it at all. I must remember that next time! haha
Do you wanna check out what the rest of the team did? I do! click here... I just found an awesome idea to 'case' by Francis... It's a gift box like I have never seen! Have you checked it out yet? See ya tomorrow guys...I don't have to work...
oh this is wonderful Paula!!!!!

Hi Paula,
Lovvvve the container! You did a great job! I've got a couple questions for you. . . is there anywhere in the states you can order the above stamp? If not, have you found shipping costs and shipping times to be good from the British store? And second, is there much of a difference between the Prismacolor pencils and the Lyra pencils? Thanks a bunch for your input!! Have a wonderful day!
