Twitterpated Altered Tin for my Customers

Yesterday was a fun day with many of my team around me for a sunny morning of nibbles, chats, and crafting!  Oh yes, and we did do a bit of training in there – time ran a bit short.  I didn't hear any grumbling, though.

My friend and downline, Barbara Bicknell of Chocolate Boutique in Parnell, has been slipping me these tins for months now, with the idea that we'd use them to make rubbish containers for our classes with the team. Sadly, Barbara wasn't able to be there yesterday! Always a team player, she is an exemplary woman.

I explained the concept to the ladies and let them go for it.  Here is what I came up with while playing on my own:

I'm enjoying that bird die!  I might use her on my swaps for convention next month.  Any cute or lovely ideas, please send them my way!  :)  (Trolling the web is not one of my favorite activities)

I got out every flower die and every flower punch we have and let the girls just create their own exotic specimens.  Luckily I'm not a florist so they all look perfect to me.

I'll be taking this around to my classes with me so you can have a hands on look (don't all of us creative people look with our fingers??)  I have six tins left and Barbara is willing to be my secret supplier, so if you'd like to do this in a class, please let me know!  Lots of fun and practical for your work area, too!
