This month's challenge was to alter a Hodge Podge tin with the Holiday Treasures papers.  Don't you love what our designers have come up with so far?

I believe Elaine painted her tin first!  Well done!  Did you know you can buy white acrylic paint from the craft shop and dye it with our ink refills to create a paint to match your projects?

Love the faux brads here, too.  Some small circle punches adhered to the corners give a great look – especially when working in a spot like the middle of a tin where putting brads and things through would be a little tricky.

As an added bonus, Elaine made a little tag album to go inside with her name.  Embellished up with punches and metallic accents, it looks fantastic!  What a great gift idea this would be, too.

Thanks for sharing Elaine!
