A recent assingment of mine was to create something using the band-aide tins being offered by Creative Cuts and More. These things are so small and yet so cute. I have seen these used for so many things: travel games, relationship fixes, holiday stress relievers, etc... I stared at my tin for a long time before finally deciding on this:
A birthday tin!
I used rub-ons to create the entire collection. The rub-ons are new from All My Memories. I like the few that I have seen in the series. This particular one is the Birthday Girl set. To make this ensemble which includes the tin, the gift card envelope, and the accordian card, I used all but one of the rub-ons.
I found that the "Happy Birthday" rub-on fit perfectly in the middle four pleats of the accordian. I was very happy about this, but I found that the rub-ons were a little stiff. They did not come off of the transfer sheet very easily. So a fair amount of pressure and rubbing was need . While I love the designs of their new designs, I don't think I will get to many more of these, as I can see if they are not used right away where they will become brittle.
So in review, I love the band-aid tin, and the accompaning ensemble but not the rub-ons used. I have found other rub-ons to be easier to use and be just as cute.
I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who has commented and suscribed to my blog. I am flattered to say the least. So I am doing a little blog candy early for March. It's my way of saying thank you. One lucky person will be drawn from those who have suscribed and/or commented on my blog by the end of this week. The lucky winner will receive a band-aide tin, gift card envelope, accordian card, *bling blossoms, and one spool of light pink gingham ribbon. Thanks again for looking and letting me know your thoughts.
*Bling Blossom: 
There are two large and two medium sized blossoms in the package as well as four cicular gems, all of which are self adhesive.
What a cute project! And I love your blog!

I have been looking at my tin too! How funny, we buy things and then just sit and look in a daze until inspiration hits! You have sparked my creativity this a.m. and that is only after 1 cup of java juice :) (You are good!)
