I only bought a few because I recently organized my alterables into groups in big bins (paper, glass, tins, goodies) and I *may* have a bazillion tins to alter . . . DOH! Anyway, they are absolutely perfect for nuggets, just like I thought they would be! I am tempted to go back and get more (but you didn't hear me say that *wink wink*). I used Jody's altering Elvis tin tutorial to try and take off the image on it, but I figured out as I was doing this that the side edges were really hard to sand off AND I planned on covering the top, so really only that little corner part between where I would put ribbon and where the paper would go, would need to be sanded. SO, I sanded there and then got to work on covering the tin. I put chocolate brown grosgrain on the edge of the tin to cover the "hard to sand" part. I stamped Emmybella and colored her in using a chocolate chip marker and I paper pieced her top and bag. I picked up the ribbon at Recollections last week (is it bad that I am happy that they are closing because I love the sales?).

I have another cool project I made with one of these tins -- perfect for Valentines Day, so keep checking back for that! I am really excited about it. Hopefully by now you have all put in your order for the Hanna Valentine set also . . . and it will arrive to you soon! I have some more fun Hanna things, from a set to be released Jan 25th, to show you a little later on in the month and I am awaiting an SU order today with new catalog stamps, so I will get busy with stamping with them soon too! See you soon!

This is just too cute. I love the colors and the sentiment!
I love it, I love it, I LOVE it!! Pink and Brown AND a Bella?? What could be better??? Mwah!!
I use the same Mike's tins but collect them year round in various colors. The are much cheaper that the windowed tins on the other site. I use the windowed ones also but if I need something in a pinch you can't go wrong with Mike's tins. You can get tins in other shapes from other stores they run about $1. Kohl's gift card tins are elegant silver tins with red ribbon around them. Tins are everywhere, even Wal-Mart has some.
This is awesome! What a great use of those tins!
