Paper Blooms Challenge #4

It's Wednesday, and time for another challenge over at Paper Blooms!  Since it is Earth Day, this week's challenge is to recycle or use something that you would normally throw away.  I chose to reuse an old mayonaise container.  I really liked how it opened, and  I'm doing my part to save the Earth.  I plan on filling this with candy for my Secret Sister at church.  I think she'll love it!
Remember, you don't have to have blooms to participate in the challenges, but they sure are yummy aren't they?
Stamps:  none
Ink:  Real Red
Paper:  Summer Picnic DSP, Old Olive, Whisper White, Bashful Blue
Accessories:  handmade blooms from Paper Blooms, Cricut w/George Cartiridge, sponge, Scallop Oval Nestabilities, Real Red button, white buttons, Pumpkin Pie ribbon, mayo container

  7. what a unique idea! Wow, it totally works! It's funny how these kinds of challenges makes us look at our food and other containers a bit differently, like how we can stamp them!
