The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year -  My canister is inspired by the song The Most Wonderful time of the year by the late Andy Williams.

My project is a recycled Cyrstal Light canister. I have made one of these for each of the adult males in my family. I have filled each of them with a telescoping mirror (perfect for looking under a car without having to bend down,) and candy.
 

 

My image is by Praire Fairy, who is our sponsor at One Stop Craft Challenge this week. Our challenge is to make something Christmas Song Inspired.

 

 

The image was colored with Copics and inked with Vintage Photo distress ink.

 



The top of the lid was colored with a permanet marker. The pom pom trim was added using Score Tape.

 

 

The top of the canister was trimed with a yarn that was also applyed using Score Tape. I used hemp cord to tie the charm to the yarn.

 



 

The rosetta was made with a Tim Holtz die and a large gemstone.

 



 

My designer paper is Afternoon Muse by Glitz  The trim at the bottom is a MS punch.

 



I used a different charm for each of the guys.



Aloha Ol'

 Aloha Oe' - Today starts another challenge at Creative Card Crew. We are sponsored by Simon Says Stamp. Simon Says Stamp is a fabulous on line store. The have a huge assortment of crafting products. One Lucky person will win a $20 gift voucher to their shop.

Our challenge this time is to make something Song Inspired. I was inspired by Hawaiian music. The song Aloha Oe' was written by the last Hawaiian queen. It is a beautiful song.

When we were stationed in Japan, the next door neighbors were Hawaiian and would have parties where they played their ukulele. I remember one night I was taking a bath and I could hear them playing. I felt that I was floating back on the beaches of Hawaii.

My image is Saturated Canary. I colored her with Copics, then added some Stickles to her flower and lei. Our sponsor, Simon Says Stamp is a great place to get Copics and Stickles. I use a ton of Stickles. I just love it.

My flowers are recollections. I believe my swirl gemstones are also Recollections.

Come join us with your song inspired creation!
