A Tin of Fun

Happy Monday! One of my best friends has a wonderful young son (and I do mean young, a third grader) who loves Altoids. He has been working hard on a BIG school project all week with a fever and ear infection. I thought it would be fun to make him a little gift for all his hard work. So I decided to use my wonderful Cottage Cutz dies and decorate an Altoids tin. These are the items I used:
I picked out some cute paper to go with the Cottage Cutz Moose with lights. I am sure you noticed I did not use the lights on the Moose that is what is so cool about these dies. You can pick and choose what parts of the dies you want to use on your layouts or projects.

I didn't do this but you could take out the candy and decorate the inside of the tin too.
