PYC Challenge #8 - Grateful




Happy November!!!!  

The days are just wizzing by.  Before we know it Thanksgiving will have come and gone.  I don't know how it is for you, but for me the last few moths of the year go screaming by.  

I hope everyone had a save Halloween.  We were invaded by a zombie.  My son had so much fun acting out the whole zombie thing.  I am glad he enjoyed himself so much.  




Today we start the Challenge #8 at The Parade Your Crafts Blog.   
The theme is - Grateful


The collection I am using is Thankful from Authentique. 
 You can find all you paper needs at The Paper Parade 

For this challenge I wanted to do something totally different. I spent a good amount of time scouring Pinterest for inspiration with now luck.  But I did learn how to make the rolled paper flowers.  

Last weekend I attended the Scrapbook Expo.  I was on a mission for supplies I can not get at our big box craft stores.  As I was spying in on a make and take, I discovered these cool little tins.  They came in two sizes, 2 and 3 inch diameter.  The tins are like a bottle top or pastry baking tin.  

Bingo.... I found the inspiration.  Especially the Thankful collection remind me of classic kitchen decor.  




I carefully folded a strip a paper to make the ruffle around the outside edge of the tin. 
 I glued it down using Beacon 3-1 adhesive.  I made a few of the rolled flower,s two out of plain card stock and one from the Authinque collection.  Added a pearl bead to the inside and some glitter around the edges.  The sentimet if from the sticker pack from the Thankful collection.   



I was thinking that I could use some magnets and display this on the fridge or even use it in my office.

And not to forget the scraps....



Now it is your turn.
