Anyways its time for a new challenge for Funday Friday Challenges. 
This week its all about dads. To be honest this year fathers day sucks. My dad has been in the hospital since easter time and well he has his good days and his bad, lately it has been mostly bad and he basically was given up, but we moved him to yet a 3rd hospital and he is now having more good days then bad, but still unsure what is going to happen in the long run.

Enough with the heavy 

Here is my card this week. 
I used a Bugaboo digi- Nuts about dad girl

Funday Friday Challenges. #141 "Recycled Scraps

If I am posting this it must mean that it is Friday. We survived a long crazy week. 
This week I am filling in for a Design Team Member and am happy that I could. I love Sherri Baldy images. This challenge is to use scraps. 

My Scraps for this card is the pink layers behind the image, the black and white ribbon that I must get more of, and also the paper the sentiment is on. 
Speaking of the sentiment that is from 3 Twenty Craft Stamps - Simple Sentiments.

One last thing... Happy belated birthday to our fab leader Jo. I hope you had a wonderful day and enjoy your weekend. <3

I will confess that I didnt even start my project till Monday morning. And still didnt have an idea what or where the craft project would take me. So... I work better under pressure which is the current song playing.  

I did get my project done. I made an altered tin. This tin which I should have taken photos before and didnt, as just a tin that had chap stick in it from Christmas time. It was light blue with red. The first thing I did was spray painted it black. Then I took some crochet thread and wrapped it around the bottom part of the tin up to where the lid hit when its on. Then I did the same to the lid around the the top. 
The top of the lid I did a sunburst arrangement. The paper is from a stack I found at Walmart. I then added and burlap flower also found at Walmart and a prima flower- that I received from a friend. 

I plan to use this tin for my We R Memory Keepers Fuse tips. 


I hope you enjoyed my project. 
Unto your next stop.
