With all my Heart

The challenge @ Peachy Keen Stamps is to alter something to use for card storage. I had this paint can that I have been saving for something special. I decided to spiff-it-up a little, & maybe my grandson could use it to store his Valentines in. I covered the can with paper that looks like jean material & some other paper that didn't look too girly. I added a little ribbon around the edges & tied a bunch of ribbon on the handle. I punched some hearts for the lid & stamped his name on them. The little boys are made from the following punches: head-ornament, shirt & shorts-large heart, legs, arms & neck-word window, hands-small heart from Heart to Heart punch, ears-1/2" circle, shoes-wide heart from Heart to Heart punch, hair-ornament trimmed & finally the faces were stamped with Peachy Keen's Everyday Character Face Parts.

On a personal note: All my free time is being spent at the Hospital & Nursing Home. My In-Laws have been very ill. Just thought I'd let you know, in case you don't hear from me much. Thanks
