DOODLE DRAGON CHALLENGE - SPRING IS IN THE AIR

 
Happy Sunday Folks!
Are you all having a great weekend so far? I sure hope so! Today is another challenge over at Doodle Dragon Studios and this time the theme is "Spring is in the Air." I know for many of you in the colder climates are so ready for Spring to start so this one is for all of you. Here in Miami the temperature is already in the high 70's and low 80's...yes, even in February! By the time Summer comes around I will be ready for some cooler weather!
The Spring project I chose to do is a cute little tin with packets of seeds inside. A nice little gift to get the plants ready for the summer time. 
 This is tree bear and the flowers digi from Dustin, which were both colored in copics.
 I filled the tin with paper grass and added a pretty flower to the top of the tin, some ribbon to the sides of the handle and the bottom green area is done with a Martha Stewart edge punch.
This is Butter Bear as he has the butterfly in his paw! Isn't he adorable relaxing in the grass!
I'm now hooked on these tins as they are so quick and easy to decorate and the perfect size for a thoughtful gift. The tin is 6" tall and I made one super fast yesterday for a surprise party for a child and put a gift card in it. I will post that one on Tuesday. Other ideas for contents could be some little packets of seeds or a sachet of dried flowers, crayons, pencils...the list is endless. I got the tin from Michael's and will definately be making more of these! 
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you will take the time to check out the rest of the DT's wonderful creations.
See you all on Tuesday!
Hugs,
Charlotte
