First – Papertrey Ink has the BEST tins I’ve ever seen! LOVE THEM! I ordered a bunch in October, or was it September? Whenever the Take a Bough set was released, I was there online with a bunch of other crazy stampin’ ladies, crashing the server. There’s another release party coming soon, ummm… actually tomorrow night at midnite! I am working, so if the officers keep quiet for me, I’ll be there again. GOTTA SEE THE GOODIES BECAUSE NICHOLE’S SNEAK PEEKS ARE TO DIE FOR! AGAIN!
Okay, back to my story about my first nugget tin. I am prepping for a Christmas SAS this weekend. In addition to the cards, gift tags and a bonus card for the customers, I wanted to have some Christmassy gift ideas on display as well. And with all the awesome swap cards I’ve received from the 2 swap groups I’m in, I should have enough to get my ladies drooling. If they don’t drool… well surely I’m doing something wrong.
Geez, I keep getting sidetracked. Probably because i ate half the bag of nuggets while doing this project. The tin is from Papertrey, as mentioned earlier. I used Season of Joy in Blue Bayou, Soft Sky (swirl stamp- not seen in this pic) and Old Olive ink. The labels are Avery address labels (5160 or 8160 i believe). I used the jumbo eyelet because originally, the tag was going to be threaded thru the ribbons. But it wouldn’t lay right, so i changed it to the silver stretch cord. I’ll probably re-do the tag with a regular eyelet. Tomorrow I’ll post the tea tin… Thanks for stopping by!

Great job Denise! I’m sure all the ladies will be drooling. I’m working on a devirginizing whoopie pie filling that doesn’t need refrigeration to the West Coast. It’s a fun challenge. We are eating too many sweets in our quest for creation :)
