Happy New Year's From Rhedd's Creative Spirit

I saw several YouTube videos on how to make your own old fashion alarm clock from an altered tuna can.  Loved them all and the scenes inside of them were awesome!  The one I do remember is from Illene McInnes and it is detailed so no way to mess up...love that!  So that meant time to make something for Rhedd's Creative Spirit Challenge Blog design team!   I started out with a can that was too deep...not good for photos or layering the scene and no idea that without certain supplies it could turn into a finger burning, parts falling off, long drawn out affair :)   But with one really sore finger tip to show for my work, it did go from this...



to this...


I improvised a whole lot but the pinks and blues make me think of frosty things even though it is in the 80's here today!   I had the deer head die ages ago from the sale bin at Hobby Lobby, the little gold deer (I gave him a pink nose) is from a set of four by Heidi Swapp, the little bottle brush tree posed on a pink bauble hill is from the awesome Silver Crow Creations, and the white poinsettia is a huge one cut up and a shiny blue bead glued to it.  I stamped the word "Joy" from the Mis Words Set from Lost Coast Designs and glued under a blue bauble that magnified it and the little angel is from my Mom's former ceramic shop days.  Lots of glitter and a scrabble tile to hold it up and it was ready to start ticking off the minutes of 2016!

Happy New Year's!

      Sandie, if your tins turn out as wonderful as you altered boxes oh my goodness how awesome they would be! I have tons of boxes but a huge fear of altering them :) xx
