No Stamp Crafting

Hey, everyone!
It's Tuesday so that means another No Stamp Crafting project! Every Tuesday, all month long, I am sharing my craft projects that I have created without using any stamps. Today's project was something I had put off doing for a while. My husband found this empty coffee can on my "Items To Alter" shelf downstairs and asked me if he could have it to put spare change in. I said sure. He cut a slit in the top of the lid and then asked if I would put some paper around it to kind of spruce it up! I said sure and then never did! Not sure why but it got pushed to the back burner so last night I sat outside with my Mod Podge, papers, and other materials to make this and here is what I came up with:There are some wrinkles and the can wasn't smooth, it has ridges so it wasn't going to look perfect anyway. I figure it will be handled a lot so it won't matter! I think I like how imperfect is is, really. I used my computer again for the sentiment on the circle. I used 4 different punches for this project. I used whole sheets and cut them up but those polka dots would be a great way to use up some of your scraps! I hope you go make something without stamping! It's a lot of fun!! Hope you'll come back tomorrow when I use a sketch for a brand new project!!

Angel Hugs,

Love how you spruced it up! Great way to use your paper and do something without stamps!
