Birthday Card and Paint Can

I can't believe my baby is 15! Well, she's not a baby anymore, but she is my first born and will always be "my baby".

She is a Sophomore in high school, plays club soccer, and plays volleyball, soccer, and track for the high school. Not only is she smart and athletic, but she has the crafty gene too! She doesn't mind going to Michael's with me when she has some spare time.

When her friends have a birthday, she makes them personalized paint cans or take-out boxes filled with baked goods. This is what inspired me to make a paint can for her. I used her favorite colors (lime green and orange) and added a couple of purses (her big weakness...hand bags).

I've been working on these off and on all week (someone is "snoopy" so I've had to sneak and try to keep it hidden). I think I used everything excepts buttons on these! The card I will be entering the "Throwback Thursday" challenge with Emma at My Creative Time. Her challenge is to use any "older" cartirdge we have. I knew I wanted to make an easel card, and once Emma announced her challenge, I chose to use the Sweet Treats cartridge.

Here are some pictures of the paint can:
