Back in the swing with club member gifts

Hi guys - Yes, I am back from convention and apologize for not posting all week... I had a great time at convention as always!

I arrived at midnight Sunday/Monday and had stamp club meeting Monday night. So I played catch up, with laundry and preparing the gifts for that night.

See, when a stamp club starts over or a new one is formed, all my stamp club members get a special gift as THANK YOU for signing up. And the gift usually holds a piece of paper with the month written on when it's their turn of being hostess. So it's the luck of the draw!

This time I've bought SEVERAL empty tin cases at convention and just knew what I wanted to do with them!

Now keep in mind that I normally like to embellish lots more, but I kept these fairly simple so

1) they could be kept in a purse/bag and the decoration would not get harmed when pulling it out of the bag...

2) additional decoration could be added by each person if they wanted to do so...

Here is a group shot of a few tins in the different designs:

and then a better look:

I've added the ribbon tab, so the tins would be easier to open!

The inside of MY tin:

I've added a pocket for my business cards to the inside of my tin :-)

Now I better get back to work...I plan on posting some more either later today or tomorrow for sure!
