Hello Creative Friends,
Today’s share is a recycled project.  I took a fruit jar that had been filled with pears and removed the labels and embellished it.  You could do this with a Mason jar as well.  I just thought after the pears were gone that this jar had too cute of a shape to throw away and was perfect for recycling.

My jar is filled with Valentine M&M’s.  I embellished the jar with a strip of the new Sending Love Specialty Paper found in the Mini Occasions Catalog.   This pack of paper is just beautiful in person.  It has highlights of glitter on each of the pages.

The flower cut-out is from one our new style punches, Extra Large Fancy Flower which is also found in the Mini Catalog.  The worded image is from the Whimsical Words stamp set which is one of the ones you can earn from Sale-a-bration.  The tiny heart I added to the worded image is from the Heart to Heart Punch.  The leaves are made with the Little Leaves Sizzlit for the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine. 

I covered the lid with a circle piece of fabric that I pinked the edges of and placed a rubber band to hold it in place.    Then I tied the Pretty-In-Pink Satin Ribbon (found in the Mini Occasions Catalog) around the top of the jar.

I think this would make a cute Secret Sister or Teacher gift.

Have a creative day,
