another altered altoids tin

because i've been wanting to make more altoids tins but i can't buy out all the altoids in town i put a sign up on the refrigerator at work asking people to donate their old tins if they did not need them. one person gave me about 10 of them!  since she gave me so many i asked what her favorite things were since i said i would give one back to her.  she didn't understand i would be altering it so she said chocolate.  i tried to embrace the chocolate idea with what i made and then when i gave it back to her i did put some chocolate inside!


i used an image by twisted papers and a cupcake digital from far far hill.  the rest -- washi tape, heart sticker, background papers, etc, are stash items although the background paper on the top is from stitchy bear stamps. 

i'm linking up to pink saturday today.

she was surprised and delighted to receive this and i still have many more tins to play with!
love to all.

This is a beautiful gift. The tin is a gift in itself.
