Challenge #4 over at the Simon Says Challenge blog is to make something for a GUY - young or old!! I needed a little gift tin for a 5 year old boy so I decided to make one and use my Simon Says Stamp set called BUGS! Can you get MORE "boy" than BUGS???? LOL The tin was a Chamomile tea tin that I recovered with My Mind's Eye paper. It was a perfect size for the gift (a bug catcher/holder and magnifying glass) and the Bug set was the icing on the cake!! :-)
Here are pictures of the 3 bugs I used and the lid. I added googly eyes to all the bugs and stickles to make them sparkle!
Head on over to
