Here is a cookie tin, band-aid tin, and card I made using Pretty Amazing. 

The cookie tin I stole from my mom tonight!!  I thought wow this would be fun to decorate.  I have no idea where she got them (probably Costco).  The butterfly and humming bird are colored in with chalk.  I also finally opened my Pretties Kit and put a little something together and tied it with ribbon.  

The Band-aid tin I bought from Oriental Trading.  I was upset to find out that there is no handle on the top :(

The first challenge was to make a circle card.  I've never done this before so I was excited.  I will admit this was my second attempt.  The first circle didn't come out so great!

The second challenge I did was to create a card that was about Pink and Brown shoes!!  What fun!!  I do have one pair of pink heals!  There soo cute!! Wish I got to wear them more.  The gift bag in the picture had a very gorgeous bow on it so I thought I would add that on the card.
