I am such a huge fan of the Trendy Tins. Mine ALL have something in them! They are the perfect size for a mini album gift this holdiay season. I've found that you can just trim a tiny bit off of a 5" x 7" photo, round the corners and it fits perfectly. That makes making an album so easy and quick. Just add some patterned paper to the back of the photo, stick on a few embellishments, journal something nice...and all done!!

I'm going to show you a few things I've made with the Trendy Tins.

First, a time capsule. Cut a piece of paper (Color Theory works great for this) for each month of the year. Adhere a photo from that month on each sheet, add some goodies and journal about what happened that month. Now, punch a hole in the top of each sheet and tie together with a ribbon. Now you have a perfect little book that shows a whole year at a glance. Perfect gift or for baby's first year.

On this Trendy Tin I adhered photos to the inside of the lid and bottom. Then, I cut a piece of patterned paper to fit inside and embellished it. The Gel Candy Shapes are like little candies in there. I covered the sticky backside with patterned paper so that they just float around in the tin. This is great for a dad (or mom) to put on their desk.
