Today's "How To" post is brought to you by the very talented Christa Paustenbaugh. Here's what Christa had to say ... "If you're like me, you love all the handy containers that many scrapbooking supplies come in. And many times those containers can be re-purposed for other uses instead of throwing them away. I'm all about using stash instead of running out to buy even more items for our house! I chose to use a chipboard container and turn it into a pencil/marker holder for my daughter who started kindergarten this year." And here are Christa's step by step instructions ...
I found a chipboard container/tin that I wasn't using anymore to use as the foundation. I also wanted to dig through my stash and find primarily scraps for this one so I could use up the old before cutting into new!
I measured, cut and covered the entire can with Tree House View paper. After that I used a border punch with the Neighbors paper and lined the top and bottom for a border on the can. I wanted a central focal point and some decoration in the middle so I made an accordian flower as a base. I cut a strip and used my scallop border punch, then started folding.
After that I did some layering with a chipboard flower, a punched yellow circle and the letter "e" for my daughter's first name. I glued it all down and there you have a nice pencil can re-purposed from other products!

Cutting elements from paper, like the treehouses!
I like the matching card and gift wrap idea.. It seems like you went to a lot of travel to the person to whom you are giving the gift!

How to's on anything intrigue me. Flowers of course, but I also appreciated seeing how the quilt like effect was achieved on a blue inspired by layout last week.
Thanks for all the great ideas you and your DT share!
This is adorable? I really enjoyed Ginger's rolled roses with the fringes. So unique and cute.
Pebbles has such cute patterned paper-I love to cut somethng out and pop it off the page with a pop-dot
They all give such great inspiration but if I had to pick one it would be the paper sunflower. I love sunflowers, but they all are wonderful!
Love this can - I need to work on some of these. And thnk you so much for the WIN!! I am so excited and will be emailing you ASAP.
Hands down, flowers. I'm always a fan of new flowers to use. You can never have too many flowers.
I love the flower tutorials and am always using them on my cards & LOs. Thanks for the tutorials and can't wait to see whats coming up!

I too like all the different flower tutorials, but also being a quilter I enjoyed the quilted effect shown last week on the LO.
I like the How To on 11/9/10 where a cheese box was converted into an adorable baby gift box and card.
One of my faves was using pebbles chips as decorative pins, i used this with numbers for a birthday card, also liked the washer necklaces and using rubons to alter glass bottles.
How to make paper flowers.
I love the different tutorials on making paper flowers, especially Ginger's ones from October last year.
I always love flower tutorials (looks like I'm not alone!)
