Time to Alter Something


See that arrow?
It's pointing at me, taking a picture of my lunchpail! LOL
Busted. Thank gawd you can't see what I'm wearing! BWwhahah!
There are a coupla challenges that inticed me to alter a lunch pail ......albeit at 5.5" X 4.25" lunchpail....it is still a lunchpail.
When I saw this at WalMart, I simply could not pass up buying it as a teacher gift for one of my daughters teachers. Of course I had to dress it up a bit, right.
I used some of my school theme scrapbooking stickers, ribbon & papers.


Pictures of the sides.



And the front of the lunchpail. Using my new Rocking Tilda, whom I am TOTALLY in love with; I paired her with Tilda with Lace Jeans who appears to be siting on a stack of books cheering on her friend. hee hee.
There are more of my school themed papers as well. Yellow lined paper (which apparently the dog got a hold of-haha), corkboard paper, green number papers & the blue spiral ring paper.
Don't forget about that apple charm.




I put an apple & some Partylite candles inside as a gift.
The upper part of the lid is for my daughter to write her teacher a little note of thanks.
I stuck a little school scrapbook sticker  in there for fun too!



I am going to have to start the other one now, for her other teacher.
I hope I have inspired you to try something new today.

I was inspired to alter this lunchbox by the Magnolia Down Under challenge of Alter something, Crafty Cardmakers challenge of Altered Food Containers (hopefully this counts?), Aly's Sunday Challenge who is all about kids, Easy Craft Projects photo inspire (see below), Cupcake Inspirations photo inspire challenge (see below) & Deep Ocean challenge blog of anything goes.
