Okay. . .the blog hop theme for this month is "Contain Yourself" challenge. Each of the InStyle Stamps designers had to create a project with that theme in mind.

Well, I took that as altering some sort of container. So what did I do? Well, I altered a DVD metal tin and created this little mini organizer. Initially, I was going to create an accordion album, but I did a scrapbook album type of thing with last month's blog hop so I decided to do something different.

I decided to create a mini organizer with a calendar, post-it note pad and pen holder inside of the DVD tin. I was going to add a photo on the inside cover as well but it's already pass my daughter's birthday so I left it blank. I may give it to someone else and maybe add their photo when I send it out to them. Right now I left it blank.

I used "Mellie" as my InStyle Stamps image. Isn't she the cutest or what!! I colored the image using my copic markers and added a few prima. I covered the tin with designer paper and that's it! Supah simple. I love simple. . :)

Anyway, hope you all will play along and vote and visit InStyle Stamps and check out all their cool stamps and products!!

Hope you all have a fantastic Friday!!
