Looking for a great summer project with the kids? We loved Aly Dosdall's fabulous upcycling project that is perfect for any desk! We especially loved how Aly altered a tin can to make the perfect twine holder. Now that's clever!
Using the new Alora line from Bo Bunny, you can check out the full instructions for Aly's project right here! Thanks Aly for this perfect summertime project!
We are on Day 2 of our "12,000 Facebook Fan Celebration!" happening on our fan page here! Today we are celebrating our friends at Fancy Pants who have so generously offered a Childish Things collection package for one lucky SCT fan! Have you seen that collection? Probably one of our favourites!!! Be sure to enter HERE and then jump over to the Fancy Pants facebook page and, like yesterday, please tell them "thank you for supporting Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine" or something like that ;) We could not do what we do without their support! We know that American Crafts LOVED hearing from you yesterday! SCT readers ROCK!
Enjoy your Tuesday! Why not do something creative today whether it be crafting, cooking, gardening or maybe finishing up a unfinished project. Get those creative juices flowing!

I loved decorating cans up for stashing stuff when I was a kid but they never looked this great. Thanks for the inspiration! :)

Great idea.
