Happy Birthday - Despicable Me Style!

Hello everyone and welcome to Nonna's Craft Corner.
Today is Design Team Day over at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and I've got a fun birthday project to share with you.  I always seem to have trouble coming up with something for the older boys in our family. The little guys are pretty easy, but the pre-teens and teens always leave me wondering what in the world to do.

Well, we had a special birthday guy in our family this week, and I think I may have come up with the right combination this time!  How cute is this little guy from the Minions Cutting Files.......


Isn't this fun?

Recipe:
* I started with a little metal can that I ordered a long time ago (sorry don't remember where it came from).  The can is about 3.5 X 5.5 inches.
* I cut a mat from some fun star patterned paper for my background.
* The red zig-zag at the bottom of my mat is from the Borders 3 Cutting Files
* And that fun little Minion is from the Minions Cutting Files - there are 3 Minions in the file and they are so stinkin' cute!


* I added a strip of red zig-zag around the outside of the can.  Next, I used pop-dots to adhere my Minion to the top of the can.
* The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Peachy Keen Stamp Set PKSC-04.  I stamped the sentiment onto a little banner I cut using the Sentiment Spots 1 Cutting Files.


And, here is my can open and filled with goodies!  I thought I couldn't go wrong with the candy and cash combo!

Well, that's it for me today. But, you will want to stop by the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Blog to see what the other Designers have to share with you today.  They are an amazing group of talented ladies and you don't want to miss their projects!  As always, I appreciate your visit and your sweet comments.  I hope you have a wonderful day and I'll be seeing you soon....

Until next time,
