My first project is something that I have been wanting to do for a while. So I decided to take the plunge and try it out! Here is what came out!

I thought this would make a super nice centerpiece for a Thanksgiving table! Stampin' Up! has come out with an awesome new tool called Simply Scored. I used it to make these medallions (or flowers). I was going through my cupboards and found a few of these milk cans. I have had them for a very long time and decided it was time to use them for something! Here is a close-up of the front of the can:

I used bamboo sticks to adhere the flowers to. I also put some dried beans in the can to help hold the flowers in place. I used a ton of products from the Spice Cake Suite in the Holiday mini catalog. Here is a close-up of the flowers:

My centerpiece project took quite some time so I decided to make a really simple card. I used the Always Thankful set from the Holiday mini catalog. 

So there you have it! I hope that you were inspired by what you saw here! Be sure to click on the link below to go to Barb Mulikin's blog if you haven't been there already. You won't want to miss what she has for you! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
