Make these cute little canisters to add a touch of fun while organizing your office and/or scrapbook space.

Gather a few film canisters with lids. These will work great for small embellishments or desk drawer items. I chose to use paper clips, safety pins and quarters. You could easily make these for different colored brads, eyelets, jewels, small clips or other small embellies.

1. Print titles of canister contents onto pieces of patterned paper. Cut these papers in 2" x 4 3/4" pieces.
2. Use a 1 1/4" punch for to cover the lids. I punched out flowers and a butterfly.
3. Add rick rack or ribbon around and adhere in the back.
4. Add cut out flowers or other embellishments.
5. Adhere a silk flower to the bottom of one of the canisters.

Use a variety of papers and embellies to make your canisters unique! Have fun!

Sisters by Megan Thurman Idea to Note: Don't those large flowers make great embellishments. Cut them from the pattern to make good use of this paper!

Such a Girl by Tiare Smith Idea to Note: White space is good. No need to cover your entire page with paper and embellishments. Less is more! Give it a try!

Cold Hard Cash by Shelly Boyd Idea to Note: Use tags as arrows to draw attention to a portion of a photo, title or journaling!

As Beautiful as it is Tasty by Tiare Smith Idea to Note: The beautiful rub ons in the Plush Pak are a wonderful way to highlight journaling and titles!

Hunt's Hunnies by Becca HuberIdea to Note: Use tabs behind photos to give dates and/or names and places!

I thought it would be exciting to try to make my patterned paper look like big strips of ribbon! This layout was simple to put together and I love the effect of the various patterns up against each other on the cardstock background. To recreate a layout similar to this you will need:

Supplies From October 2007 Classy Pak and other Classy Paks:

• Paper Trunk Batik Papers
• Green Plaid Ribbon
• Basic Grey Tags from the August Classy Pak
• Solid Green Ribbon form Past Pak
• Round "Never Give Up" Sticker from November 2006 Pak

• Happy Everything Journaling Card
• Cardstock
• Letter Stickers
• White Flower
• Flat Word Stickers
• Two 3 1/2 X 5 inch photos

Instructions:

1. Trim 4 different widths from the Paper Trunk Batik Papers
2. I trimmed mine down to approximately 1 3/4 inches, 2 1/2 inches, 2 3/4 inches and 3 inches. They are all about the same length, around 10 inches long. I cut a "V" into one end of each strip to make it look like a fancy cut on a piece of ribbon.
3. Next, I simply added the strips to my cardstock background and then layered my photos, title block, and embellishments on top of the strips.
4. I tucked four Basic Grey tags form the August pak behind my two small photos to make them pop a bit against the patterned background.
5. Finally, I added my journaling to the top and bottom edges of the layout.

I wrote slowly and carefully to avoid spelling errors. If you were to make a mistake, I think it would be fun to simply add another Basic Grey tag on top of the error by tucking it behind the top or bottom strip of paper "ribbon". This entire page only took about 30 minutes to complete!
