Haiku Birthday

Do you know how many tins I have? Tins that I recycle or peeps recycle to me...I have way too many to count, one of these days I'll actually organize them too {gasp!}. Anyways, I took this tin from Bath & Body Works and altered it for a certain someone's upcoming birthday. Okay, it is for my Mom...MOM if you are reading this...click the red x in the upper right....click the red x in the upper right and call me.

I made the mistake of telling my Mom that I added the Google translator...She gave it a try and she said that she couldn't understand the Japanese translation at all {LOL...do you think it is because I use the word peeps, FABulous, Magnificent, Perfect-O?!}.

Anywho's, I decided to use Jen's sfytt...I had to turn the oval in order to be able to fit my happy birthday stamp...gotta have that one on it :) What better paper to use than Stampin' Up Haiku? I know that she thinks the Hero Arts Japanese Doll images are sweet so I went ahead and added that too. The narrow strip of paper actually has black Marvy Twinklette pen on the edges to define it a smidge. I copic'd the Doll and added some sweet rosy cheeks along with paper piecing her kimono.

****MOM if you are still reading or looking....click that red 'x' NOW...****

My Mom, she's a rebel :) I'm sooo very grateful for her...she has always been there for me, especially for the last couple of years.

Okay, back to the project, inside the tin is an altered mini comp book and roller pen...easy smeasy, I mean it took me HOURS to design this project {gotta talk it up to my MOM because I know she is still reading...} Oy Vey, Japanese Mom's...you gotta love them and if YOU have one, you know what I mean...Okay, I'm a Japanese Mom but it's different, kwim? LOL

Happy Monday to you!!!
