Back in April, one of my favorite nieces Stephanie
had her art show for college.
A wonderful opportunity for her to display her beautiful art work.
She is creative and talented, focused and driven.
She worked for many month's on her presentation to us.
Her detail oriented display was breathtaking,
along with her portfolio and book.
In May Stephanie graduated from Stockton College, NJ
In early June her parents hosted a wonderful celebration party for her.
She is very special to me!!
Of course my "gift" to Steph was a mushy card and lot's of $$$.
What college graduate doesn't need money??
This was so fun and super easy.
Purchase the clear/empty paint can at Michaels for $ 5.99,
minus your 40% off coupon, which made it super cheap.
I already had the ribbons and scrapbook embellishments.
The candy will set you back about 20 buck-a-roos,
well worth it right, someone's going to eat it!!
I got most of mine in Walgreens.
Your going to need the candy that's in CAPS & BOLDED!!
I typed and printed the verse on my computer,
cut it in to a circular shape, inked the edges,
added the ribbons and embellishments,
That's it, DONE!!
Stephanie loved it because I made it!!

I wish you were my aunt :) I love $$$ and candy. What a fun idea and I'm so glad you shared I might just have to steel this idea from you one day.
I think Stephanie must have inherited some of her creativity from her Aunt Debbie.
Love the paint can project. Pure Debbie!
