Watering Cans

So did you get up to watch the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton Friday morning? I was up in time to see the last prayer, and song while they signed the register and then the ride, and kiss on the balcony. I saw the ceremony later in the day. {Sigh} what a beautiful wedding, I'd love to say it reminds me of ours, but alas, we basically eloped:), but sure brings back the memories of our wedding day!!! It will be 17 years for us in June.

Anyways, on to what you came for....Watering Cans. I found the template HERE. It was easy to put together, it's just deciding how to decorate them that takes a bit of time, lol. They're samples for the window ledge at The Scrapbook Cottage.


I love the white embellishements on this one, including the row of pearls across the top edge.


I had so much fun deciding how to decorate them! I also wanted to decorate each one a little different to show the different possibilities with them. For this one, I used a Martha Stewart border punch for the handle.



I love how they all turned out, especially the butterfly one here. I used EK Success Plaid border punch, it's my newest punch and I love it!



This was a fun whimsical one!! I used Martha Stewarts Grass Border Punch and attached it with foam squares to add dimension to the bottom. Since the paper is busy, I used a simple bow to decorate it.

And here's what we woke up to this wonderful May 1st morning!! SNOW:) Although I must say, I would much rather take snow over tornadoes. My heart goes out to those who are suffering through them right now....please keep safe.


Thanks for dropping by,
