For this VSN challenge we were to create something inspired by a particular photo of the Olympic symbol that was predominantly white and blue. I decided to make a tooth fairy tin for my nephew who just sprouted his first teeth. Since the tin itself is silver colored I earned 'bonus points' - LOL!
I used some blue paper that was pre-glittered as the base, though it does not show in the photo very well, and the happy, smiling tooth is stamped onto glossy white paper since our teeth are supposed to shine aren't they? ;) I used a star shaped button and a toothpick (how fitting is THAT?!! LOL!) for his magic wand and decided to use some alphabet beads to spell out my nephew's name and label. I trying using alphabets first, they didn't look as nice IMO.
NOTE - I was only able to adorn the top of the tin in the 45 minutes alloted to the challenge, so please disregard the other photo in my gallery of the inside of the box, which I lined with patterned paper and ribbon. It should not show up since I won't use the keyword for the challenge when I upload it. Just don't want to mislead anyone.
Thank you for the fun VSN challenge and thank you to everyone who takes the time to look at my creation. Happy VSN!

WOW! That is sooo creative and I'm so impressed you finished even just the outside in 45 minutes! Way to think outside the box (no pun intended!). Love everything about it--the star wand, the shiny tooth, the glittery paper, and the alphabet beads. I'm sure they will both LOVE it!!!

OUTSTANDING!! This is SO creative, Meredith!! I LOVE the tooth, the toothpick magic wand, and the adorable sentiments in those sweet little alpha-beads. What a wonderful keepsake--and a very useful gift, too. I wish I'd thought of something like that for my kids
