This is for DTGD10kittie747 Lost and Found challange.
I made this funky little Christmas jar with an empty vitamin bottle. It's perfect to give as a gift with M&M's, buttons or anything small and loose. I cut strips of red cardstock and punched the borders with my scalloped punch and attached to the jar. I cut two strips of watercolor paper, stamping trees on one and snowmen on the second. I added color to the trees with a small sponge and sponged in the sky with blue using a handcut scalloped cloud template. I added little dots of falling snow with a brush and white craft ink and embossed with white powder. I painted the snowmen (there are really three snowmen but the jar was to skinny to get them all in one pic) cut them out leaving the ground base around them, painted the ground with white craft ink and embossed. I attached the tree strip to the red base and then attached the snowmen strip to the tree base. I painted Mod Podge to the ground area around the snowmen and added white Flower Soft. I attached a simple red ribbon and a little snowman tag. Fun, quick and an inexpensive give container. You may want to rethink throwing away your empty containers.

Oh my gosh you are really inspiring me today Kittie.. I guess I would have to take the vitamins in order to have a bottle.. LOL. Maybe this will get me to do that. The thought of recycling it into something like this beautiful would do it.. LOVE this.. Great job.
