I forgot to post this last month…

I love Trader Joe's instant Steel Cut Oatmeal and eat it for breakfast almost every day.  I hate to just pitch the containers and was holding on to them in order reuse and reduce.  Every year I make a yummy Flapjack mix that I give out as gifts and so when I got around to it this year I had an aha moment in terms of packaging:

  I realized as I was getting ready to wrap the containers that they were about 13" in circumference so had to create a cardstock "seam" to cover the gap.  I used retired DSP (from last year) and embellished the top using our Gift Bow Bigz L die (which unfortunately did not carry over into the Occasions catalog-boo hoo!).
