I missed hearing exactly what the April challenge was, but I ahve made my Nephew an 18th birthday 'card' using an altoid tin. I used embossing powders to decorate the outside and stuck in 3 birthday cake candles - one for each wish - for the past, present and for the future.
I uploaded it to the 'My Cards' album of:

Jane,
I liked your tin and am inspired by your CD to try it.
You know when your DH is enabling when he is sorting recycling and he asks "honey, can't you alter this or something?" Showing me a used AOL disk.

Love your tin. What a neat idea for a birthday card.
You have done a great job of the first half of the challenge! The second part was that you needed to make a little book of at least 5 pages. I love what you have written in the tin and the symbolism of the 3 candles!
Ah thank you - glad I know the whole challenge now!! As soon as I get another tin I plan to mkake a special mini book for my DH for Fathers Day - so it may not be in April - I hate mints so I have to wait until a kind friend buys and eats some :)
That's a new idea for me. .....a birthday card! I'll have to remember that. Looks great! Sandy
That's a neat idea Jane.....
