you will find it in the school supplies bit. They do two different ones. One is pink and has fairies on. The other is silver and has footballs on, easier to cover IMO. I got one just this week from my asda.

In the "Back to school" section -- you can find more info including pics of a couple of the designs here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?t=120833)

ETA : My store had about 5 designs, and one of them (the cats I think) has the handle on a short edge which makes it more portrait than landscape

I bought the cat one which is more portrait than landscape as Cheryl mentioned and comes with a pink handle. (Actually that explains why my lunch tin I did for the pre cyber-crop challenge looked a bit weird to me compared to everyone elses! I thought I'd done it wrong for a while.) In some ways I felt it was a bit of a shame to cover the kitty though as it was quite cute!

Thanks everyone

I am now the proud owner of 5 lunch tins. Now all I need to do is work out what to do with them - do you prepare the surface in any way or do you just bung the paper on with some sort of glue (shows what a heathen I am_

I have never altered anyhting like this before

Any idiot proof guidance is appreciated

Thanks for all the help so far

This (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?t=74966) is a link to the instructions I gave to Mitchy last year, I'm presuming this years tins are the same size as last year (I can't find my ruler or I would measure them for you). Ignore the bit about cutting around the handles, it is really easy to take them off by using a flat knife and small pair of pliers and bending the three tabs on the inside - just be careful of your fingers!! I also think Kihaku posted some instructions too - perhaps look in the library or search her posts.
This is the kitten tin with the handle on the short side.

I think I might have to buy another kitty one as it is sooo cute. I'll probably buy another one as well to have a play with and alter. I think they are great for storing photos in (justfying the outlay!!)

When will they be back in stock?????

My local Asda is tiny and did not stock them at all. But the one near my sister is bigger and managed to get me a fairy tin(she couldn't resist and bought one for herself also!). Its now full and I want more, sepecially after seeing a pic of the luuurvley cats :love:. But they have sold out at her store, and I even drove for 50 mins to another store and they had all gone aswell :(

So when do they have them in stock again...?? Please don't say at the start of the summer holidays 2007!!!

Sorry...but they are gone until Summer 2007....they only have them once a year.

I got a couple of the kitten ones from a lovely lady on here, as my store only had the monkey & football ones...

DD won't let me cover that kitten up :( - wish I'd bought two!

I did, for that exact reason - the one with the kitten on is going to my niece at Christmas!

I got 4 in total, 2 kitties, a football and a fairy. I am going to use them to store ribbons in, I think.
