Bunny Basket

Welcome.  I  hope you're enjoying all the amazing projects by the DT.  You should have arrived here from Kitty's blog. If not, you need to go back to the beginning here and follow along.
As you know this month's challenge is to "Reuse and Recycle" something on your project.  And use the Tic Tac Toe board.
You know how it works.  Use 3 squares in a row, Vertical, Horizontal, Diagonal. If you use the left to right diagonal, you need to use 3 recycled items.

I got a little ambitious this time and used all the items. (except I really only "reused" 1 item and left over paper from a previous project)  The left over paper was from a pair of cards I made awhile back.

And my "Reused" item is a section of a egg carton.

Here is what I created.

A Box for my Heart

The challenge this time at Crafting with Dragonflies is to "Make a Box".  As a member of  Design Team at Sassy Studio Designs, I played along.  Usually when I make a project, it is for a specific purpose.  This time my project turned out to be more of a "artsy" piece.

I added chip board to the corners and top and then covered the entire box with metal tape. It that is used on counter tops under cook tops to reflect the heat away from the counter.  Here's a pic of the roll.

I added the faux rivets with the tube from a pen with the point retracted.

I scanned the heart/clock sticker. Printed it out larger and covered it with Glossy Accents and cut it out.

I lined the box with red felt pieces.

I popped up the Tin Sassy image on homemade pink foam squares.

This was a fun project. It was the 2nd project that I made this month that wasn't a card. I think I may have to make more non-card projects.

Thanx for looking and please follow and comment.

Word Search

Just like this week's challenge at the Hambo Hoedown was called "Word Search", I found it to be a "Creativity search" for me.  The challenge was to use either this week's digi (Word Search) or any Hambo stamp image and the use 2 or 3 things that start with any letter. (ie. B-blue, button, black, brad  T-twine, turtle, twisted easel) So I thought about it and kept running through letters and things.  Then I finally decided on "P" and used Pencil, Paper (Washi) tape and Purple. It was also different to not have an image to color.  So here's my "P" card.

inside (sorry it looks so blurry)

Stuff I Used:

Image-Word Search digital image by Hambo Stamps

http://www.hambostamps.com/index.htm

Cardstock-Recollections Purple Passion pack

Paper (Washi) tape- unfortunately I threw away the tag from the tape

Pencil-scanned #2 Staples pencil the covered with Glossy Accents

 I popped up the Word Search image on homemade foam squares.  This was the first time I used the paper tape. I've collected about 46 rolls and never used them. I do that, when I buy something, I have to have every one in the series.   Is anyone else like that or am I the only one with this problem? 

I think it turned out pretty good for not having any idea what to do in the beginning.

Thanx for looking and please comment.

 

Be Couragous

Welcome, you should have arrived here from Tina's blog.  If not, you can start at the beginning here at SSD and follow along.
If you've noticed, I'm new to the Sassy Studio Designs Design team.  And if you noticed that, did you know that I am their  FIRST guy design team member.  Yep, the Sassy Sisters have a brother now.  I'm loving being their little brother and part of the team.
Back to the challenge.  It's a Bingo challenge.

I played along using the Ribbon, something RED, and Flowers. And I got the Cowardly Lion Sassy as my  image.  My Red is the ribbon, cardstock boarders, rhinesones and the image of the flowers.  What type of flowers come to mind when you think of the Land of Oz?  Of course that would be Poppies.  The poppies image is from a Poppies seed packet.  There is also a flower image in the brown DP background.

So here's my card for the release hop.
