MAYO7VSNQ-SAT 10 pm - Spring Cleaning - Chat Thread
Spring Cleaning
Maiden Hostess: olika (Gerri)
Code/Keyword:
MAY07VSNQ
Time: SAT 10 pm
Spring is such a special time of year especially when the May flowers appear. One way to help our May flowers to flourish is to reduce the amount of garbage that makes its way in to the waste piles. Every wee piece we stop from going there makes a difference no matter how small. We can do this by re-purposing items that we would normally throw away - items we would never think of using on a card. See what things you can find around your home that you could incorporate into a card design. There are already some objects we re-purpose. Using cardboard as chipboard and making pop tabs into buckles are two examples.
This challenge is to re-purpose your everday trash, such as:
bread tabs; plastic packaging; netting from wine or onions; bottle caps; used wrapping paper; shelf liner; old calendar pictures or cards; old jewelry bits; foil off of empty medication flat holders...the list is endless once you start thinking about it.
I have included a picture of some of the things mentioned above and some examples of how I re-purposed some of these items. If you are gluing on things like metallic paper, plastic or paper clips, etc you might want to use a strong glue. One that I know works well is Crystal Effects so if you have that or a glue like that your item(s) should stick to your card. Have fun with this. It can be a real eye-opener when you start looking! I am hoping that I will see some different things that weren't already mentioned.

Got to take a shower. I'll think on this one while I'm in there and do it when I get out.

I don't know if I can think this hard at 10 pm after stamping all day - but I'll give it my best shot!!
Here is my card - I actually ended up having fun with this and I really like what I ended up making!!
