This week my project for this weeks challenge at Recycle, Re-Purpose and Re-Invent. The theme of the challenge is from the kitchen .
I decided to make some useful containers for our RV. We have been snowbirds this year travelling the winter months in Arizona and California. My pet peeve I have with my my dear hubby is that my table is always covered with his stuff (coins, hearing aids, eye drops, glasses etc). It is getting in the way of my important crafting clutter.
This is what I started with for my recycle project - from the kitchen.
I made these contains and decorated them with CS Designs Western Digital Stamps. I thought these wonderful images were prefect for our RV,
I coloured my images and containers with Ink Intense Pencils,Uni-posca paint pen, Acrylic Paint Metallic Rub Ons and Distress Ink. The stars were cut out of the rice box, I used a an embossing folder to give the paper on the containers some texture.
Remember!!! ... That at Recycle, Re-Purpose and Re-Invent they always allow Anything Goes but any the project you enter Must Still Include Recycling, or be Re-Purposed or Re-Invented. I hope you will join in this challenge. Pop over to the challenge blog and take a look at the projects of that other design team members have created to inspire you. Remember my favourite quote by Maya Angelou. “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”

ReplyDeleteGreat tins and the images are perfect! We've recently got ourselves a motorhome (rv) and I know how important the storage is - especially to leave room for the crafting!! Thanks for sharing with us at Rhedds Creative Spirit ~ Steffi :o) xx
