Monograms - DT for Scrapping4FunChallenges

Hola everyone!

Finally, a normal week for the first time this year!  I feel so much better!  

Today, I want to share with you my Design Team project for Challenge #11 of Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges.  The challenge for this week was to create something with a Monogram in it.  

I used an old canvas picture, that I found in the trash, which  I painted with white spray paint first, then used the DCWV It's all about the boys robots paper for the background.  For the Monogram, I printed the letter "G" using the CK Silly Simon font, and then cut it out from a cookie carton and painted it with red apple acrylic paint.  To make it shiny, I covered the monogram with Glossy Accents.  

The robot is a printable I found in the Creative Market page, which I printed and cut out.  I added googly eyes and some nuts brads to it.  On the top left corner, I added some flat head nuts brads as well.  

Well, hope you like my Monogram project!  Head on over to Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges and show me what you can do with Monograms.

Peace and healthy days for you!

Besitos,

Recycled Halloween Box

Hola everyone!

I've been really busy this week, and is not until the last minute that I decided to do something Halloween related.

I had some empty Truvia sweetener boxes laying around waiting for some craft, so I decided to use them for my Halloween box.

I covered the box with ModPodge and black cardstock, and used a Martha Stewart Halloween border punch for the border of the box.

Using silver glitter glue, I hand drew a spider web to place my cute little spider, which I made with a mini-foam ball covered in white glitter and white pipe cleaners for the legs.  I added some googly eyes to make it kind of cute and funny.

Well, hope you like my simple, yet cute recycled Halloween box.  I hope it inspires you to do something with those recyclables!

Peace and healthy days!

Starbucks Cups... Upcycle-Recycle

Hola mis amigos!!  I know it's been a bit since I last posted, but it has been hectic and a lot of illness in the family, and the days have just flown by... 

I will restart my blogging with this post I found at The Crafty Crow.  I always wonder what I could do with all of those Starbucks Frapuccino's cups (or those Icee cups, for that matter).  Well, Cassi has a great idea which she found at Muffin Tin Mom:  use them as paint containers! 

I was thinking they could be used as glue containers for those times we have to use some Mod Podge, or to store ribbon or twine.  The open top would work great to contain the twine or ribbon while we work with it. 

Please share with me how else you would recycle/upcycle these cups?  I would love to hear all the ideas you have!

Have a GREAT weekend!!
