After taking a look at our home office, this is what I found yesterday:
I totally forgot about this hole punch -- it has a hole that is bigger than the ones on my Crop-a-dile and a better size for standard tags. Score!
From these random paperclips, I found some scraps of ribbon and looped them through the top to make my own embellishments. Here is one:
Easy to make and much cheaper than buying them premade. From the Proverbs magnet, I made a card, using the colors as inspiration:
This card doesn't have a sentiment, so I may just enclose the magnet when I send the card! The other scripture card in my finds was also used as color inspiration:
For this layout, I used a birthday photo and then followed Crystal Schneider's sketch that is now live at The Memory Nest blog for the Monday Challenge! This sketch was just perfect for scrapping this photo while using some My Mind's Eye "So Sophie" Royal paper. I added a little of the light aqua in order to break up the dark colors with a nice splash of fun.
Did you find several items in your search but don't have time to make projects with all your treasures? That's okay! Use a basket to keep your goodies together -- it will serve as inspiration for days to come! (And of course, you may certainly end up using several of the items on one project!)
Don't forget to link up your project(s)! I cannot WAIT to see what you've put together!!
Now on for today's challenge: The Kitchen.
Let's take a fresh look and see what we can find that will become a new element on our next page. This room can be a catch-all for so many "intriguing" things, right? Here are some more ideas to get your hunt started today:- coffee filters, cupcake liners, doilies
- tea bag envelopes, canned food labels
- straws, wine corks, bottle caps
- junk mail, store receipts
- take-out menus
- old cookbooks or recipe cards
- cookie cutters
- paper lunch sacks
- mesh produce bags
- paper coffee cut holders
- aluminum foil
- string, bread bag tags
- popsicles, chopsticks, toothpicks
Would you rather try a different challenge? Look at your kitchen and/or dining room as a whole. Is there an item or color that can be your inspiration for today's project?
Use your item and/or inspiration to make a scrapbook or craft project. Link up any of your projects for this series to THIS MAIN PAGE at any time so that future readers can become inspired by your project!
What a creative idea! Very interesting. I hope I have time to participate.
ReplyDeleteI don't see the linky on the 17th?? It says Here-but there is no linky? Is it just me?
I will double check, but I put it up on Monday. Hope you will join the fun!
