All Unwrapped

Hi Everyone

It's challenge time again over at  Recycle, Re-Purpose & Re-Invent challenge   The theme this month is Anything Goes with no bonus round . You must use something  Recycled in your project. For the past couple of weeks. I have been privileged enough to have been playing and testing out   CS Designs  New Funky Art Doll Kit. Ooh!!!! I have had so much fun with them. They are just sooo!!!!! cute. You can dress them up pose them add different faces and accessories. Anyway for this challenge I decided to use up some of the packaging from parcels that I had received which included Bubble wrap, Brown paper, Corrugated cardboard, Kraft card and string. I printed the art doll template onto the Kraft card also a cs designs Spirrelli round for her hair. I made her clothes and boots from corrugated cardboard and bubble wrap added the string coloured her cute face with pro markers. I found an old watch box which I covered with cardboard and stuffed with bubble wrap. Made the Handle With Care sentiment on my computer, oh and I used brads to join my doll together. Here she is trying to escape.

DT SHOUT OUT

Hi Everyone

I have some exciting news for you all. I have been asked by my good friend Elaine to be Design  Team  Leader for her up and coming challenge blog  Eclectic Ellapu. For more info please read the folowing......

Today I Ellapu , do launch a shout out for those slightly mad enough to be on my design team LOL! I aim to have at least 6 DT's to start with. This is a new venture for me and am quite excited about it all.I have my good friend Paula onboard as my Design Team Leader (well that is what she is known as right now.. waiting for her title preference LOL)

I want this challenge blog to encompass all styles of creativity. There will be no set images to use and it will be your own interpretation of the theme set - as long as we can see in what way your project clearly fits the theme! No good trying to pass a fairy off as an alligator!

The challenges will be fortnightly and each DT will produce one project for each challenge.

DT's will host challenges in rotation and have the autonomy to pick the winner. top 3 etc.

I am hoping to have the first challenge up and running the second week in October, date to be decided upon.Those chosen will need to be up and ready for first DT submission for first week in October.

No need for experience to apply, we all have to start somewhere.

If you think you would like to be part of this venture then please link up below. We will enjoy browsing your blogs. Our DT call will end Sept 12. I will announce the unlucky chosen few within the following fortnight after close date. I do hope to see alot of interest in my quest.

Please link up and join in. I don't bite and neither does Paula. Any questions can be left in comment box....
