Welcome to Day 2 of Smudgefest! For all the details on the challenge, please visit the first post. Thank you all so much for participating in yesterday's challenge! What an amazing variety of projects! We are stoked to move on to today's challenge and see what you can muster up, and hope you are as well.
Welcome to Day 2 of SmudgeFest!!
The Challenge: TRASHY TUESDAY
Create a project by upcycling some of your trash! Be sure to pick something that is obviously trash (i.e. soda can, bottle tops,
bread closure tabs, etc.).
Now I have made something using an old book... well I think Mills & Boon is Trash, so it works for me LoL I also fished a couple of old CDs out of the office bin and used those as well for the bases.
My main image on the top is "Dead Dancer 2" from SMEARED INK . I 'fussy cut' her 8 times and layered her up with silicone to make her 3D (Oh, where is my melting pot ???? on it's way across the pond !! Grin) Anyhoo, there she stands atop my old book ATC, business card/whatever holder :-D She looks the same from the other side. :-D I used papers from the Jezebel's Remains set from Crafty Chaos Designs.
Now - you may not think M&B are trashy but old CDs... I mean - they're OK right ??... they were in the bin, so I am sure this will qualify :-D
So here it is in all it's glory... who'd have thought a trashy book would come good ?? LoL
The Prize:
Time to get trashy! Remember, be sure to link up by midnight tonight to qualify for the daily (and grand) prize. Then check back tomorrow for the new theme.
