Challenge RECYCLING WEEK – Vintage Santa
STAMP-N-DOODLE challenge
again this week, couldn’t believe tuesday morning had come around and I hadn’t made my DT entry yet arghhhhh
….I had to get thinking quick…..what can I RECYCLE, our challenge this week?
i would also like to congratulate DANIE MAY whose name was drawn from the list of comments from last week to receive the SKATEBOARDING DIGI STAMP is used on last weeks card – pleasecontact me with your email.
Now that we have all become aware of the nuisance of plastic bags, shops are now issuing paper bags – HOORAY, but it means as in true crafters style I squirrel them away especially if I have managed to get them home (with contents) in a reasonable condition.
Branded bags I use as waster paper bins, so when full they go straight into the recycling wheelie bin.
This one however was plain and perfect for altering…….what do you think?
I tried something different and printed the Father Christmas digi onto Kraft paper and coloured with promarkers….I really like the effect.
