New Project as a new DT member and a Blog Hop Challenge

(This post will be staying at the top until October 13th)  



Hello my Dear Sweet Friends

Happy Happy first day of October. I don't know about you but I am enjoying the cooler weather although I am definitely not ready for winter. 

I have some wonderful things to share with you today - one of which is the re-opening of the:

Re-Cycle, Re-Purpose and Re-Invent 

I am so honored to be a part of the new design team and I am sharing my first two projects today.  We are also having a blog hop and that information is included just a little further down in this post.

I am also entering these projects in the following challenges:


Altered Eclectics Challenge

Rhedd's Creative Spirit

Through The Craft Room Door

WagsNWhiskers

Brown Sugar Challenge Blog

FabnFunky Challenges

Creative KnockOuts

Crafting by Designs





 And of course these are the two items I used for the projects above.



We're Also Having A Blog Hop with lots of Fun Prizes
To help us Celebrate our 1st challenge here on Recycle, Re-Purpose and Re-Invent. 
 
There are 7 blogs participating in this Hop and 6 Great Prizes to be given out. Because we want you to become acquainted with our  fabulous new team you must  visit and leave a comment on Every Participating Project Post along the way in order to be eligible to win any of our prizes.

  3. Laine, Two fabulous projects. I love what you recycled and the fantastic things you did with them. Never in my wildest dreams would I ever have though of recycling a bucket like this, It's a toss up which is more amazing what you did with it or your imagination for thinking of it. Your altered Poe also makes a great statement and would love pieces like this hanging around my art room, just wonderful.

Hello dear sweet friends - As some of you already know I had a different post here earlier today.  I have moved that post to my Life Lessons from Hercules Blog which I have been wanting to start for quite some time now.  And so, if you feel so inclined - you can check out my new blog and let me know what you think. (For this card I wanted to use my scraps of paper and other embellishments that are over six months old.  And I achieved that by using the brown lace and butterflies.  In fact, they are almost a year old and I have just been saving them for something special.   With hugs and smiles Laine I am also submitting this card to the following challenges: Twist of Faith Challenge #10 - A Sketch Challenge Craft Door Magazine - Challenge #43 Anything Goes Paper Take Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes Lady Anne's Challenges - Anything Goes Stampin Sisters in Christ - Challenge 164 Challenges for Everybody - #6 Stampin for the Weekend
