Hello! It's Wednesday, so it's time for another ATS Challenge. This week's challenge is "Anything But a Card." You know I've had Christmas in July on my mind this week, so my project is another wintery creation!
This container started out as Maxwell House Filter Packs -- I had taken them on vacation with us several months ago. And, like any good papercrafter, I saved the box for later recycling! It is now a "Snow Day Survival Kit," filled with hot cocoa packs and peppermint sticks! I covered the container with paper from My Mind's Eye.
I just love this image of Lulu and her snowman friend from Wintertime Fun. I think it's one of my favorite C.C. Designs images! I used Rectangle Nestabilities to cut out the image panel and mat. I colored the image with Copics, and I used Liquid Applique (heated to puff it up) for the trim on Lulu's coat. I added Stickles, Ghost Shapes snowflakes, glitter dots, and ribbon!
I can think of so many people I could give this to -- neighbors, teachers, even the mail carrier or bus driver! You could certainly change this seasonally, too -- lots of possibilities!
Want to play along? Use the keyword ATSDTC10 when uploading your project to a public gallery. The DT projects for this challenge will be on the ATS Blog later on -- you can leave a link on that post, too! All the ATS Challenges can be found HERE -- you can do any of them at any time! :)
Tomorrow is the big day -- my Blogaversary Giveaway!!!!! I hope you'll be back! I also have more Dare to Get Dirty challenge projects to share! Thanks so much for visiting today -- I always appreciate it! Have a great day! :)
