From Trash to Treasure
This week's challenge at Heart 2 Heart is Reduce, Reuse, or Recycle. So..should I reduce my collection of tin cans and glass jars? Or should I reuse from my stash of embellishments pulled off old projects? Or should I use something already in the trash? I decided to check the trash cans. Kitchen trash had some more tin cans and jars but they were dirty. The bathroom trash yielded a silver box that used to contain the bar of soap. But the big find was in my trash can in my stamping room. Voila, an empty box of Glue Dots has been transformed!
One empty box of Glue Dots 
Open the box to be flat. 
Cut off 1" and cover with Sweetheart BTP. 
Glue covered box back together and decorate. Fill with your favorite treats, 3 X 3 cards, all those packages of Opaques and sparkles,etc.
CTMH Supplies:
Paper: Sweetheart, Holligans
Cardstock: White Daisy, Sweetleaf
Ink: Cotton Candy, Pear, Gypsy
Stamps: Pennant Alphabet, Universal Background, Party Pennants
Embellishments: Sweet Leaf Ribbon, Pink Assorted buttons, Pretty Pins, White Daisy Mini Medley
