We are trying something new here at the Scarlet Lime Blog! Each month a design team member will host a challenge, just for YOU! These will post on the first of each month and all entries will be due on the last day of each month. They will be fun and inspiring and help you get the most out of your Scarlet Lime Kits....PLUS, there will be a FUN prize for one lucky entrant! So let's welcome March with a fun challenge.
As we all know, St. Patrick's Day is in March. What you probably don't know is that green is my favorite color, so I will take ANY excuse I have to celebrate it. But we are going to take a bit of twist on "green" and focus on the "go green" aspect of March... This month, I challenge you to: CREATE A LAYOUT OR PROJECT THAT USES RECYCLED PACKAGING !
Now this can be as intricate and detailed or quick, simple and literal translation as you would like. You can create a mini book out of the box that your kit is shipped in, cut out the adorable designs from some Prima packaging...or do something as simple as I did as use a backing from one of the Pink Paislee rub ons and created my own cloud mask.
Here is an example of how I recycled the packaging:
I simply used a sharpie to draw some clouds. Then cut them out and used them on a sheet of cardstock and used the Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist from the Scarlet Lime February Main kit and created my own cloud background:
Here is the finished project:
So there is a tiny bit of inspiration to get you started. The challenge is open starting March 1st and will end at midnight PST on March 31st. Simply create a project following this month's challenge guidelines, then come back and leave a link in THIS post to your project in the comments section. Special Note: you do NOT have to use Scarlet Lime kits, you are free to use whatever products you would like. One lucky winner will be chosen at random to receive a $25 gift certificate to the Scarlet Lime Shop! We look forward to seeing YOUR creative uses of packaging!
Have so many ideas! Getting started right now!!!!
