Swap Sisters Recycle Challenge

Welcome to my blog and my first post.  Last week or maybe the week before my new friend and fellow SU Demo Megan McDonald invited me to join Swap Sisters and since that day I have completed two of the challenges issues by their fantastic creative team which has lead me to the land of BLOG because to participate one needs a BLOG for MR Linky(yup all new and weird lingo added to my vocab and honestly I will probably muck up or get in trouble but I see it as a very steep learning curve that may also be a passing FAD! haha), anyways I saw the recycle challenge and i had this DYMO case floating around in my bag as i needed to buy a replacement and for some strange reason it said to me "Recycle Me" so I have I made it into a ribbon dispenser and I will give it to a lucky hostess!
BEFORE
AFTER

I used the basic gray designer paper that is a Level 1 hostess gift, so saffron and certainly celery ribbon which is now retired, dimensionals, sticky strips and a non regulation silver flower brad.

Now that I have finished it I think it looks like a tape measure. LOL

Thanks for looking, have a great day!  Amanda

  1. This is way too cute Amanda!

    I would never have thought to alter something like this and it has turned out fantastic!

    What a great example of SU product. Will have to run off and do a few for classes next week.

    Congratulations also for taking the steep jump into Blogland - it is fun and I am sure that you will enjoy it immensely!

    Thanks for the shout out and taking the Challenge at Swap Sisters
