Fun flower pots
Hello it's Jane here today from Jane's Journal with my second DT project for this month's "Pimp it up" challenge. This time I decided to turn an ordinary flower pot into something much more interesting and fun using stamps, paints and inks.
I have a step by step over on my blog here with lots more photos of how my very brown, very ordinary terracotta flower pot got its metamorphosis.
Bye for now,

A little bit of recycling !
Hello everyone,
and welcome to my second project for the April Challenge that is "Pimp it up". I decided on using a piece of a card board box to make a tag.
and welcome to my second project for the April Challenge that is "Pimp it up". I decided on using a piece of a card board box to make a tag.
After I cut the tag (Using a knife and a hole punch) I stripped off some of the paper so the corrugation became visible. I filmed everything after that.
Why not play along with us ! You might just win a voucher for the shop !
Thank you for stopping by today ! I'll be back soon !

Pimp That Binder
Sue
Good morning and happy Friday 13th! Here's my second project for this month's fun challenge, after all you can never have too much storage.
This is an A4 kraft ring binder, and it's been falling off the top shelf for about a year now, so I thought it was time that I did something with it! Please join me over on my blog for more pictures.
Don't forget - no walking under any ladders today!

Hello everybody,
for our April challenge, I altered a box.
I tried to make a mixed media box with inspiration from Finnabair.
I added laces, cheesecloth, chipboard cutouts, metallic pieces etc. to my box.
You can find more details on my blog.
Thank you!

Before you eat all the Easter Eggs, why not pop over to my blog to see how I created it!!
Good morning and happy Easter. I had such fun with this new challenge and it's useful too.
It's a phone holder for my craftroom, as allegedly I lose my phone in there about a hundred times a day. This can't be true as I keep a very tidy craft room (snort's with laughter!).
There are more pictures over on my blog so I would love to see you over there.
Have a very happy April xx
Miriam
Happy Easter to you all. Miriam here with my first project for the April challenge.

Hello there! I do hope you can join our new challenge .... it could be just the excuse you were looking for to upcycle something that you use that looks just a bit ordinary ....it certainly got me busy with our trusty coin tin!!!!
Check out what I did here. Hugs rachel x

Hello everyone,
Hello everyone,
and Happy Easter ! Today sees the start of a new Challenge of which the theme "Pimp it up", reuse or alter, was chosen by the lovely Evelyn. I chose to reuse some old book paper for this art journal spread.
I have filmed to process so please HOP (excuse the pun) over to my YouTube Channel HERE or blog HERE where you'll find a link to the video. Or, you can click on the pic below !
I will be back with more inspiration soon !

Happy Easter everyone and there are double celebrations in my house as today is also my birthday!
For the fun theme this month I "pimped up" a little Links box. I wanted to keep a few of my treasured Links charms in it and also reuse a lovely metal star. This came from a Christmas gift tag my son gave to me. It has been sitting on my side waiting for a home and this was an ideal opportunity to use it.
This is my finished box.
It's very hard to show it in one photo so if you would like to see some before and after photos, as well as a step by step of my processes, do hop pop on over to my blog here. I will raise a virtual glass of bubbly to you all today as I celebrate being a year older.
Have a lovely day.
Beautiful Pimped Up projects from our Design Team and a Happy Easter Sunday Birthday to Jane. So it's over to you now, create your project and link it below with the chance to win a £20 voucher to use on the Country View Crafts website. Thanks to everyone who took up the Postcards challenge last month. There are lots of fantastic entries and the winner will be announced soon.
