Cards for Men - Challenge 1 - "Recycling"

Good Morning Everyone, and a Happy New Year to you all, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are already to start crafting again, I know I am so for our first Challenge this year we want to see you "Recycling" something, and Im sure you must have lots of things around the house that can be used either as a project or perhaps on your card. Anyway we are being sponsered by "One Stop Card Shop"

and they are offering you a Gift Certificate of £10. to spend in the webshop, and here is what they say about themselves:-

At One Stop Card Crafts we have a big range of ever changing discount card making and cardmaking craft supplies.We are always adding to our range of craft supplies which are ideal for making handmade greeting cards, do-it-yourself invitations scrapbook pages, altered items and much more.
Our card making craft supplies include free UK postage* and our popular discount scheme and quick service means our customers keep coming back for more.

Our prices are very competitive and this makes us an ideal place to buy your cardmaking supplies online.

Free postage is quite a rarity so I think it would be a good idea to give them a visit. And now here is my project for this Challenge.

I have used an empty Sudocream pot to create a store for all bits and bobs men seem to hoard.

I actually printed two sheets of paper from the My Craft Studio Steampunk set of designs, and wrapped the first one around the pot and stuck it down, then I used some silver trimmings around the bottom.
For the lid I cut out a circle and then cut lots of slits to mould around the lid and stuck them underneath, and Ive used a bit more of the silver rimmings around the rim. To finish of the lid I used a cog left from the front and stuck a large nut in the centre for a means of removing the lid. To finish of the front of my pot Ive used several cogs cut out with the Nestabilitie Tim Holtz cog set, and burnished them with some old gold cream and stuck them to the bottom of the pot for some texture.
I do hope that now youve seen my project for this "Recycling" Challenge I do hope that you will go and visit our Cards for Men Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and maybe you will also want to take part in this Challenge.
