This week I found a new challenge. It's current theme is to recycle:

I seem to be a hoarder type person - keep things as they might come in handy! Only trouble is I don't keep them in one place and then can't find them! I had a hunt around and came up with these things:
Then set to work to see what I could use. As you can see, I used two of the items from the photograph but then found something else when I was creating.
Just in case it isn't obvious - the two items that I used are the drinking chocolate container and the ice-cream stick. The additional item is the glittery lime green rectangle. This is the scrap piece from a buckle die-cut. When I die-cut the buckles for another card I ended up with these rectangles from the centres. I just couldn't throw them away as I figured I would find a use for them at some stage!
The image that I have used is the freebie from the challenge and is by Just Some Lines. It is called Tea Party.
Now here is a look from the front of the container:
I'm still not sure whether I am going to use the container with or without the lid. Without the lid, I could store taller items like paintbrushes but I do have a lot of crafty bits that could do with being stored in a lidded container and I've used Distress Inks in a purple and pink range that would allow me to use this lid with the container.
