It is the last day to enter your recycled projects into our Torendi Earth Day Blog Hop giveaway! Play along to win (follow the link to the original post)!

First Annual Earth Day Blog Hop! *Challenge and Giveaways*

Welcome! Thank you for joining us for the first annual Torendi Earth Day Blog Hop! This is actually our first official Torendi Blog hop as well! So exciting! We all know that paper crafting may not be the most eco-freindly craft but we can do our part to help make it more friendly to the environment. All the Torendi DT members have projects on their blogs today and the only "requirement" was that it be related to the Earth in some way.  It could be a "recycled" project, a card to celebrate the day, or maybe even a layout about planting a garden. 

For this project I decided to upcycle my face moisturizer container.  The packaging stickers came off SO easily and it was also a breeze to clean! 

Have you seen this technique before? I learned about it taking Claudine Hellmuth's class at CHA and wanted to share.  I took a scrap piece of Bam Pop paper (notice scrap..that's being Earth friendly but not wasting those tiny pieces of paper) and placed it face down on to the sticky side of Claudine's Sticky Back Canvas.  You then wet the paper and rub it off.  The images is now on fabric!! How cool it that?!

Here is my finished project!

A better view of the lid and new Bam Pop "fabric".

Torendi Products Used

Torendi "A Kawaii Day" Rub-ons

Bam Pop Volume 3 Paper collection 

Stamps from "Framed Cuteness"

Cosmo Cricket the Boyfriend Chipboard

So before I send you on your way to see our FABULOUS Spotlight designer Beth, let me tell you what we are "playing" for!

If you want to join in the Earth friendly fun, our CHALLENGE to you is to make a project that has some sort of "recycled" materials in it and link it back to us in the comments below. You will be entered to win some Cosmo Cricket Earth Love Chipboard. Please have all entries in by next Thursday, April 29th.

If you just want to leave some love on ALL the DT blogs today (including this one), you will be entered to win some "Fresh Mix" Veggie Felties. There are 2 sets of Felties up for grabs.  All winners will be announced Friday April 30th.

Ok now off you go to see Beth's blog! HAPPY EARTH DAY! 

Mod Podge Rocks Friday!

Hi everyone, welcome back to another Mod Podge Rocks Friday!  

Wasn't Tiff's canvas just adorable last week?  I hope everyone has been enjoying the post over at Amy's blog too! This week it's my turn (Jenn) to share a Mod Podge project with you.  I find myself saving all kinds of jars, cardboard, and other items that I think would be great to upcycle, so I thought that I should actually do that today! I had no idea what I was going to make when I started this project, just that I was going to use this artichoke jar and Mod Podge. 

First I picked my paper from the Bam Pop! Volume 3 paper pack and went to work.  I used the Mod Podge to glue it down to the jar lid and also to seal it to the jar after it was on.  I then used the Mod Podge to glue on the American Crafts Ribbon around the edge.  After I did that I decided it would be a cute candy jar for my girls.  I knew the perfect images I wanted to use from the Torendi "A Kawaii Day" Rub-ons. Oh and the little white dots are from the Thickers in our "POP" kit.

Thank for joining us today for some Mod Podge fun!  Don't forget that we will be doing a weekly giveaway for a Mod Podge Starter pack! So leave a comment and check out Amy's blog to win this!
