Trash to Vintage Treasure

Welcome to another Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow and the first monthly  TRASH TO VINTAGE TREASURE challenge.  We want you to make a project incorporating paper that turns throw-away items into a vintage treasure.

For this challenge, off-cuts or scraps in your craft room do not qualify - you can use them as part of the project but they are not to be considered the throw-away items.  Instead we want you to take everyday items that you would normally throw in the garbage or in your recycling bin and turn them into something fabulous.  This is the time to do your part for the environment and show us how green you can be. By the way, please include photos of your throw-away items before they are transformed in your blog post so we can see what your treasure looked like when it was still trash.

Please remember that we are a vintage challenge blog so your final product must be of a vintage style.

We will be choosing a random winner who will receive a digi of our choice and a winner's badge to display on her blog.  In addition, the Design Team will choose one project as Card of the Week (or shall we say Project of the Week) and the creator will receive a badge to display on her blog and will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.

Our designers have created some wonderful projects for your inspiration.  To get details and see what their throw-away items are, just click on their names and you will be taken directly to their blogs.

For trash items I headed to my recycle bin before it went to the curb for pick-up.  I have used cardboard from the shipping box my husbands new shoes came in to make a panel behind the vintage car.  I peeled the top layer off, cleaned it up and then distressed it with some Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

I used a cake mix box to make the gears, which I cut with my Cricut and then painted.
