An Old Pane...and Saying Good Bye

It's another wonderful Monday, and a new beginning to a work week as well as a new beginning to a challenge at Simon Says Stamp & Show. 
From upcycling to playing with your favorite green ink pad, this week we’re all about how good it is to "Be Green". Whether you want to use something that would otherwise be garbage on a project and be inspired to be environmentally friendly, or if you want to play with the color we hope you’ll join us. Maybe, you'll do both and upcycle an old green colored something. What to choose? From recycling to upcycling, and frogs to leaves,  or olive to kelly, we look forward to seeing all things green this week. 

Not only is this a new beginning to a challenge, but it's also a new beginning for me, as this is sadly my last challenge at Simon. It's time for me to focus on other things for the moment.  I cannot thank the ladies, the DT, and all the followers at Simon Says Stamp & Show enough for all their goodness in soooo many ways! It has been a most awesome experience! Thank you all for following me and commenting on all the SSS&S posts here as well! I treasure all of you!

I had to clean it up a lot, and remove all the old chalking and paint.

I made a terrible but fun mess!

I gave the frame new paint with Ranger's Pearl Paint Dabber.

I stamped all over the frame with Jet Black Archival and a few Stamper's Anonymous images from Tim Holtz.

I cut the cork and adhered it to corrugated board that fit into one of the panes.

I cut and fit magnetic panels and adhered it onto corrugated cardboard as well for another pane.

I stapled metal mesh that was originally for cooking veggies on the barbeque grill onto another pane, and used screw eyes and twine to make a hanging line in the last pane.

 

 

 

 

Do you like to make old things into new things? Or, do you like the color green? If so, create a project with either or both in mind, and then enter it into our challenge. You just might be the lucky winner of a $50 voucher to Simon Says Stamp. You can also be named as one of the "Top Three Picks" for this challenge. Good luck, and don't forget to check out the other Design Team member's blogs to see how green they've become this week!
