Joan's Gardens Challenge & Goodwill Finds

WOW!  I can't believe it's time for another challenge at Joan's Gardens ... 

the week's are just FLYING BY!!

Summer will be here before you know it!!!

Today she has requested the following ...

• Create a Get Well card.
• Color theme should be Green and White
• Use some type of basket
• Use some kind of Pattern Paper

This creations was SO MUCH FUN to make!  Since I needed a 'BASKET' and I don't have any of the new Marianne Basket Dies that Joan has available in the store ... I went with this adorable digi image from Shelly's Images.  My background paper comes from the Echo Park Paper Co. 'Victoria Gardens' 6x6 pack.  The flowers & lady bugs are actually EK Success 'stickers'  ... cute huh!  I have popped up the top back part of the basket to give it dimension and added a few other floral stickers that I had in my scrapbooking stash.

I must tell you, these challenges at Joan's Gardens ALWAYS make me THINK and get CREATIVE!  So ... if you haven't joined in the fun ... you are truly missing out!  Be sure to pop over to JOAN'S GARDENS and not only join in the challenge fun each week ... but also look through the fabulous list of products she carries in her store!  You will be AMAZED ...

Before I leave you, I wanted to share a few of the 'goodies' my friend Lana & I found at the Goodwill yesterday that we will be CHALLENGING EACH OTHER TO ALTER over the next several months.

We both have this EXACT same 'yellow painted wood framed mirror' ... hmmm I'd better get my thinking cap on ... this is going to be our NEXT CHALLENGE  PROJECT . . .

 Here is a 'Shadow Box' ... Lana has something similar that she will be working on while I work on this one!

We will both be altering a 'clock'  ...

And ... we will both be altering a 'Jewelry Box'.  

This should be fun and should take into next HOLIDAY SEASON to complete!  LOL!!  

As I stated above, the YELLOW MIRROR will be our NEXT challenge project ... so be watching for the end results ... should be great fun!!!  This will actually be the THIRD time we have had an ALTER CHALLENGE between the two of us! 
Here is a quick recap of the first two . . .

How much fun is it to not only take Trash and turn it into TREASURE ... but to see how the exact same items can be transformed TOTALLY DIFFERENT ... one friend to another is FABULOUS!  

You should give it a try ...  sure makes you look at JUNK differently!!  LOL!!

Thanks every for stopping by today and hope you're having a wonderful day!
