GC50: Spicy Supply Challenge - Found Objects

Welcome to our 50th challenge! It's time for another Spicy Supply challenge and in keeping with our Earth friendly theme this month, we want to see your creations using

FOUND OBJECTS

Created by Dan

The Design Team came upon some awesome found objects for their creations. Dan included a bottle cap, Hels altered a spoon and Lynn altered a fuse box. Joanne and Jean included botanical finds in their pieces, such as twigs and seed pods. Debby utilized a piece of a broken lamp in her card and Jules some vintage pen nibs. Irit incorporated lots of old game pieces in her layout and I included an old key, buttons and vintage ephemera in mine.

One randomly drawn winner will be featured as the Gingersnaps Yahoo Group Home Page Artist as well as on the sidebar of the Gingersnap Creations blog for one week!

When the challenge closes on May 9, 2010, we will pick 7 Ginger Gems - fabulous creations that we feel really exemplify that challenge's objective. The Ginger Gems will appear in our wrap-up post and in a slide show in the blog bar for the entire week after the challenge wrap-up is announced and their creators will have the honor of displaying our Ginger Gems blog badge.

For your chance to be eligible as a Ginger Gem or as a Home Page Artist, just follow the simple guidelines below:

1) Make a paper crafting or mixed media creation using one or more found objects;

2) Post your creation to your blog or online gallery with a mention and link to this post; and

3) Come back to this post and leave a comment including a DIRECT link to your creation or use Mister Linky below.Remember to make it a link to the specific post or picture and not just a general link to your blog or gallery. We need to be able to find your art!
