Challenge Sept 1- Sept-27 Anything Goes but Must Recycle
Hello all, hope you had a great summer and looking forward to Fall and some beautiful colors. Before getting started with this months challenge, I would like to share our Winners for July. As always we had some wonderful entries and hope everyone went and checked them out. Below you will find our Top 3 as well as 3 Honorable Mentions that inspired us with some great creations and ideas.
Special Note from Chris / CS Designs: Those of you that follow in Recycle, Re-Purpose & Re-Invent / challenges, probably noticed that there was no challenge for August. Sorry about that, I have been really struggling with my health these days and the past couple of months have not been particularly a good month for me and even finding it difficult to be creative. Unfortunately my health is not something that is easily fixed but I'm willing to give up with what I love and promise to try my best to continue to keep the challenges going and inspire you with our challenges and the fabulous projects shared by all who enter.
This month for some wonderful inspiration is a beautiful Recycled and Altered Puzzle Piece project by Brigitte from La maison de Coutureuse. Who is Our Featured Guest Artist for this month.
Puzzle pieces are among my favorite projects these days and I am sure you will all agree that Brigitte has done an amazing job on hers.
A little about Brigitte: I'm french and I live on the west of France. I love mixed media, with paint, glue, paper, plaster, fabric, ink, stamps... everything is perfect for me. This month I work with a digital stamp and a recycled puzzle.
