Do you get the title? Well, here's the down-low. The Farm Fresh Challenge Blog is doing a throwback challenge, but this time, with a TWIST! The throwback challenge requires you to break out your "old" TGF singles, set, or kits (which let's face it...aren't that old, lol). So what's the twist? Make . . . Anything But a Card! Bookmarks, altered items, notebooks, 3D projects, whatever you'd like as long as it's not a card and that you use a Throwback eligible stamp! Click {HERE} to see the EXCLUSION LIST.
I sorta cheated here, but hey, my project fits the requirements! :) This is an altered wooden tissue box featuring one of the Anya's from the Miss Anya Collection. I made not one, but 2! My son gave these to his teachers at the end of the school year . . . yep, at the end of May. I just never had the time to post it so here it is! (I'll post the second one at a later time). :)
Anya is colored with Distress Inks and also distressed all around the tissue box. I got the idea from my sweet friend Kim - - she also made an altered tissue box some time ago and thought I'd give it a try. Click {HERE} to see her box. Your jaw will drop!
This is one panel.
This is the back panel. I wanted to add these sentiments to remind the teachers that they just have to laugh. It's so easy to get caught up in the work, dealing with certain situations, and of course, teaching the young children. Instead of crying out of frustration, "Laugh Till You Cry"! INSPIRE . . . I don't even have to explain that one!
And, this is the top view. The other two panels I left plain. Didn't want to overdo it yet I was pressed for time as well.
The FFF challenges runs until Thursday, entries are due by 12 PM CST. The winner will receive a free single TGF stamp of choice! Please upload your challenge cards to TGF Galleria> Farm Fresh Challenges 2011> Throwback Challenges> Challenge 2. Hope you'll join us! I luv 3D projects of any kind so I'm looking forward to seeing what y'all come up with! Have a great weekend!
