Happy Saturday everyone.
Time for another challenge at the CES Challenge Blog.
Our lovely host this week is Sheena and she has chosen the theme RECYCLE
You can use re-use something for a project or add a recycled element to your card, just let us know which part of it is recycled.
If you're anything like me, you will have a drawer full of odds and ends that you just CAN'T throw away.
Why not have a rummage in there and see what you come up with. 
I have turned some small cereal boxes into mini file holders.
This is what I started with -
I marked approx 1 inch out from the top left of the box and 2 inches up from the right side of the box, drew a diagonal line to join these marks up and then cut it out.
On the other side mark from the right 1 inch out and up 2 inches, from the left side.
I'm making this sound so much more complicated than it really is. ;-)
Just check out the photo below and you will see better how it's cut.
Once it was cut out, I used Fancy Pants 'It's the Little Things' DP to cover it. This is a really great paper, and I've found it so versatile, you can get it now at Crafty Emma's and if you're popping over there check out the other fabulous papers she has in stock.
To finish I added some silver tape, card candi and a label.
Usually, when I stamp an image, I stamp it 2 or three times, so that if I mess up with my colouring I have a fresh one, ready to start again. Now, instead of just dropping these into a drawer, I can keep them neatly organised.
Well - that's the theory! ;-)
Well - that's the theory! ;-)
Don't forget to pop on over to my teamies blogs,

to spend in the store (excl p&p)
And here's a quick look at one of the gorgeous new Authentique papers that Emma has available to pre-order.

Fab 'n' Funky - "It's a hard theme" (Something that you find hard to do. I think re-cycling is a tricky one. Trying to turn something that you would throw out into something useful can be difficult.
