Hi my paper lovin' friends! I'm sorry this is my first post of the week. Last week I mentioned that I was doing some redecorating around my home. My first project...I making a slip cover for my sofa...well it's taking a bit longer than expected. I've taken some pictures along the way, I'll be sharing soon.
As for today's project for My Creative Time, Emma asked us to make a 3D project using something that is usually tossed {packaging, tags, string or elastic, bread
ties, toilet paper/towel rolls etc}. Love anything that helps me save money and the earth! I choose to use a toilet paper roll and make it a pocket to hold "Conversation Starter Cards".
All I did was flatten the roll and added adhesive to one end to create a pocket!
Then I just decorated it with paper, stitching, flower petal dies, and more! I used the stamp from My Creative Time's Lots of Love stamp set. I just love that sentiment!
I thought these "conversation cards" would be fun to ask on a date night. We went out with another couple last weekend and used them. Believe it or not, even after almost 28 years together we didn't alway know how each other would answer!

Liz ~ Okay this is GORGEOUS! Who would have thought toilet paper rolls could look this AMAZING ~ YOU! From the papers to the details ~ WOW! I have to say this would be so fun to do!! My hubs could get himself in trouble but yet when people ask us how long we have been married I NEVER get it right! LOL! I wish I was kidding! I bet that was fun for the other couple too! AWESOME recycle project and idea!
What a fun idea and a beautiful project. I have rolls saved also. Now when you are through with the questions you could pass it on as a gift to another couple to use. Great job! Good luck with the decorating the house and the cover.
