Re Use Up Cycle Kitchen Jars!

Why buy mason jars? We can use the ones we have leftover from mayo, mustard etc. 

Only download labels! Or design them yourself! 

See the jars I upcycled reuse or recycle from my kitchen! 

First clean the jar very ver well!!

Take out the label with warm soapy water  then I use a little of alcoohol (Do not do this in the kitchen, near fire or enclosed place, please be careful because alcoohol is very very flammable); rub it on the leftover glue.

When the jars are clean let them dry and apply the labels with a glue I used acrylic glue and I varnish the labels first to seal them, so this protect them from grease & water.

I design all to my taste! And also cover the tops! If you like the design you can download them from dowload page for free! 

Coffee Recycling Center for my Kitchen! Graphic 45

Hello every one!
Sorry again for delay, but as usual I was away and having fun!
But time to get doing something!
I know there is a challenge from Graphic 45 and guest what? Yes
Is about re-use and recycling or up-cycling! And as you know I love that kind of challenges! Weeee!
If you have snails in your garden, one way to keep them far away is using coffee...yes the leftover coffee, but I needed a nice container to put the waste so when I have enough of it I use it in the garden around the places and plants that t he snail like most so they run away (to another garden) jajajaja....not nice.
I use coffee because it works, I don't have to buy harsh pesticide and waste money!
so here it is tara:
Hope you like it!

Yes we drink lots of coffee!

And only Volcanic Highlands Coffee!

The How too is here in this link:

Bible quotes Recycled Journal! Paper pad holder from Graphic 45! weee!

Looking for some quite and peaceful inspiration?
Here it is!
Wow Doing this Journal is something extra for me; had been reading the Bible for verse, switching my imagination and  had been feeling very peaceful and relax...
Well, let me tell you a history a friend and I decide to interchange a journal with inspirational quotes, and we though what better place to star with the Bible.
I must confess there is only 1 page by now that isn't re use or  up-cycle.

Done over a piece of cardboard from something  a cover it with a leftovers of craftpapapers, the doll dress is
made from Graphic 45   pieces and bits.  Nothing goes to the bin!

This page and the below is the reverse. I use a f/c paper that went wrong, paste over them some
leftovers papers and embellish.

The bird is from and old calendar, the words a leftover paper bits and paint a little
over it.

This one was made in plain paper I didn't re use anything. Of course the markers jajajaj

Using some packaging, I cover it with gesso, and draw and paint
the scene. Below is the reverse.

I cover t his side with a cover from a paper pad, the figures come from an
old calendar and magazine nad add bits from leftover papers.

Use packaging and painted with gesso, when it is really dry, then draw over it and painted.

Try to make it like a mixed media canvas, using a packaging, cover it with gesso
then adding some dimension with paste, some old book paper, draw a heart, use a embossing
powders and voila! 

Cover the packaging with old book papers, applied gesso and draw.

Well here is the paper pas holder! I was so happy to find the right box for my 8x8 paper pads!
Its from a water jug but it did the work!
I cover it with Graphic 45, papers.

Using Bohemian Baazar from Graphic 45 I cover the box with it, using matte ModPodge.

This is the front.

Hope you enjoy...
