Look at this awesome pup creation made with lots and lots of tissue paper and a a healthy dose of masking tape. These two  friends collaborated to share  in something special. Working together enriched a bond between them and constructed a best friend for anyone who meets their cute little pup.

This school project was so fun to make, Niklas could virtually experience what it must be like to drive a moon rover over crevices and boulders on the moons rocky terrain.This virtual scene stemmed from a need to complete a moon project for school and the interesting prospect a tin mint container provided.

I feel like I am in the passenger seat on this fantastic space odyssey.

Sydney and Blair decided to create decorative pieces to display in their rooms at home.

The glass jars were the perfect template for mixing ribbons, scrapbooking papers and baubles to get just the right looks to tickle their fancy. To think these beauties used to be plain old jam and relish jars…

Ever imagine yourself somewhere far away or even near but so clearly you think you are there.

Jordan could see a setting with a babbling brook and a little  cabin, a place so pretty it had to be shared with a friend.

She used many everyday items to bring her setting to life like paper, bubble wrap, carpet, ribbon and rocks. I can hear the water running  down the river  now.

Drum roll please…

Domonique and her Mom had so much fun making a rockstar drum kit complete with cymbals. They created these musical gems  from tin and plastic containers, fabric scarps, and lots of sparkly confetti!

They might have to start a family band.

A little cardboard, some fabric, a plastic container, shredded newspaper and an array of acrylic paint were the perfect ingredients to bring Montana’s mixed media  self portrait to life.  A lovely portrait in deed.

Buttons have such a whimsical feel when assemble in a colorful array. Tabi thought they made an excellent Christmas tree to celebrate her holiday spirit. As if to give a feel of rich velvet she set her pretty tree against a piece of cardboard painted with chalkboard paint, that way she can add special messages or leave her artists signature as pictured.

James had a big idea to build a small city out of  bolts.  Just bolts and a spring for good measure. He had such fun digging through the machine parts bin to find just the right pieces for his city, so majestic on it’s small scale.

It’s not a material that is donated often, but when there are bits and pieces  in the leather, pleather and faux fur bin it tends to inspires wonderful creations.

As soon as Vendela saw this material she was sure she was making a puppy pencil holder.

With the help of her moms  trusty skills with a glue gun skills Vendela put together a heartwarming holder complete with a little football eraser nose!

Isn’t he adorable!

Chelsea was inspired when she came to CReATE, looking through bins here and there. Hmm, what to make she wondered as she took it all in? 

Something about the combination of blank cards and the alphabet rubber stamp collection seemed to take hold of her senses and away she went creating cards for all of her friends!

How special it will be for friends to receive one of Chelsea’s hand crafted cards. They will certainly know just how special they are to her.
