If you take a good look around your home, you will discover lots of fun stuff to upcycle on your projects. Just take a look at design team member Lizzy Hill's project for LESSology Challenge #44: Tick Tock.
Hi there! I thought I'd do a LO for a change!
I've incorporated a number of these little cardstock clock faces - this one has a VERY old rub on flower topped with a button on it....I dug DEEP in my stash for these!!!
I've upcycled a bit of hessian [burlap] for behind my photo.....& I've got lots of metal - going for a 'girly grunge' look....the background on the right is black gesso, then heat embossed with a world map stamp....cos the photo of these girls was taken while they were travelling OS.
Upcycled bits of metal thingies...
& also button...the key has washi covered card stock, punched out in a heart shape that fitted. Bit of luck, that!
And my biggest recycled element...that crocheted doily up top & down bottom, that I've cut up! I really liked the 'net' quality it gave my page! You can see the other metal buttons like dot points for my journaling, bottom left, too:)
Can't wait to see what YOU create for this challenge...
Thanks for looking ~ & happy scrapping ~ Lizzy ♥♥♥

Oh wow Lizzy - this is awesome! I can't believe how many items you've upcycled! And how clever is that stamped background!
Soooooooooo gorgeous! LOVING the clocks and that amazing background you created!!!!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! If this could be any cooler it would be an ice cube. Sorry for the terrible analogy, but I LOVE everything about this. All those metallic bits and bobs just pop right off the black background. GREAT work!
Super cool Lizzy Hill with your girlie grunge! ;-) Loving the black gesso!
