Jenn (Jax Bean Stalks) is hosting a recycle challenge on her blog. Turn something you would normally throw away, or in this case put in the recycling bin, into something new.  I used this Coke can to make an element on this card:

If you follow my {ippity}blog, you'd recognize this card.  It was one of my first projects made with {ippity} stamps.  I'm still very proud of this project.  Here's a close-up:

I don't know how it is for you, but at work (I'm a teacher) I've earned the reputation of being creative.  The art teacher (who is an artist, not a crafter) was going to throw out this box.  She asked me first if I thought I could use it for something.

I have not idea what came in it, but it turned into a desktop calendar.

Here's the top (outside):

Here is the inside:

Thanks for looking!
