It's time for Project Pinterest..yay! ::happy dance::

First I would like to announce the featured pinner from July...
Teresa Jaye!!
Congrats Teresa, contact me and I'll send you, your Featured Pinterest button!

I will admit, I love Pinterest, just having all that creativity in one place just makes me happy. I don't have to surf the Internet searching for something, I go to one place, and POW...there it is! lol Sometimes I run across ideas that I didn't even know I was looking for!

 Example: this tissue box holder for the car. Like a lot of us, we carry tissues in the car. Some are kept in the glove box, or like me, under the seat, sometimes tossed in the back seat area...which means it gets squished. This is my box from my car, a little warped, a little distressed.

Now to remake this, according to the pin, they want you to go out and buy a container. I rather like upcycling all those plastic containers that I purchased and hoard save, and the reason that I keep them is hoping I can re-use them. It just makes me feel better? My eco-fix so to speak.
Case in point:

Cleaned up, looks like this. Keep the top cardboard piece to cover with paper:

I used Tim Holtz alcohol inks to cover the bottom half:

I cut a hole in the top lid that was 1.25" x 5.25", so that the tissues would come out easily and not tear. The pin didn't have a size listed, but I found this configuration worked well. I tied a couple of ribbons to the top tab ( after punching 2 holes through it ), just because I could, lol I mean you don't have to decorate it at all, especially if it's going under the seat of your car, but what the heck!
