It's Kitchen Sink Stamps Challenge Day - this month's challenge hostess is Lynn. Her challenge is to take some previously used non-stamping item that is headed for the trash can and turn it into a component in your Kitchen Sink project either as a layer or embellishment of some sort! Trash to Treasure so to speak!
For my challenge piece I used a box that my friend Robin had send me a few months ago. She said her daughter had received some kind of makeup in the box, and thought it would be something I'd like to alter. I thought the box would be perfect to collect shells and whatnot at the beach. I ripped and sponged some Baja Breeze card stock from Stampin' Up!, to resemble water, then used the Kitchen Sink Stamps 3 Step Sea Shells to stamp images to add to the panels. All shells are stamped as follows, with the exception of the Conch Shell - Creamy Caramel stamped off, Caramel, Caramel. The Conch was stamped in Blush, Caramel, Caramel, Caramel and Caramel.

Very creative GF! The shells look oh so real....
How fabulous, Lisa!! I know I have thrown a couple of these boxes away in my day!! But yours is now a sensational collection box for those treasured beach shells the children cannot resist!! I couldn't resist them either, if I had this wonderful treasure chest to place them in!!
Beautiful box and project!! I love how you made the shells nestle in the "water"!! What a fun box - so funny we both had the same idea too! :)
What a fabulous alternation!! I love how you decorate the box. My DD has shell collections and this could be a perfect one to keep them! TFS~
