Use a household product theme for the March 2020 challenge at APTS blog

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog with a post that revolves around creative resourcefulness! What can you upcycle from something found in your house? Maybe it's not upcycling. Maybe it's repurposing. Whatever sparks your creativity in this, it might be difficult to outdo the rest of the design team crew of APTS blog!

For my resident designer (DT crew) inspiration project(s), I got the brainstorm about using the word "ultrabrite"/ultrabright for adjectives to make a friendship card and an encouragement/sympathy card=

Card #1= larger font size brand name from toothpaste packaging


Card #2= medium font size brand name from the same toothpaste packaging

b. lots of scraps used today!--both of cardstock and patterned papers--win-win

c. "Ultrabrite" TM panels cut from 1 box that a tube of toothpaste came in.
