One more little thing to keep in mind. Please be mindful of copyright etiquette. Replications of any part of Relics & Artifacts® line or packaging are not only unallowable, it's also extremely uncool. Please be careful to observe and adhere to copyright standards and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask any of the Ambassadors or Relics & Artifacts® Powers That Be.
Good luck and don't forget that hashtag, #RAExplorethePossibilities, when uploading your project!
