Saving the planet because of chocolate....sounds like a great reason. I love all your lo's. One of these days I am gonna start scrapping because of your blog. take care and have a great day.
Save the Planet, or the never ending packet of tim tams will be gone forever!! And we dont want that now do we?? I have used many recycled things on LO's but the one that stnads out from the rest, is my Melbourne Zoo LO using my empty Kleenex Tissue Box. It had a lovely zoo theme in which i cut out and used to frame phots etc. Talk soon Sharynne
I love the paper, it's gorgeous. I try to reuse acrylic, cardboard, foam, envelopes and anything that I can get off of a gift tag. :o) I think that recycling is a major necessity b/c our planet is being so littered with trash and our air quality keeps getting worse. Anyhoo, thanks for the chance to get this wonderful paper.
Hi Kathie,
Wow what cute paper. When you said recycled I did not expect it to be so 'modern'. My favourite items to recycle are buttons and ribbons and sometimes pockets off old clothes. I do apologise if the op-shop occasionally gets stuff with no buttons!!!!!!
:):):):):)
It' the thought that counts....

Not only do I use recycle items....but everything that does go into my "trash" bin from scrapping goes into the recycle bin for the garbage men to pick up! I once did a LO for OLW...and the word that week was "THINK".....and I did the entire LO made about "THINKING" about the EARTH and what we all can do to help...and the entire LO was made from "trash"...I used cardboard from a package, and OLD dried out pen, a piece from my old chair that fell off....a lining from an old ball from DD....U name it....if it was TRASH...I used it....LOL LOL LOL....U can see it here: http://www.scrapinstyletv.com/portfolio/view_layout.php?layout_id=98887&user_id=7807 ...it didn't win OLW that time...and its not the prettiest LO I have ever made....but I'm PRETTY PROUD of my "trash" LO!!! LOL LOL LOL!! :):):):):):):):):):)
Oh Julie, I had to go and check it out!!! Great job.... You are very clever, I doubt that to many of us would have thought of doing something like that!!! Great stories girls, I love reading all your comments, they are fantastic!!

mmm chocolate yumm. i love recycled paper in my layouts cos they give the lo a great look and its good for the planet.
Love Elisha
What beautiful paper Kathie!! And recycled too! Even better! Anything to save this wonderful planet we call Earth! I have used lots of recycled things on my layouts - cardboard, ribbon, buttons, paperclips, flowers. Always makes me feel good when I recycle stuff for scrapping - like I'm doing my bit for the environment :)
Hi Kathie, My most recent recycle effort is the foam packaging around the Gin bottle from my last trip to NZ. I have tried the foil from Milo tins and painted bottle tops wacked with the hammer, tags from the shops. Might like to say that they haven't turned out as well as Julie's beautiful work but I am always willing to try new things. Of course I depend on all my scrapping friends for support and inspiration.
Hi Kathie, I feel lousy to admit that I haven't really used any recyled products in my layouts to date. However I have kept every single piece of scrap paper, ribbon etc since I started, which may one day may lead to a recycled creation. The other comments have inspired me to think outside the box. Think we may need some kind of recycled challenge!
Luv Kate
Now there is an idea indeed Kate!! But you have recycled, you have used buttons haven't you??

Let's try this again shall we?!!!!
I thought I was just being a bit "tight" when it came to scrapbooking items. I have bought zippers from the op shop, keep all my cut off's to use on different layouts and I keep the leather tag of new shoes, I used 1 as a name tag on a dog layout. And the plastic thingys that tie the item into the box to keep it secure, they work well too. Love my ribbons, ricrac and buttons. I have kept some of the new flooring for our bathroom and some of the old wallpaper to scrap "diary of a bathroom reno", when I can get to it of course. I learnt something new today, it's called recycling. Oh and the papers are nice and interesting too.
