Paper Players Challenge #41 ~ Recycling Theme


Hooray!!  It is Sunday!!!  Today we have a brand new Theme Challenge at the Paper Players!  LeAnne is our hostess this week and she is challenging us to Recycle!  Yikes!  I really had to put my thinking cap on for this challenge. 

I looked all over my house for something to recycle or repurpose...and then I found it...an old notebook in a bin downstairs in my craft room. The outside of it was all beat up but the paper inside was still good. 


I quickly decided to use the "Sweet Stitches" designer paper from the Occasions Mini.  I've had this paper for weeks now and have never used it!!  Well I picked out this pretty, feminine paper from the pack and went to work!  I also played with a new stamp set called "Four Frames".  This set is not in any book yet!  It is a promotion for this month!!!  I will be chatting more about the promotion in coming posts!  I inked up the new stamp in Rose Red and stamped it on Vanilla Paper.  Then I punched out the image with the "Decorative Label Punch" which goes with this new stamp set!!  I also added a Iittle flower and a glimmer brad, to make it extra special because I decided I will use it for a sketch book...that is why I called it "Happiness". I love sketching card ideas!!!

 

I wish you could see the book in real life...the photo does not do it justice, I just could not get a good shot of it today!  I hope you like my project and join us this week at the Paper Players.  The design team has come up with some amazing projects!  I also hope you get a chance to check them out by visiting the Paper Players Challenge Blog and of course, you can check out the project of our April Guest Designer Jen from I Create.  
 

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know!  I would love to hear from you!  Enjoy your Sunday!  You know, I really think this would be a darling project for my class to do.  We could make little books for Mother's Day!  I am so happy we are doing this Recycling Challenge, it was fun to make something different!!
