Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

Do you ever take note of all the things that we all tend to throw away?  How about noticing how great the packaging is that our scrapbooking treasures arrive in?  If so, this is a post for you!  The design team has some great ideas about what to do with the things that normally end up in the garbage pail.

Meg and Me

Dryer Sheets have never looked so good! Gabrielle used dryer sheets to make the beautiful flowers on her page. 

Recycle tip: Don't throw away those pesky dryer sheets after they are done doing their job in the dryer. I created these sheer lollipop blooms by cutting out different sized circles and spritzing them with a little Glimmer Mist. Once dried I simply rimmed them with some glitter glue and popped some Bo Bunny Gems and Trinkets in the center.

Timepiece 6x6 paper pad (diamond patterned paper), Timepiece Noteworthy paper & Transparency, Timepiece Trinkets, Timepiece Clear Stamps, Timepiece Combo Stickers (title), Timepiece Jewels, Timepiece Wraps, Bo Bunny Buttons & Bling.
