Recycle, recycle, recycle - Challenge #7

You are all aware of recycling. It's in the news all the time at the minute. It's something I do all the time in my everyday life, even when I'm scrapping. On my desk there are two bins: one for recycling and one for general rubbish - but not everything goes in!!

There are some pieces that I keep. These tend to be the hard plastic packaging that embellishments come in, the little bottle that come packed with flowers - any cute packaging really! I then alter them for presents or home decoration.

After using the very gorgeous Heidi Swapp embellies that came as part of the October 06 Personal Shopper Kit, I was left with the packaging and I created this! I made it for my friend who has her own scrapbooking room. She has lots of kids so this is perfect as the children's dirty little fingers ( because lets face it no child has clean hands ever!!!!!) cannot get all over it. So my challenge to you is go through your scrap stuff and pull out the packaging and see what you come up with!! have fun.

Don't forget to e-mail your entry as there's going to be a little prize at the end of the month for the overall best entry from challenges #6 - #10. The Guv (with a little bit of help from the Magnicent Seven) will be choosing the one entry that they liked the most from all the non-DT submissions! And when you've e-mailed, don't forget to post a comment so everyone can go take a lookie!

Sneeky peek??

Hi ya all, do you all fancy a sneaky peek??

Okay, over the next few weeks you are going to see some amazing projects that these dt girls have come up with and i mean amazing. But as its Friday!!!!! i'l cheat and give you a peek of what is to come.

The following project was made using the personal shopper October 2006
Now this kit is huge and when i say huge it has everything you need to do soooooooo many projects it will keep you going for weeks. It has the most beautiful blue papers with gorgeous flowers on with co-ordinating tags and embellishments. It also has everything you could ever need for your autumn layouts and Halloween.

For my first project i decided to make a pillow box for a present for my mother in law.



The colours of this particular set are just beautiful. The original paper that comes in the pack doesn't have the flowers outlined, but for this project i decided that i wanted the flowers to standout a bit so i outlined them with a black pen. Its as easy as that.
I have a little book to go inside it but for that you will have to check back another time!!!

Keep your eyes peeled becuase you are in for some really good eye candy, and don't forget that we have another challenge for you on Saturday . It goes up at 6pm so be here to see it. I was going to tell you who is posting it but im going to leave that as a surpise!!!

See you soon

Well i guess its mine turn!!!

Well i guess its my turn to chat!

My name is Wendy and i live in Suffolk with my husband Russell and my gorgeous son Harry.
I have been scrapbooking for nearly 3 and a half years since Harry was born and my first album was his first year. Since then scrapbooking has become my biggest passion.
Most of the time i can be found sitting at my scrapbooking table in the conservatory with Harry playing in the garden.

I do dabble in cardmaking and altered art but one of my other passions is making mini albums!

Do you want to see one of the pages that i sent in for the DT call??? Well im going to show you anyway hee hee!!!

I think this is one of my all time favorite pages and i love sharing it with people.

I am really looking forward to working with all the other girls on this design team and chatting with you all.
