For the next challenge I would like to see layouts that reduce, reuse, recycle!!
I have seen several articles in American scrap magazines with this in mind recently and felt inspired!!
Use something on your layout that is part of the packaging for a scrap supply that you would normally throw in the rubbish bin.
If you think of it take a photo of the item before you use it on your layout and send me a picture of the item and your layout.
Here is my example, albeit a small contribution ;-)
When you buy a paper pack you get a "cover sheet" with an example of each of the papers inside.
Instead of cutting up a 12 x 12 piece of paper for the leaves on my layout I cut them from the green sample of the Cosmo Cricket paper.
Another example of packaging that could be used on a layout ... the backing card in the packet of Making Memories mini alphas, as below.
So scrap and feel good about the environment!!

Something to get the brain matter working!... and mine needs a work out.. bit brain-dead lately!
Off to go and have a look.
when I first started sb I used to use lots of packaging etc from supplies, but now theres just so much variety , that I dont tend to now, as have so much other stuff to use.I do stash stuff some though so will have to have a sort out maybe and see what I have .
good challenge meredith,

Okay. this is harder than I thought lol.
I have a very boring stash.
and since I tend to throw the packaging away, an even more boring packaging stash.
Oh I am so loving this challenge Meredith lol.
