Hi - Karen here with my page for this month's challenge, which is to use recycled elements on your project. I think I have taken this to the extreme!
On this page I have used a piece of a white pizza box cut to 12 x 12 for my background, tearing some areas to reveal the brown corrugated card beneath. I have also used tissue that Christmas presents and craft orders were wrapped in to make tissue paper flowers (details on my process video). White card from the packaging of a new pair of shoes, cut into leaves with my BigShot and dies. I made a shaker out of a tag, some clear packaging from a packet of enamal stars. I filled my shaker with the 'circle waste' from a hole punch and some beads and finally my journaling card is the packaging from some flair.
I did make sure that my photo was mounted onto a piece of patterned paper so that the recycled elements didn't touch it as I knew they weren't photo friendly and used some stickers, made for scrapbooking, on the areas that my corner cluster overlapped my photo.
I stand by my claim that this is the ultimate recycled project as the only stash I have used is a 6.5 x 4.5 scrap of patterned paper and a few stickers!
If you would like to see exactly how I made the flowers, and shaker element pop over to our YouTube channel and have a look at my process video.
