recycle, repurpose, reuse.

Hi there, how is everyone? Well, i hope :0).

We are still away at the beach, but i have come for a quick trip home to check on things and posting this at the same time, (while i do a few loads of washing!!)

My last layout for Michelles challenge is again using some recycled red onion bag, some felt, inspired by Michelles layout with the felt tulips and some bread bag tags.

Stazon ink will stamp on just about anything and these bag tag ties were no exception. The stamp is from the Heidi Grace Reagans Closet clear stamp set. Using the clear block means you see exactly where you are stamping. With stazon ink, always have some nail polish remover and a cotton bud nearby, if you are stamping on plastic or acetate surfaces and make a mistake, you can successfully erase with nail polish remover.

I used my shape cutter template to trace a circle shape onto white and red felt and then cut with scissors, all sewed together with thread and a button to top it off, to make a little tree/shrub/flower looking thing!!

I have used the "love" stamp from the Fiskars clear stamp set "wishes all around" and cut around it with the new scallop circle squeeze punch. For the title I have used fiskars clear alpha stamps, stamped in black and then outlined in red.

The embellishments have been cut from paper from the Cheeful Bee range very cute and very versatile range!!

So thats it from me, don't forget to get your entries in for this months challenge, you have till midnight tonight. I have briefly looked at some of the creations, but with limited internet access at the beach its a bit tricky, so i am looking forward to having a good look when i get home.

THANKS to Michelle for a GREAT challenge, i have had a ball ;0) Looking forward to what Debbie B will bring us for the October challenge.

Enjoy your week.

My little man is also loving strawberries right now. I love how the red stands out on your layout.

Thanks for the fun month. It's certainly changed my cardmaking outlook. I'm trying to reuse EVERYTHING now!
