Resubmitting for the recycling challenge. :)

I made this for some friends as they hosted a super party on Saturday night.

I created a reverse window like effect using some sticky tape packaging. I love recycling :)

Love the tissue flower by Tami so I decide to give it a try. (Her is so delicate but my looks smashed.) The mini bag idea is from PTI news letter but I can't find it anymore. (I made up a sample a while back when I got the news letter.) This is how I make it.

1. Sseal the envelope, turn it vertical, cut a bit off the top, (this is the opening top) 2. Score 1/2" around the other 3 sides of the envelope, (use bone folder to CREASE all 3 score lines really good)

3. Fold the two outer edge inward to create the side of the bag.

4. Manipulate the bottom into small triangles, glue them to the bottom of the bag (hope you understand what I mean)

5. Finish size 3-3/8"x1"x5-1/8". The Screen shadow or Houndstooth stamp or 2 distress ink pads can fit inside

Stourhead is a 1,072-hectare (2,650-acre) estate at the source of the River Stour near Mere, Wiltshire, England. The estate includes a Palladian mansion, the village of Stourton, gardens, farmland, and woodland. Stourhead is part owned by the National Trust since 1946.

The Stourton family had lived at the Stourhead estate for 500 years until they sold it to Sir Thomas Meres in 1714. His son, John Meres, sold it in 1717 to Henry Hoare, son of wealthy banker Sir Richard Hoare. The original manor house was demolished and a new house, one of the first of its kind, was designed by Colen Campbell and built by Nathaniel Ireson between 1721 and 1725.

Over the next 200 years, the Hoare family collected many heirlooms, including a large library and art collection. In 1902, the house was gutted by fire but many of the heirlooms were saved, and the house was rebuilt in a nearly identical style.

The last Hoare family member to own the property, Sir Henry Hugh Arthur Hoare, gave the house and gardens to the National Trust in 1946, one year before his death. His son and sole heir, Captain Henry Colt Arthur "Harry" Hoare, of the Queen's Own Dorset Yeomanry, had died of wounds received at the Battle of Mughar Ridge on 13 November 1917 during World War I. The last Hoare family member to be born at the house was Edward Hoare on 11 October 1949.

I love saving the packaging materials for the products I buy. The base for this card is from a new stamp set I bought, I used the clear packaging around it to make a one of a kind card. There are so many wonderful things you can create with clear packaging with a few stamps and some stazon ink. I created the border around this card by shaping the scalloped border stamps by Hero Arts and stamping it with Stazon. Love the turn out. Also, all the paper used is all scraps, I never throw scraps away and always use them for cards.

I made this mini to record our summer outdoor "finds". My plan is to take pictures of all the nature-y things that the boys and I find as we are outside. We have tons of lizards, frogs, birds, and other animals in our area and the boys and I love checking them out. I plan to include pictures and write in the information about the discovery. Kind of a little science discovery notebook with pics.

I used a 12 x 12 sheet of cardboard cut into 4 x 6 rectangles. I used the HA raindrop stamp, the HA shadow screen stamp on the tree and the HA Explore and Discover stamp. I also used the HA Three Ferns stamp on the interior. There are ten pages and tags in the album and a front and back cover.

All the cardstock and pp came from my scrap pile. The pp on the tree is Flair and the other green pp is Daisy D's. The chipboard tree is Maya Road. The metal "tree swing" is from Making Memories oldddd metal line and the fuzzy date sticker is Prima.Ink is Tim Holtz Walnut Ink and Peeled Paint. TFL

The flower is stamped on a piece of flannel that used to line our windows when Emma slept in our bedroom as an infant. Now I have lots of flannel leftover!

*****************************

I wanted to play around with some more fabric stamping. I stamped the Four Leaf Grid on a strip of flannel with Worn Lipstick distress ink on one side, Fired Brick on the other. Then I folded it into a flower. The Three Ferns stamp is white embossed and I handwrote the sentiment. It's hard to see the brown base of the card, but the dark green cardstock is popped up against it. A closeup of the flower is available on my photostream. Thanks for looking!

The little sentiments were in my sentiment stash box....probably lifted from a card I received....a shop bought one...I hasten to add.

I love this weeks challenge! And naturally I had to make a green card :-)

The recycling on this card is from:

1. a tomato box (organic) see pic here: www.flickr.com/photos/31406339@N04/3549652562/

This material I used to make the layered flower (made from cuttlebug dies - stamped with dots and distressed with ranger peeled paint).

2. recycled tissue paper on which I stamped the heartwinged butterfly with white memories dye ink. I layered 3 stamped butterflies to create some dimension.

3. corrugated paper which I always recycle to used for wrapping and such...

4. A vintage page from and old book. Stamped with dots and three ferns and distressed with peeled paint.

Green living covers many different aspects whatever the green lifestyle. Green living can indicate a private green area both at home and within the workplace. It may also correlate green travel, ecological travel destinations, herbal and natural medication choices, recycling, urban gardening about to come out soon or it could possibly pertain to all of these things to be the whole.

I was looking through some stuff in a drawer when I noticed the "Apple" stickers, which I must have saved when I bought my Ipod. I do like the shape of that logo :-) So here is a recycled apple card :-)

I stamped the sticker with the raindrop background and white embossed it - then distressed with Rangers "peeled paint". I mounted the sticker on some green cs and cut out. The rest of the cardstock are scraps. The white paper is actually some lovely quality business stationary - originated from Sanne's work (it was just something which they wanted to throw away because it was too heavy) - so thanks to Sanne I have a little stash of this paper to put to good use.

HA stamps used: Raindrop background S5101, Mix & Match CL266.

Other Supplies: cs, apple sticker, twine, white & clear embossing powder, ranger peeled paint, colorbox olive pastel ink, shadow ink soft sand, popdots.

Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes.

Or taking a ride on a cosmic train.

Switch on summer from a slot machine.

Yes, get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anything.

I know we've come a long way,

We're changing day to day,

But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass.

For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas.

And you make them long, and you make them tough.

But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off.

Oh, I know we've come a long way,

We're changing day to day,

But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air.

But will you keep on building higher

'til there's no more room up there?

Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?

Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

I know we've come a long way,

We're changing day to day,

But tell me, where do the children play?
