Reduce, Reuse & Recycle Scrap Challenge

In conjunction with National Scrapbooking Month celebration, Made with Love, Singapore held a "Reduce, Reuse & Recycle" Scrap challenge. The main idea was to incorporate the "green" idea into scrapbooking.


Well, shown here are my takes on the challenge.


The Mail Pocket




The Mail Pocket, which can be used to hold mails, was made using the cardboard found in one of the album (Making Memories) packaging. The cardboard was to hold the album in a sturdy manner. I removed part of the cardboard and folded it into the shape as seen in the picture. The lace used was from Crabtree and Evelyn packaging. Besides the mentioned, all materials used were scrapbooking materials left over from previous projects.


(PP and stickers- 7 Gypsies; Chipboard Flowers - AMM; Paint - Making Memories; Glossy Accents. Ribbon and string from other pakaging.)


Besides the mail pocket, I also did an accordin album, featuring my favourite rock band at the moment. The album was made from the AMM chipboard, which was used to hold all the alphas and shapes. The alpha, numbers and shapes were removed. Very minimal materials were used to make this album. All materials, with the exception of the cardstock, were all left overs from previous projects. The chipboards were all partially paper-sanded prior to being painted.

Here's the recycled product used prior to "make over"

After "make-over" ... ...

(Stickers - 7 Gypsies, Sassafras, Big Honkin' Stickers by Vicki Harvey for Mustard Moon, one more brand which I cannot remember; Chipboard Alphs, numbers - AMM; Paint and Foam stamps- Making Memories. All materials listed here were left overs from other projects. Only cardstocks were brand new. Plaid Mod Podge (Matt) was used.)

Well, it does not matter if I win the challenge. I am just happy that the works can be put on display and be marvelled by fellow scrappers. I know, I'm very thick skin. But I am. And I am shallow.

TFL!
