Planning Green Christmas blog hop

We are planning an exciting day of blog hopping, tutorials and prizes on December 5th, starting at 12 noon EST.

Please join the Yahoo Group Create It Green if you have a blog and would like to participate.

We do not sell any products just enjoy trying to help save the planet by recycling, re-purposing and re-using products in our crafts. Many of these projects have things that can be found in your own home so they do not require expensive products.

DT call extended for LO and CARD team members

I'm looking for 6 members to be on a design team (3 card and 3 layout). I will be posting a monthly card and layout sketch and would like to have some inspiring GREEN projects to post with the sketches.

If you'd like to apply...
~create a GREEN layout or card using one of these sketches and email to me and tell me the GREEN material/s you used in your creation. If you are applying for the altered project, simply make a new project for the call and let me know what GREEN item/s you used.

LAYOUT SKETCH
CARD SKETCH
~send me your blog address

~If you'd like to post your creations on your blog, please feel free to do so.But please let them know our blog address where you found the sketch or let them know you created the project for the DT call. Thanks!! :O)
~Send your creation and blog address to me at deanneburton@gmail.com.

I'm sorry but I can't compensate you with any kits or supplies as I'm not a store.

I'm sure you'll have fun coming up with all kinds of GREEN ideas to incorporate into your cards, layouts and altered projects!

I'll keep this open until DEC 15th and will announce the new DT on DEC 18th.

Can't wait to see what you do for the call!

Oh, and if you'd like to use these sketches without applying for the design team, go right ahead! Leave us a link to your creation so we can go check it out!!! Remember to use something GREEN (that is, a recycled,repurposed or reused item!) on your creation

Altered Art Team members are...

JEAN MARIE PENNINGTON
ALI MacDONALD
SAMMYE JO SINGER
JAN HENNINGS

Thanks to these ladies for saying YES!!!!

I have decided to extend the LO and CARD sketch team call as I didn't get enough to even choose a team :o(  
...so that call will continue until the 15th of DEC. I'll post the details again later. I've been super-duper busy this weekend with report cards and tonight I'm teaching a Christmas card class and am heading out the door in a few minutes.

Found this great idea!!

Altered CD Gift Card Envelope


After seeing Deanne's CD ornaments, I remembered that I decorated a CD envelope for a friends birthday. I had burned a disk and used an old CD mailer to create the protective shell. It's a great project to use up scraps and I good way to show off my own CyndiLou "Clipart"! I just glued everything together with Royal Coat and then added freehand doodles. Look for the "Cupcake Girl" CyndiLou Clipart in my photo album in the Creat it Green Yahoo Group area.
