The challenge is...

ANYTHING GOES as long as it has a "green" item (recycled item) on it!

Layout Team creations  
Alexa Gill

I used the inside of some envelopes for my page, you know the ones you get your bank statement and junk main in? Well some of them have really nice patterns on the inside! I cut some circles in my cardstock and then glued parts of the envelopes to the back of my page to show through the holes.  

Joan Liddle

I used an old piece of cardboard, some string, 2 old tickets and a small pc. of a library date slip.  

Faye Perata

The brown and white felt is recycled from a felt purse my friend made me a couple years back.  She is not a "crafty" person by nature so I hated to part with it but I rarely used it.  While I was putting it in the get rid of pile, I realized I could reuse the felt myself.  Add some buttons and thread and presto, I give you felt flowers.

How many of you have missing pieces to a puzzle? In my case, we got puzzles in a kids meal, so I swiped the pieces (since they probably would have ended up in the garbage!) and painted them for my layout. Looking around the house for unwanted or unused items for your scrapbooks is a great way to go green, and add fun details to your pages! One fun thing to note - Before the paint was dry I shot it with my heat gun. The heat caused the white to do a cool crackle look, and the black to bubble, which was a really cool look too!
