4/13 Mother Earth: Reduce, reuse, repurpose -- Safe at Home
Posted: Mon Apr 13, 2020 12:54 pm
Join us all month long in April as we celebrate Mother Earth herself . . . Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Challenges will be based on reusing, reducing and recycling - whether it be in your personal life or with your scrapbooking supplies, focusing on finding new ways to use and repurpose items in our stash.......the possibilities are limitless...
Like many other scrapbookers, after more than two months of self-quarantines, closed stores and fears of catching the coronavirus, I'm running low on more than a few supplies -- especially chipboard stick-on letters, Scotch ATG Gold tape, and patience. I had a few older layouts that I did not love, so I pulled off the chip letters and recycled them to my new layout, glueing them down with good old elmer's Craft Bond glue. I also cut apart a couple of small embellishments ot use on my layout.
Here's a peek into granddaughter Isla's day as she helps Mommy and daddy while they work at home:
(The original sketch won't load here, but you can go to the link farther down and it will take you to a copy of the sketch)
For this challenge, if you find yourself short on some supplies or embellishments, dig into your stash and find some alphas, embellishments, glitter, whatever fits your style, and add it to a new layout about how you're getting through the quarantine. (Digging through my older stash actually was kind of fun)
You will have until May 3 to complete this month's challenges. A winner will be chosen by random drawing and will win a $10 gift certificate from the online store of your choice. (If we get more than 50 entries, the prize will be a $20 certificate).
Happy scrapping! We're looking forward to seeing what you will create!
