Let's Recycle on Earth Day

Hello Friends,

Welcome back and thanks for stopping by!  Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. It's no mystery that I like to ask people to join challenges, so I hope you will join us this week!

This Week's Challenge...

Earth Day ~ Recycle

Here is my Design Team project...

I decided to use my Tim Holtz distress inks and have a little fun making the backgrounds. I used Faded Jeans, Salty Ocean, Chipped Saphirre, and Mowed Lawn.

I cut the heart shaped earth on my Cameo and the file is from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons ~ Peace, Love, Recycle.

This sentiment is from my new Lawn Fawn stamp set ~ Scripty Sayings. A couple skittles by DoubleClick on the end of each one.

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Earth Day/Recycle" challenge. The other design team members  care for our planet. Be sure to check out the variety!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Really great card...
We recycle most everything. We can not recycle glass. I also do not throw scraps of paper and ribbon away for the most part. I try to use every last bit.

Green is Good Blog Hop ~ Let's Celebrate Earth Day!

 Something recycled...something repurposed. Perhaps a milk jug turned into a scoop...or a tin can made into a pencil holder. Maybe your kids planted some trees to help the environment...or maybe you did. There are tons of ways to get greener in everyday life. Today we are showing off our creations to celebrate Earth Day 2013.

 
Factoid...Earth Day is observed on April 22 and was started in the United States in 1970 by Senator Gaylord Nelson to create awareness for the Earth's environment and to encourage conservation efforts. In 1990, Earth Day was taken international, and today, more than 500 million people in 175 countries observe Earth Day.

If you’re just starting here make sure to head over to the beginning with Jessi at My Life in Arts’ n Crafts’. I hear she’s giving away some goodies too!

Here is my Earth Day project...

Love the Earth

 I chose this Earth cut since it represents our cause. We need to take care of where we live and how we treat our planet, so it will be a safe and clean place for future generations.  

The Earth sits on an action wobble and moves (maybe even rotates a little...just doesn't revolve).

Materials:

papers from scrap box (see below)

Give a Hoot Cricut cartridge ~ Heart Earth (p. 39) 3 1/4" and sentiment 1"

red heart buttons

willow green organdy ribbon

Glossy Accents

action wobble

Challenge:
2 Sisters ~ Blue or Green
 

Earth Day Goal...Use these scraps

Another Factoid...FORTY MILLION TONS of paper is discarded each year in the United States. That's a little less than half of the overall paper used in the country each year - the U.S. uses about 85 million tons of paper and paperboard, and recycles about 45 million tons of that. By most standards that is an excellent recycling rate, but it's almost disheartening to know that "only" wasting forty million tons of paper is a good thing.

Blog Candy...

One lucky person will be randomly selected to win a surprise goodie pack. Leave a comment stating whether or not you recycle and what items if you do. Me...I do recycle! Paper, junk mail, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, glass, and plastic bags. The winner will be announced later this week.

One World

Good Afternoon Crafty Friends,

Since today is Earth Day, I wanted to make a card to help celebrate. I try to due my part by recycling plastic, paper, aluminum, and glass. We have reduced our water consumption by turning off the sprinklers and we donate our clothes, so they can be reused. I am sure there is much more that we can do to conserve our natural resources, but it is a good start.

Here is today's project...

Materials:

Give a Hoot cartridge ~ raccoon ( p. 29) and sentiment (p.73)

K&Company paper ~ Edamame paper stack

white, blue, green, black, and brown cardstock

Tim Holtz embossing folder ~ wood grain

brown ink

green pearls

This cartridge is perfect for Earth Day and the upcoming Arbor Day. I highly recommend adding it to your wish list.

What is your favorite image?

Challenges:

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Stay Creative,
