What's going on out there? Since this week is Earth Week, I thought I'd make an eco-friendly card. I used recycled paper and reused a recylced tag. The tag was originally wrapped around a hand towel I picked up at West Elm a couple weeks ago. The towels are made from organic cotton and they marketed it with recylced papers and fibers. I liked the tags so much that I saved them! I have one more! I covered the West Elm logo with the sentiment and lightly stamped over the 'green' label with a sentiment. I left the tree that was already centered on the tag.
Since we use so much paper in our craft, try to reuse some materials this week or see if you can find some recycled paper or anything green! I know a really good way to use embellishments we already have and that's those extra buttons that come with our clothes we buy. I save all of mine in a jewelry box and then use them as needed. It's just my own way I think I contribute to conserving and saving instead of throwing them out.
GO GREEN! Thanks for stopping by and have a great Tuesday. I'll be back tomorrow with my video. I recorded it last night! I hope you like the card I made.
