The Pink Elephant challenge #11

We are asking you this week to Recycle or Re-use something! .............also there may be an option this week, but pop over to TPE to check that out!

My brain has not worked well this past week and the best i could think of was to use some more cardboard from an empty copy paper box again!!........... i know, i bet you are thinking........not again!! but this time i have made a mini book........it's not quite finished though, i will probably add some photo's to the alternating pages........................i will try and remember to show it again once completed :)
The flowers are from an Anna Griffin decoupage set that i bought an absoloute age ago! and although they aren't recycled i did think it was about time they were used for something :) they are very pretty, but i don't 'do' decoupage so this was a good way to use them up!
These are pictures of the inner pages............a work in progress......
The additional items i used were some Prima 'Say it in Crystals' Ranger paint dabber 'Ice cap' and some fibres and trim from my stash. I hope i have inspired you to use up some of that old cardboard!! but be sure to pop over to TPE to see the fab creations from the other girls on the DT...................i'm really looking forward to seeing all the entries this week, so go have a rummage and see what you can create! ;-D

  3. Those boxes make the most beautiful things when you get your hands on them Carol. This is just beautiful and will be even better when finished completely.

  4. This is beautiful Carol! I was going to use some corrugated cardboard (and of course think of you as I did so!!), but I couldn't get what I had to peel as nicely as yours so I got angry and tossed it. lol!!!
