Green X3!!!

Check out my entry for the Crafter's Companion USA March "Going Green" Challenge:


This is green times 3! 
1. It's recycled. I make my own magazine holders out of empty cereal boxes.
I use them to store my stamps also :) 

2. This magazine holder is also covered with some brown paper that I saved from the packaging on one of my online orders. 

3. And of course, the greenery of the "Ivy" stamp from CC. 

It's a paint fusion stamp. I stamped it in brown and painted it with acrylic paints. 
I only did one side of it because I want to practice more before I do the rest of it. 
The paint fusion stamps are pretty neat because they come with a reusable practice sheet. 
I used some gold highlights just for fun :) 

In order to stamp and paint on the holder, I filled it up with magazines 
and a hardcover book.
I really enjoyed this challenge because I think it's important to reuse & recycle...
and I was looking forward to reusing and making an altered project ;) 

Thanks for looking! Remember to enter my giveaway!

    Awesome project Karla! I love that it is green times 3! Those Sheena Douglas paint fusion stamps are just so versatile and perfect for the Going Green challenge at Crafter's Companion. I love the bits of gold you used to add some sparkle. Thanks for joining in the challenge this month. Hugs, Stacy

    Love it, love, love it! Great use of a cereal box, I'm going to have to lift that idea for a box to keep hubby's hunting and gun mags organized. They can get a little out of control! Thanks for playing along at the Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog, and congrats on being the Friday Fave!

I'm so excited about this blog hop! I've loved Faber-Castel products for a long time and it was so much fun to combine them with my favorite DCWV textures. There’s some great prizes too- Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and DCWV will be giving away $75 in product at the end of the hop.  To win, follow the list below and leave a comment .  The hop will end at 5PM EST on Friday, March 28 th .  The winner will be announced on Monday, March 31 st on each of the company’s blogs.    I really wanted a special page for these pictures. They give me a very HAPPY feeling  and I love the sun rays coming through the trees. I wanted to mimic that in the background paper. I thought the woven craft cardstock was a great background because its a little less stark than white for these pictures.   I wanted the journaling to be more private so I made it a pull tab behind this cut out tag from the Bohemian Sunrise stack.    ...

Welcome to Day 2 of the DCWV and Clear Scraps blog hop! You should have come from Britt's blog: http://pinkpapercrowns.blogspot.com Thanks for making it this far!  On to the project... I might have a LO or 2 about Christmas....Why? I just never get around to making more of them! The Holidays are usually too crazy and then I get into doing LOs of just ever day stuff or travel pics... and the holidays just get forgotten.  This year, I'm ready! I'll have the album pre-made, I just have to stick on the pictures and add some journaling! I used this 8x8 tabbed acrylic album from Clearscraps to create a Christmas mini that is ready to go.  The papers are Christmas Memories with a little bit of the Christmas and winter Diecut stack, the Christmas basics 6x6 & the Burlap stack. I love clear albums because I like to see the layers through the clear pages.    I folded the 12x12 papers in half and cut them to create pockets for ...
