Stampin' Dreams February Blog Hop - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 

Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I am hopping with the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop and the theme is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. I love to upcycle and reuse rather than throw away, this is why I love junk journals so much. I have a row of large bags as you enter my craft room and they are all labelled so organising my 'junk' is easy and they are handy for when I want to craft with them. One such bag is cardboard. I save lots of packaging, one such thing is the card from Stampin'  Dimensionals. I have been wanting to do something with these for ages. I am so glad this theme came up as it prompted me to do it. I made a scrappy note pad with lots of my scraps of vintage book pages, this will be very handy when I am making clusters or collaging and it looks nice as well.  I also made a notebook as I am always needing small scraps of paper to make to do lists. I made the pages of the notepad out of junk mail so it is a proper reduce, reuse and recycle project. 

Measurements and Materials

• Notebook base made from Stampin' Dimensional packaging 
• Score 1/4 from the crease to make a gusset
• I covered the outside with Dandy Designs DSP
• I used Alphabet A La Mode to add the 'NOTES' & "SCRAPS" 
• I framed the word with the border die from Blossoming Happiness
• The Scraps book is vintage scraps for making cluster and collage when I am making my junk journals
• The notebook is made from junk mail and envelopes
• I just ruler ripped the right size and glue them in place
