Our first project was a beautiful nature themed card. I got my inspiration for this card from Michelle Zindorf's blog. She uses stamps to create beautiful works of art.
Card Recipe (All Stampin' Up!)
Stamps: Friends 24-7
Inks: Pale Plum, Certainly Celery, Perfect Plum
Papers: Perfect Plum, Certainly Celery, Watercolor Paper
Accessories: Stampin' Sponges, Aqua Painters, Paper Piercing Tool, Mat Pack, 1/16" Circle Punch, Soft Subtles Brads
Our second project was an awesome wall hanging that will be finding a permanent place in my house because it inspires me to LIVE WITH PASSION. I was thinking my bathroom mirror would be good but the paper may not fare so well in the humidity of the bathroom so I think the refrigerator will have to do.
For this project the backing is a 4x6 piece of cardboard. These perfectly sized pieces of cardboard were found in my packs of 4x6 photo paper for my printer. I'd been keeping them for awhile and then on a cleaning kick I tossed them in the recycle bin thinking that if I'd held on to them for a year or more without using them that I probably wouldn't. The next day I was trying to come up with ideas for my earth day class and ended up digging them out of the recycle bin. :) They are perfect for this project!
This project also has a secondary attribute with regard to Earth Day - I repurposed Christmas designer paper! I believe that using what we have makes us more creative and finding new ways to use products keeps us from wasting them.
