Week 88 - Saving nature

Morning all,

I know you have all come across things that weren't really designed as crafting items and thought "hmm, maybe I can use that for something, I'll save it for later". Well, now is the time to dig that stuff out and join this week's recycling challenge.

And... we are thrilled to have Letraset as a new regular sponsor.

Letraset are offering a set of the fabulous new Aquamarkers. AquaMarkers are a dual tipped water based, pigmented ink marker with the advantage of being water soluble. They can be easily blended, even when dried, giving the effects of water-colour paint but with the convenience of a marker. The water colour quality of the markers makes an ideal accompaniment to an artist's tool box, providing a clean and convenient alternative to water colour paints.

The DT have all used Aquamarkers on their work this week to demonstrate the fabulous colours and blending versatility of the pens.

So, dig through your drawers and see what you find and don't forget to write WHAT you recycled =).

It's the final week that Polkadoodles are joining us at our Guest Deisnger and this week Miria has created a lovely card using scraps of Polkadoodle papers, a clothes label and some recycled buttons.

HeleneI started with a paper bag I got when I bought some ribbon, and turned it into a frame and while I was on a roll I cut out some flowers too. The white doily I found under the glass in a hotel bathroom =).
