EcoScrapbook's Earth Day Blog Hop

 
Happy Earth Day! It makes me happy to have you here and thinking about the earth. I've gathered together some of my favorite scrapbookers for this blog hop and we're all excited that you're joining us today.

Let's kick off this Earth Day Blog Hop with a project I made as I was in the process of planning my kitchen renovations. 

Upcycled Travel Notebook

I'll be using this travel notebook during a mini-vacation I'm taking with my daughters and mother-in-law. We're not sure where we're going yet, but I know this will come in handy when it's time to scrapbook our vacation memories.

The cover of the notebook are floor samples I found at a home improvement store. This is what the back of the notebook looks like:



I used a little vintage compass given to me by my husband's grandmother (my MIL's mom).


The inside pages are old maps, cut to fit the floor samples.


To embellish the travel notebook, I also used these other supplies: handmade paper, Smash Pad notecard, Offray ribbon, Jillibean Soup canvas flower, DCWV cardstock, bird diecut, ink, marker, Stickles, Glue Dots©, Pink Paislee twine, edge distresser, Cinch binder and wire.


Hope my project has inspired you to look at things in a different light and figure out how to reuse items as you craft.

Now, for the giveaway...


I've included a few of my favorite things: DCWV Paper Stack (World Traveler), Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type letter stickers, XXL & Mini Glue Dots©, handmade embellishments made using paper scraps and reusable packaging (created by yours truly).

The paper and adhesive are courtesy of DCWV and Glue Dots (a perk from being a Glue Dots Dottess). I must note that the World Traveler Stack is not as eco-friendly as other DCWV stacks such as The Green Stack, but it's from "my stash" and I'm all about using and sharing the supplies I currently own.
