Earth Day Projects for Kids

As my oldest daughter was in the midst of transforming fast food drink carriers into upcycled art, I browsed Pinterest to see what other projects may interest my children for the upcoming Earth Day celebration.

Follow Danielle Hunter's board Earth Day Projects for Kids on Pinterest.

I tracked down five of my favorite recycled projects to find out how to make them:

1. Junk Mail Tree via Celebrate Green Blog

2. Egg Carton Art via Mod Podge Rocks

3. Heart Crayons via Wenderly

4. Bottlecap Art via Eco-Artware Blog

5. Carton Wallet via Spoonful

If I had to chose just one, I'd go with the egg carton art. I've been all about recycling toilet paper rolls and was pretty impressed with the plethora of upcycled egg carton projects on Pinterest. ~Danielle

Layout a Day is Over & I'm Still Scrapbooking

By the time Layout a Day is over, I'm usually done scrapbooking until the next round of daily challenges, but not this time! LOAD214 wrapped up last Friday and I didn't quite make my goal of finishing Tabatha's pet memorial scrapbook. There are still a few more layouts I need to work on, plus do something creative with the cover.

As I finish up the scrapbook, I'd like you to enjoy a few of my favorite layouts featuring our sweet Tabby girl:

"Peace"

Supplies: cardstock (Wausau, BasicGrey), BasicGrey stickers, twine. Inspired by this pin.

"Our Sweet Girl"

Supplies: cardstock (BasicGrey, Wausau), stickers (Jillibean Soup, October Afternoon, Bella Blvd., BasicGrey), acrylic paint. Inspired by this pin.

"Dance"

Supplies: cardstock (Wausau, Basic Grey), CTMH brackets, Bella Blvd. stickers, acrylic paint. Inspired by this pin.

"Diva"

Supplies: cardstock (BasicGrey, Wausau, black), American Craft Thickers, girly stickers I've had for several years, punches, doilies, washi tape, Close To My Heart stamp, StazOn ink. Inspired by this pin.

"The Waiting Game"

Supplies: cardstock (Wausau & lots of BasicGrey scraps I've saved this month), twine, stickers (Echo Park, Sassafras, Bella Blvd), staples. Inspired by this pin.

Pet Memorial Scrapbook: The First & Last Pages

Since February 1st, I've been concentrating on Tabatha's memorial scrapbook during Layout a Day. I'm enjoying the process so far, scrapbooking fun memories and putting off the harder, more emotional pages. It's been a little easier since I'm letting scrapbook layouts on Pinterest inspire me and giving less thought into the creation process.

I've completed the first and last pages of the tribute album, with a few in between. Here's the introduction page where I used a paper bag for additional journaling:

The final page has no photo, only the card sent to us from the emergency vet after Tabatha's passing and features the "Rainbow Bridge" poem I shared in my Saying Goodbye post:

Both of the scrapbook pages are a couple favorites of mine. I really love the colorful butterflies that flutter perfectly with the poem. See my completed pet tribute pages on Flickr and follow along on Twitter as I share them each day this month. ~Danielle
