Going Green

This past Tuesday CKMB had a Happy Hour with the theme of going green. (That is with you scrapbooking) All of the ladies had such great ideas and I thought I would share these great ideas with you. (But remember a lot of the ideas came from the ladies on CKMB. So they deserve most of the credit.)

Here are a few ideas:

• Save all of you scraps (You can use them to make cards and die cuts with punches and die cut machines)
• Use Clothing tags
• Save plastic from packages to make ghost letters and shapes
• Save ribbon from packages
• Buy paper from recycled materials (K&Co has a new line at Wal-Mart of stuff made from things that are recycled)
• Wrap small gifts with paper that you know you won't use.
• Use plastic packaging for paint trays
• When making mats for photos cut out the middle
• Use buttons from old clothing
• Use soap and water to clean stamps instead of baby wipes

Here are some links to the Happy Hour posts so you can get some more ideas:
