I make a conscious effort to be "green" especially when it comes to crafting....stretching the use of supplies and using "found" objects on my projects. While I love the effect of luscious layers on my layouts, I try to create depth through inking and mixing different textures instead of adding layers of paper on top of each other. Not only do I do my part for the environment, my scrapbooks are lighter and a lot less bulky! :)
What about you? Are you a green crafter?
I love this Pink Paislee paper (base). It has some resist design on it so all I had to do was ink and mist a little. The burlap fabric is from the Gauche Alchemy BabyKiddoCutie Papercraft kit. I also used Ouchless cardboard to add a little dimension to my layout! And those pull-off tabs tell you how many drinks I've had! ;) Alphas are from American Crafts.
This layout was inspired by the challenge over at Better Living Through Scrapbooking. Gauche Alchemy's a sponsor this month so do play along for your chance to win some goodies! :)

That misting work is amazing! Love the green details of the pop tabs and the burlap. I'm more green because I'm cheap, I like to use all that I can and not waste anything! My first published card was rescued from the recycle bin, I just reused the elements!

Great use of pull tabs...your spread is charming and wonderful and inspiring!
I enjoy giving life to discarded items ... I look at it as a kind of rescue mission and my dh helps me collect items too. Often he has street treasure for me at the end of the day.

Nice .. Save the mother earth
XOXO
Beautiful Layout as ever!!
I have always been a green crafter, saving every bit of scrap, using "found" objects, reusing when possible. It gives me immense pleasure to turn simple things creative :D
Ow how great it is truly beautiful.
I love the idea!
Ohyeah! This is a gorgeous LO!
Great job on being green!! This is gorgeous!
Yvonne, this is really cool.
I like to try and use everything too. It feels good to stretch my stash and also to not waste anything too x
Love the colors on this layout......n use of those pull-off tabs is just brilliant.
Whenever I layer PP I cut out the part which is hidden below the top layer.....that way I do my bit for the env n save up on expensive PP too :P
SUPER DUPER AWESOME layout!.. love the upcycled materials.. I am soo inspired! :D
What a fun layout! I love the concept and I just LOVE those pull tabs!
How great is this...GREAT!!!!!!!!!! Love that Burlap!!!
Wishing you a great day!!! :-)
I use whatever I can find and re-use lots of items so am I a green crafter then? I guess in a way I am... I love your layout yvonne!
loving the pop can lids and string - very creative :D
funny, i posted on something green i used today too :D
Now, that is a green project!!! Super cool use of those tabs. I am , sadly, not a green crafter :-( I think I should be!!
This is fabulous! Love everything about it! What a great concept and thanks for passing on this idea!
lovely layout and I love those tabs. never thought of it before.
Goooorgeous!!
I try to be green. Not "just" because I think it's important to bring the care into the crafting as well, but because it's FUN to use unique things, too! ...but I never made anything THAT pretty! :D
wow...fabbie projects...I probably collect more stuff than I actually use..LOL...I'm trying to be better:)
This is darling! My 3 BFFs are total earth friend peeps and I try...but I do love my paper, lol.
Awesome layout!! Love how u used the character from Alice in the wonderland to "discuss" the save the earth issue. Brilliant!!
You are just a repurposing genius! I am not so green when it comes to crafting, but I did find myself searching my basement last night looking for something to alter :>) Oh and I did save something to use as an embellie while cleaning my daughter's room and my first thought was Yvonne would be proud of me!
