recycling MR tins for Environmental Day

.

Remember those dull aluminum tins / "suitcases" the Maya Road chipboards came in?
.

Well, here's what my sis came up with for our STAR (newspaper) Environmental Day drive this coming Sunday.

So, ladies ...

. Want not . Waste not .

...err, since we are addicted to scrapbooking, the "want not" mantra may be hard to stick to, so let's recycle and save the environment instead.

ali inspires ... why not scrap-lift?

SCRAP-LIFT?!?

oh, well...
...................we all do it from time to time.

A little help and inspiration from the "gurus" wouldn't hurt. So, while I was flipping through my latest CK mag, I saw this!

"OMG, I have the same Bo Bunny LOVE Album!"

Immediately I sprinted to my basement room (hee hee, the advantage of having a scrapbook store I guess) and grabbed one LOVE album for myself.

"I'll make an album for Becks," I thought. "Ahh... let's make one for Bryant as well." So, I took two albums rather than one. Since mine is still in progress ... here's more pix of the pro's - Ali Edwards.
