How to Use Packaging in a Creative Way
7/18/2008 10:52:48 AM (Eastern Daylight Time, UTC-04:00)
I love finding new uses for items that might normally be thrown away. In this layout, I used packaging from Fancy Pants Designs and Making Memories as embellishments. I cut off the scalloped edge of the Fancy Pants packaging and inked it with a brown ink. I used the top of the packaging from Making Memories' Noteworthy collection and inked the edges in blue. I also found this little brown notebook with paper samples on our the bistro here at work. I cut out the three holes and used the paper samples to show some of the reasons why I love Zach's heart.
(F.Y.I. The bistro counter is the place where people leave objects they no longer need or want in our office. It could be anything from food to free books and magazines. It's important to pass by the bistro several times a day to check out the goods.)
Look around your house and see if there's anything that can be salvaged and used on your next scrapbooking project. Hope you're inspired to create something this weekend and turn your trash into something you'll treasure.
Create something. Inspire everyone.
