Happy National Scrapbooking Day!!

In celebration, the Design Team at Life Preservers has put together a fun blog hop full of challenges (4 to be exact!) and eye candy!!

Lisa and I have teamed up to bring you a fun sketch and the opportunity to celebrate Earth Day! If you follow my blog, you know how I love to use recycled items on my layouts!! With that in mind….
My requirement for your layout, is to add at least one recycled item...packaging, tag, cardboard, whatever you can scrounge from your recycling bin. For the other half of our challenge, visit Lisa’s blog for the super fun, cute sketch!

For my example, My recycled items consist of Prima packaging (they have the prettiest packaging ever!) as my photo mat; Hubby’s old blue jeans (heart); and a milk jug (butterflies)!! Yep, really!! I pulled an old Life Preservers kit and compiled all my goodies together based on the sketch found on Lisa’s blog.








To participate in our blog hop, visit each of the Design Teams blogs. As you complete the challenge posted, link your creation to the applicable blogs in their comments sections. (You can link this from your gallery on Life Preservers if you would like. ) For each challenge that you do, you will be entered into a random drawing for a prize from Life Preservers.
The teams are: Melissa & Andrea - Challenge #1
Laura Lee & Gabrielle - Challenge #2
Sharon & Rhonda - Challenge #3
Me (Jodi) & Lisa - Challenge #4
