New monthly hybrid challenge – Project reNEWit
Hi everyone, Heather (hedderlee) here to announce our very first Project reNEWit monthly challenge! You may be familiar with Project reNEWit from previous blog posts. It is such a neat concept that we decided to expand its reach here at ScrapMatters. The items in your home that would otherwise be dumped into the recycling bin or – gasp – shoved into the garbage can get a second life as art through your participation in this challenge. Fellow ScrapMatters member Donna Sangwin, our resident recycling expert and director of reCREATE, and the hybrid team will be offering fresh takes on enviro-crafting.
My home produces a substantial amount of scrap paper because of my daughter Amanda’s homeschooling. But rather than forcing my kids and husband to use the other side of the scrap paper, which they refuse to do, I created some notepads with them using Simply Sweet Designs’ Celebrate With Me kit:
The tutorial to create notepads is included in the March ScrapMatters newsletter – be on the look out for it!
And some matchbook notepads:
You can find the template for the notepads in the shop.
This made me realize that there are so many creative possibilities to use these scraps. So for the March challenge, we will be creating projects with scrap paper that have gone through your home or work printer. Please be aware that this does not refer to junk mail or newspaper; these materials will be handled in future challenges. We’re looking for your scrap paper projects, folks.
Take a look at hybrid team member Jaime’s (ocmath) take on this month’s scrap paper challenge!
Here she created a notebook using scrap paper folded in half and cardboard from a recent photo order.
And Jaime’s versions of the matchbook notepads have little activities printed on them. How clever!
Just a little reminder: As part of the Matter of Scrap challenge system, you will receive one point for each completed, photographed project. Remember, you must post in both the subforum and in the gallery to receive credit. A random winner will be selected to receive an additional point just for participating.
Can’t wait to see your goodies in the gallery and forum!
