Take What Is Old And Make It New!

This week's La-La Land Crafts Challenge is all about recycling!  Make something out of materials you have.  When I saw this challenge, I knew I wanted to try a project that I have been saving the main component to use.

Here is my entry.  Can you guess what I used?

Give up?  Can you believe I made a mini book out of a coffee sleeve?  That's right!  All the months I have been going to Starbucks and ordering my usual chai tea latte, I never would have thought the one thing to protect my hand from getting burned can turn into something I could use for showing photos, journaling, just about anything!

There are many tutorials out there how to make this mini book, but this tutorial from Fiskars is pretty good.  Click here to see the tutorial.

The image is Easter Maya, another new digi image that is from La-La Land Crafts' new Easter collection.  I colored Maya with the following Copic colors:

E35, YR04, Y15, Y17, RV06, G02, R20 and the colorless blender

Maya's background are flowers from newspaper that I punched with my Marvy Uchida punch.  The ribbon, flowers, brads, and green staples are from my old stash of supplies.

I really liked how my book came out that I think I will do one for my co-worker as a gift for her birthday. :)

Thanks for stopping by!
