Recycling!

Hello friends

Hope you are all having a leisurely Sunday, perhaps managing to sit down and read a book....

(that's my feeble link to books today!)

Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine asked me to create some projects using book pages.  

I have just the one old book - Charles Dickents - A Tale of Two Cities, 

this book has certainly been recycled - many times!

I chose a wood grain background paper - My Mind's Eye - Miss Charlotte,

added a single book page (I had to keep flicking through the book to find some appropriate wording, I wish I had an old copy of Pride and Prejudice or Jane Eyre, think that would be calmer reading!)

I cut down the one page a little and inked the edges.

I then chose Lacey Squares, a strip of stamped sentiment and then added butterflies, 

using some book pages there too.

It's a little unusual but I was happy with the end result.

If you visit my blog regularly you will probably know how much of an animal lover I am,

Bella features often and so do my cats (when they can be bothered to move and not sleep!) 

I was recently contacted by a lady who is involved in animal charities on the island of Crete.  

Now, I'm not going to ask you for a single penny but here is a clever way of supporting the charity.  

If you are about to make a purchase from Amazon please click into this website first,
you are then directed to the normal Amazon website but 

a small percentage of your pennies goes to the charity.
So clever, so quick and such a good cause. 

Talking of animals, Bella is going for a haircut tomorrow (her hairdressing bill is more than mine!)

Happy Sunday dear friends.
