Hi Natasha - welcome to the group, bit quiet in here!  It's always good to hear of ways to recycle stuff so if you want to start discussions up above feel free!

Hi Everyone, being quite frugal with my crafting due to budget i thougth this group would be great to join. I reuse what I can from bows and embellishments on clothing to magazines and papers, even old and broken jewelery for the beads and gems. Even odd earrings no longer get thrown out. They get thoroughly cleaned and used for flower centres or as a brad!!!

I have just published an article on tips to make greeting cards for (almost) free.

Hi, I have just joined card-making world.  I have made and sold handmade paper on a small home-based scale for about 17 years.  Even the ultimate in recycling - paper textured with horse manure and elephant dung.  Have written some articles on Suite 101, including how to make money from handmade paper.  With today's economy I think everyone should look around them and be more aware of the loads of "free" craft materials.  From my shop I collect collect cardboard boxes in which our stock is delivered and take them to the paper waste collectors.  Instead of getting cash I "swop" for waste paper I can use for papermaking.  I often find loads of coloured paper and even coloured cardboard I use in cardmaking, for labels, etc.

Hello Ecocrafters
Just to let you know that "Recycling Christmas Cards" is on a special sale for you here on CMW. I am expanding the set to include more projects with all greeting card types and hence the original set of ebook (photographs and instructions) and templates (40 of them no less) is on 50% sale for Christmas in July!

It really is a bargain and the additions later in the year will also be available seperately for those who have the first set. More info under Anni Arts in the designers section.

Regards
Anni
