Trash those layouts!!

Okay, okay! It's not what you think! This week's challenge at Lasting Memories is to recycle!! We want you to use anything you can recycle on your layouts! Scraps or anything you can recycle!

This challenge is perfect! I remember during our baby shower, as I was opening presents, I remember thinking about how cute all the gift bags were. I saved all the bags and wanted to use them for my layouts for the baby shower. Almost a year later, I still haven't started the scrapbook, so this was definitely a good way for me to get going on the project!


For this layout, I used the top trim of the bag along with all the small lettering and images.





The star background of this layout was from a bag which I wasn't able to take a photo of. The ribbon the tag is from the bag's handles.





The background of this layout are all the little images from the bottom of the bag.


The caption of the layout was from the top print of the bag and the rope and bow are from the handles.





The blue striped background is what I used from the bag.





The base of the layout is from the bag. The ric rac is a handle from a different bag.





The base of the layout is from the bag and the bow is from a different bag.





The final two layouts were created with random scraps I had from my DCWV and Making Memories stashes.


Stop by this week and show us how you recycle on your layouts!
