Today is Earth Day and I LOVE THE EARTH! Who's with me?
May Arts and the Ribbonistas love the earth too so we got together to share in the love.
Today is all about up-cycling and ribbon. I'm starting off the hop with these...
This is how my project started.
These are mini wooden organizers that used to hold wood veneer aka packaging. How can anyone throw this away?
Here's how I up-cycled them to be hanging shadow boxes. I love the little compartments. You can add so much accents. To add the hanging element just adhere ribbon around then side of the box like so.
Made one all about my kiddos and the other for my love.
"You & Me"

"LOVE THEM for like ever"

All pattern paper and embellishments are from Glitz designs " Uncharted waters" collection.
Here are the awesome fibers I used on this project.
Okay now do you want to win yourself a collection of lovely earth day ribbon?
Just leave a comment on this and every post along the hop and the ribbon lady will pick one person to win all this earthy goodness.

Love the idea. I've recycled almost all my life and sometimes my kids make fun of me but I don't care. Something reused is not going into the trash. I love how it makes me feel good about doing something for the earth.
