GREEN...it's not just a COLOR,




It's a WAY of LIFE!

in our house we even have a little song,

"RECYCLE, Recycle, RECYCLE"

(trust me it's catchy!)




Along with our song we have a lot of "NOT-TRASH"


but a lot of Potential to help save our Earth!



Look around at all the Potential near you...


just about everything comes in a cup, a box, a bag, a carton, a jar etc...


our "NOT-TRASH" lives in our pantry...

(this photo is of their home ready to be filled up again!
-in a house of 5 it doesn't take long!

We haven't even mentioned PAPER...
junk mail, worksheets, magazines...

crafting scraps OH MY!



It adds up fast!

It takes very little effort and time

to have a bin or a bag set up to put it all in -

INSTEAD of the trash; because it is "NOT-TRASH"

and then to take it to a local RECYCLE Center.

It's even quite a riot to look in the bin and see your graded homework! :)






In the effort to tie my passion for recycling,


the latest The Pixie Cottage Challenge


based on the color GREEN,


my LOVE of scrapbooking,


AND Q-pid the Fairy STAMP I designed


... I present you this layout...


"RECYCLE Queen"
A great display of how a "red and pink" Valentines image
can be used for so much more~ truly ANYTHING you LOVE!
Hearts are in style all year round!
You know me well...
her WHOLE WORLD is SHINY!



And HOW PERFECT are these pins!?
They look exactly like her arrows!
*and I recycled pattern paper scraps
from my Dinosaur layout to journal on !!

To incorporate the title into her outfit
I used Green wire and alphabet beads~
couldn't have designed better if I had intended
Q-pid to have a twin sister that fancies herself a RECYCLE QUEEN!

  1. Let me tell you first how much I admire you for taking all the time involved to recycle, and to get your kids involved in such a worthwhile project.
    Secondly, the scrapbook page is such a unique take on the "green" theme, I love your out of the box thinking. (You are the queen of green for sure)
