Mine is the letter R ....for "Repurpose" ......something that you would throw away or not normally use for scrapbooking ...like packaging from your scrapbooking supplies, cupcake liners, popcycle sticks, etc.
Here is the sketch if you missed it:
And here is my example up to this point. I used the different packaging and sewed it down to be one of my background pieces ...and then later you will see that I used the backing from the sun Jenni Bowlin Stamp as part of my journaling block ....

I always have fun trying to figure out what to repurpose/ reuse...fun!!
There you are! I have a stack of things to repurpose. I just haven't done it yet - lol
Very very clever girlie! Cant wait to see the rest of it!
I love using packaging!!! The amount of work that goes into the graphics makes for some amazing new embellies!!
When I'm putting away my new scrapbooking supplies, I'm amazed at how much packaging I throw away. Guess I'd better start using it, right?
I used repurposed items on my pages all the time. The packaging these days is just fantastic!
I love repurposing things. Love what you have started can't wait to see more.
terrific ideas!
I love using packaging!! Some of it is better than the product itself!! LOL!!
I think this is a great idea! Can't wait to see your completed LO.
I am a follower now! I like the technique you used. I do have a stack for reusing but just don't always go to it!

Kristin you are the queen of re-purposing!!! and I love it.. it's one thing I love to do too!!! great post
I LOVE using packaging and such....right up my alley! Can't wait to see your finished LO!!
Very clever use of "trash". What a fun hop so far!
Great way to go GREEN!!!
I love to use the packages, too. Some of them are just so cute.
I do so love to be crative with the packaging, some of it is so pretty. Thanks for the inspiration!
Kristen, you are always soooo clever!! Love to see your great ideas!!
Great idea! Need to be better at doing this.
Very clever! Love trying to reuse!
So love the idea of how you used the old packaging. I love Jenny Bowlin's backgrounds for her products and you've found a very innovative way to use them. Fabulous idea Kristin!
I've started using a lot of packaging lately. I love all the grid backings that seem to come with stamps lately!
Repurposing is always fun! THanks for the reminder!
Fun idea Kristin and loved that you sewed them together!
Repurposing is a budget scrapper's friend ;)
Using the packaging is a really cool idea. I love to use different things in my scrapbooking.
I love to save things to use again - this will have to be the 4th "R" Reduce, Reuse, Recycle or Repurpose - Scrapbookers doing their part for Earth Day!
great ideas! I have been noticing the companied are making the packing recyle-worthy. I hate throwing things away.
I'm a bad re-user but you made it look so easy. I will definitely start saving my packaging and try to work it into a layout every now and then!
Yep, I'm just now finding me some time to do this hop! Great tip on the repurposing, Kristin! Now I'm always on the lookout of how I can turn something into a way to use on a layout.
