in2scraps "Go Green" March Challenge

Happy Monday! in2scraps March's Challenge was to, "Go Green!" I decided to scrapbook a snapshot of my little Macie. You cannot see from the snapshot, but her shirt reads, Think Green. She was holding a little flower, in her hands and I knew this would coordinate well with the paper I selected.
I decided to use products from TPC Studio. They had a darling little collection, called Woodland Whimsy! It is so whimsical, with the birds and trees. I purchased this line last summer while in Texas. It is nice to finally be able to use some of this cute paper!
"Save the World for Me"

Supplies:
Patterned Paper: TPC Studio(Woodland Whimsy)
Cardstock: Bazzill
Chipboard Sticker Letters: TPC Studio(Woodland Whimsy)
Buttons: Magic Scraps(remember this company???)
Tree Chipboard: Maya Road
Stamps: Technique Tuesday
Flock: Doodlebug
Other: Martha Stewart border punch, string, Cricut
I really had fun with this page, and decided to incorporate a mini "banner." Banners are something I have been noticing on pages, and really love the cute detail they add to a page. However, I do not have banner punch or stamp. I knew I did not want to cut the triangles! LOL I love easy, so I turned to my Cricut! Luckily, I have the Sweet Treats Cartridge. It has a birthday hat that I used to create the banner. My banner pennants are 2 3/4. Super easy, and super cute!  
Where is the challenge??? I decided to recycle something that I seem to always have around in my scrapbook room! A simple paper bag from Timeless Treasures! (do not tell Steven) I thought outside of my "box", and created these simple paper flowers, out of an actual paper bag! 
These are the only items I used to create the flowers! Only four scrapbooking products! (Okay, five, I forgot about the Sizzix die!)   

 
A few details:

I also covered the chipboard tree with the paper bag, and inked the edges.

Now, my children can tell their teachers, that we recycle more than just plastic and cans!  LOL Their Mom also found a new way to recycle the many bags from her favorite scrapbook store!
Now, hop on over to Jeannette, and see the amazing project she created for this project!
Thanks for visiting today! 
Hugs,
