 Hey everybody, we are here for the third and final week for August of my creative year. The topic for the month has been reduce, reuse, and recycle and as I've done in months past I've been building a page over the month using our prompts for the week. The first week was reduce and I had us reduce our color palette to black, white, and one color and I chose green. The second week we reused items that we had in our stash or items that were trash or recycling and we created this little pocket we had here with the tag in it and a little tab made out of a bread tie. Super cute. This week we're going to recycle. Now you could consider that some of this is already recycling because you're already using trash here, old bits of scrap here, but what if you recycle old artwork into your page? I know, right? So this week I am going to break my one color rule, but that was for week one. So it's okay, kind of. So I have lots of old artwork that I've scanned into my computer so I can reprint it on sticker sheets and printer paper and cardstock and I make it into journal covers and use it as embellishments on other work. This week is no exception. So one of the new things I have is a build your own sticker or washi tape in my Etsy shop. This is some of my artwork. So I'm going to cut out three of these dots on here. Excuse me, and this is printed on every full sheet sticker or label paper. It's every number. I know somebody's going to ask me every something. I'll put it in the description below. It doesn't say on the back here. But they're eight and a half by eleven sheets and the whole thing is sticky. Anyway, I will put it in the description for you all. So I'm going to just roughly cut these out. I'm not going to be perfect about it. I could punch them if I wanted, but I don't want to. Some of these have green in them, so I'm not completely breaking my green rule, although I'm adding a sort of a teal color or turquoise color, but that could that's kind of in the green spectrum, but it's more towards the blue, technically, so it's breaking a little bit. But look how that makes that pop though. So I'm going to just peel these off. I'm going to stick one there. If they don't want to stick well, that one would not want to stick well because there's still backing paper on there. If they don't want to stick well, put a little bit of gel medium or glue underneath them. But usually they stick pretty well as long as you get all the backing paper off. I'm going to have to bend back a little corner. On this one, I'm going to just fold it back to the back side. Okay, so the other thing I'm going to do is I'm going to, I think I want to do some journaling on this little card. Didn't we have this problem last week? I need a pen that'll write because I have the plastic there, right? So I have a pit pen. I'm going to write some journaling. I'm going to write something on here about what this means to me. I'm going to fast-forward through that and I'll be right back. Okay, there we go. I really love this page for August. This is a really great page with a great message. Just doing what makes me happy. Want wonder, love and dream. Don't limit yourself to others recycled expectations. I love this and I hope it gave you some ideas of what you can do with the topic and prompt for this month that's out of the box, out of the ordinary, and not what you would immediately think of when you read the prompts and topic. All right, that's it for this month. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, you can leave them here on the YouTube, on the video here on YouTube, or if you're part of the Facebook group, you can leave it over there in the group. Make sure to tag me or one of the other teachers when you do that, though, when you have a question. If you're not in the Facebook group, you'd like to be, go to my link-tree link, which is in the description below the video and has every single place on the internet you can find me, including the Facebook group for my creative year. That's it for today. Go out, have a great day, make some fun art, do something nice for yourself because you deserve it, and I'll see you later. Bye guys.
