An "Earth-Friendly" Challenge

Hi eveyone! Today's Tuesday and you know what that means!!! A new DCRU Challenge! This week is one of my favorite yet, create an Earth Friendly Project. Let your imagination run away! You can use earthy papers, encorporate things from nature, or let your project have an earthy meaning. Whatever you think of, do it! There's no wrong answer.

This week the DT used the new Cosmo Cricket "Earth Love" line available at the DCRU Store. The paper, chipboard, and tags are just adorable. And here's a surprise, the entire Earth Love Collection is on sale this week through Saturday for 35% off regular price!!
