love cardmaking

love1

I heart making paper things. The love card was all made from scrap paper leftovers. I have a sister who loves scrapbooking and she had these lux paper just waiting for me to make a card out of it. Well, any chance for me to get creative I will do. It took me about 1 hour to create, from idea to the final product.

diy badge holders

flower badge holders
The badges above are homemade by moi. I cannot take any credit for the idea of these "green" diy (do-it-yourself) badge holders. The idea was from a traveler nurse that worked in my unit. A dear friend made her a flower badge out of medicine caps. I found them to be inventive in recycling evil plastic caps. Many of these medicine caps are thrown in the trash and to live forever in a landfill. So why not get creative, save the caps and make a flower out of it. The scary part is, I didn't have to wait 2 or 3 weeks to collect my medicine caps, just 2 work shifts! My goal is to make flower badges for my unit to any coworker who is interested. To glue the pieces together was easy as 5 minutes. Hopefully they will take my offer because throwing away medicine caps are another waste product for an ever growing landfill. (-_-)
