Mini handmade recycled paper journal and upcycled tags as bookmarks. This is my sample and inspiration keepsake from my giveaways. My materials are either recycled, bought and upcycled for use to make this mini scrapbook or journal. It can be used for small size photo album keepsake or just notes, etc. Embellishments are described below.

NOTE: I tried to recycle catalogue junk mails at home as I do hate to see landfilled everywhere!

Materials:

Mini journal cover = made of recycled catalogues that thrown in our snail mail box every week in Australia.

Papers = bought from Officeworks store Australia

Tags = are recycled from bills envelope covered with bought postcard and travel design cloth from Spotlight Australia

Toilet Roll recycled = used as centerpiece on the recycled paper mini scrapbook

Butterfly silver = bought from Spotlight store by Jenni B. (ironically, the same name as mine).

Crocheted flower = yarn bought from Spothlight just the same.

Autumn Leaf = natural from nature!

Ballarat Autumn blooms theme in 2012 at the Robert Clark Conservatory at Ballarat's Botanical Gardens. It's great for macro-photography whenever you visit the different blooms varying in season after season. These Begonia blooms were right after the Begonia festival week when we had our walking exercise and recapturing the moments with Amorelle and my hubby.
