Friday Favorites: Upcycling

I am SO ready to send this Friday right back to whatever depths it came from! I was supposed to be off work but ended up there most of the day anyway, had a pet-related containment breach (the dogs got out of the fence), a broken water pipe outside, and then a virtual marathon of phone calls with my insurance company and pharmacy arguing about a prescription refill. Oh, and the air conditioner in my car is going out. :(

But let's forget about that and look at some fun stuff, okay?

 

From left to right:

• Check out some cool ATCs made from upcycled junk mail at Rachie's Place.
• Margie Romney-Aslett shows how to make paper chandeliers in a segment on KSL's Studio 5. These are just begging me to be used in the upcoming baby shower!
• Amazing Mae brings more upcycling goodness- just look at these lovely envelopes made from catalog (or magazine) pages.
• This week has been organization week on Write. Click. Scrapbook., and they show some awesome rooms here and here.
• Studio Calico shared a beautiful page by Susan Weinroth as well as a sketch based on the layout. 
• Also from Studio Calico (and Susan Weinroth) comes a tutorial on making fabric envelopes- how cute would these be for your handmade greeting cards?!?!?
• Zakka Life shows how to upcycle all kinds of discarded paper into doodle pads. Fun stuff!
• Oh, Hello Friend shared a pretty little thank-you themed mini album.
• And, finally, Pugly Pixel brings us a tutorial on how to make scalloped edges for your digital photos.

Have a scrappy weekend, everyone!
