Zero Waste Blog Hop

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀
Today I am hopping with a brand new blog hop, Zero Waste. This is right up my street because I love to upcycle and reuse rather than throw away, it's better for the planet right? So this gave me the excuse to use a packaging box I have been holding onto for a few years now as I knew I would think of the perfect upcycle project for it. So i have turned the packaging from the Stampin' Up! Stampin' Blends storage into an Index File box for my handmade cards. I have used some of my favourite DSP to decorate it that way I get to see it and love it.
