Recycled Phone Book Pen Organizer
I never pick up the phone books when they are distributed around my building anymore but if I had one, I would love to make this recycled phone book pen organizer by Chica and Jo. Wouldn't it be fun to just cut apart a big o' phone book? [via Twitter SisterDiane]

How-To: Stitch a Sprout Card
I love stitching on paper, so this card from Emily of Red Bird Crafts makes me really happy. She walks you through the steps of freehand machine sewing on paper so you, too, can whip up a sprout card of your own.

Celebrating Recycling!
Do you have a blue bin? They make recycling SO easy. My twitter friend Joscie documents arrival of her blue bin with this great scrapbook page. I love that she uses a photo with nice depth of field and repetition to anchor this "green" spread with a blue color scheme. You can check out her unique take on scrapping at her blog, cutchens.com. I'd describe Josice's style as deeply personal, emotional, witty, modern and full of creative fun.

PaperBling!
Yup. There it is. That stack of old magazines you've been saving to ... hmmm, what was the plan again? Coffee table? Collage? DIY dollhouse? Cut and paste cookbook? Well, there's really no shortage of what to do with printed paper goods, and Maria of PaperBling reminds us that upcycling paper is fun.
All her paper scrap jewelry is made with old magazines -- mostly from Elle, Elle Decor, Weekend Guardian magazine, Icon -- cut by hand, waterproofed with plastic foil (the same type you use for school books), and then sewn by hand with invisible thread. Each necklace is given a name accompanied by a fabulous description. For instance, Chlorine reads: "You are stuck in the city, not lost in a seaside paradise. It's hot, and sticky. You go down to the pool, and there's that buzz, and the splash!, and that wet freshness. And the thousand random kids, and your magazine ...." Ah, how refreshing! Now go out and try it yourself!

Postcard + Garden = PostCarden
I'm swooning over these awesome postcard gardens from PostCarden. They arrive ready to open, plant and grow and come in three distinct styles (allotment, city or botanical). The stop-motion video shows the entire process, and you can see pictures of each PostCarden on their web site gallery. [via Benevolent Postcard Society]

Caffeinated Pin Book
By Jessica Wilson
The mister likes to joke that I can turn anything into a needlebook, or at least I talk about turning pretty much everything into a needlebook. Not that we all need that many needlebooks but I think they're handy to have multiples of (I tend to misplace them). I have Macgyvered oodles of objects, including matchbooks and gum packages, into the nifty things. This time I bring you a pseudo-caffeinated version perfect for corralling pretty happy pins in one place. All you need is a cardboard coffee sleeve and a few extras, and your good to go!
