This week at
it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Happy Earth Day!" and would like to celebrate by seeing your projects with reused or recycled items.
This is what I did.....
I always keep those store-bought cards that I like or find interesting that are given to me for Christmas. So, this is what the original card looked like.....
As you can see, I ripped out it's insides and then mounted it on some patterned paper. I did keep what I didn't use....pretty sure I'll be using those elements at some point. Added a sentiment from My Favorite Things and heat embossed with white embossing powder and that was that.
Why not give our challenge a go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.
