Recycle

If you come to my blog often, you KNOW that I love to use recycled items in my cardmaking. Therefore I was delighted when I found out what this week's ABC Challenges has for its theme.





April 22 - 28

Theme: Earth Day
Create a card using something recycled.

Please tell us in your blog post what item you recycled so we can ooh and ahh over your creativity!



Here's my card:




Can you tell what I recycled?


I used a part of a page from a children's book for my background paper.





It was such fun! I added some bling flowers to the grassy scene and of course I stamped another boat to float in the stream. Other than that, it was a pretty simple card. But a fun one!






Here's the inside of my card:




I used a small piece from another page of the book and stamped the sentiment on it.

What a wonderful idea to use a page out of a book to use as a background. I am gonna have to remember that. I really like how your card turned out. Great job!
