Bird recycling

-
I've been wanting to play in the challenge 12 months of Christmas link up because you get really great paper just for participating!!!  But I'm still not making cards like I use too.... it takes me forever to make one... man... looking forward to being back!

Anyway so I'm sharing some recycling that I made with some Christmas cards that I got this year.  The images were really awesome and it's something that I have seen Hazel do and I thought it was quite clever.  So I had put some aside last year and they stayed in a drawer.... pretty useless... so this year I made a few and hoping to make more!

I used paper from Nordic Holiday by Basic Grey I'm almost finished that pack...  I used my Large squre, Label 11 Fleur de lis square.  I used some shimmer cardstock by DCWV.  I used a bunch of blings and that's it!  How easy right?!?  But I still think it turned out pretty good.  And it's a great way to reuse something and give it another life.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

  1. 12 months of christmas link up - Christmas card and twist I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus - didn't  do the twist obviously
  2. Crafty hazelnuts christmas challenge - Feature a Creature
  3. Crafty hazelnuts christmas challenge - Anything goes Christmas
  4. Stamps fun-creativity - Frame
I will be back shortly with my next card... need to enter 2 in order to be eligible for that paper :)

Hugs

    Great bit of recycling. I try and reuse as many of my cards as possible. some of them are a shame to throw in the bin otherwise. hugs Mrs A.
