RECYCLED HALLOWEEN

Here is a RECYCLED HALLOWEEN card. The background was a Halloween envelope that I trimmed down to use as a background layer. Then I used an oval paper punch to punch out two of the spiders from a scrap of the envelope, glued them together, added spooky string and adhered to the sign.

SEA GLASS PENDANT

Here is an authentic piece of sea glass from the Oregon coast. It was hand picked by my Fabulous Friend, Norma as she was strolling the beach with her husband. I thought this might make an interesting pendant. I wire wrapped it and added a few beads. Recycling a gift from Mother Nature is delightful. Thanks for stopping by!

RECYCLED NEWSPAPER AD CARD

I was going to run errands this morning but it was raining with thunder and lightning so I shut down the computer and went into the studio to PLAY! I had a leftover advertisement from Sunday's Tampa Tribune featuring Disney. It looked like designer paper to me so I used my square paper punch and punched out several squares and thought, "What Now?"

I used four squares for a tea bag fold medallion. Then I made a "Z Fold" card base (Z Fold Directions here!) and used Labels Five Nesties for layering under the medallion. I cut more of the advertisement and used it as DP BG layers for the inside and for the back. Ha! It needed more, so I punched out corners, added a favorite sentiment from SparkleNSprinkle, a brad and a bow made from blue string. It's cute enough! Thanks for stopping by!

This is a view of the back of the card.

And THIS is the leftover scrap from the full sheet newspaper advertisement.

Recycling Rosie, that's ME!
