I ♥ Recycling

OK, so I am quite proud of this :)
All the paper on this card is recycled.  Yay.
It is all packaging from my Imaginisce products - the heart paper was from a package of flowers, and the yellow paper from some transfers.  How pretty???  Far too pretty to throw away.  So I added rub-ons and my favourite thickers and voila.
How great is recycling :)
I also made this little card using a few leftovers and more of that yellow packaging.
I can't believe how quickly this week has gone... I'll be SO glad when it's over.  Being a teacher can be so stressful....
P.S. I'm on the Papercrafts blog today - they've shown a card I had published in Stamp It! Cards.  Yay! :)

    If you hadn't told us, I would never have known that the cards used packaging. They are so pretty.

    Look at you go! Great idea, and your cards look like you went out and shopped for designer papers! Perfect!!!

    AWESOME! I LOVE recycling too! When people buy from my Etsy shop they get my breakfast cereal box keeping their papers from getting bent and I use the cello on packaging to repackage thier goodies. I LOVE what you made with your packages! :)
