While admiring several cards submitted for Dawn McVey’s recent Raspberry Suite Challenge, I came across Courtney Baker’s site, “One day at a time” and this challenge
where we’re asked to use something from the (junk) mail on our cards or scrapbook pages.
I absolutely love this idea since I “try” to recycle as much as possible.
I was a tad bummed because nothing (or so I thought) workable came in yesterday’s mail and our mailperson doesn’t arrive until after 1:00 PM.
tick…tock…tick…tock…
So…while running around the house doing chores, I came across this….
I immediately saw the possibilities and this is what I came up with…
I'm thinking it might also work for the ‘Take a Bow” challenge over at Caardvarks where we’re challenged “to use ribbon in some wonderful way!”
Two challenges in one...makes me smile!
Card Deets:
Fall Sale Postcard (Chicos)
Fun Dots (Offray Ribbon)
Pumpkin Halloween Ribbon (Michaels)
Fall Plywood Pumpkins by Harvest Crafts (Hobby Lobby)
Raffia
Thanks for looking…
