Here is my second card for the most recent Jingle Belles Challenge, in honor of Earth Day, to create a card by recycling, re-using, or rescuing something. The penguin is a used gift tag from a few years ago. The snow flakes were leftover from a card I made for the last JB challenge. And the lighter blue paper is a scrap from something...I have no idea what. The sentiment at the bottom is a little hard to read in the photo, it says "brrrrr."
"Second card? But where is the first one?" you ask. Good questions. Before making my first card I said to myself, "Self", I said, "you should create a card made out of 100% recycled materials." And I did, using a tissue box, scraps of paper, a ribbon that came off the penguin gift tag above, another ribbon off an old bow and part of an office file folder. And it's quite ghastly. I haven't decided whether to post it for posterity or just put it out of its misery.
