Good morning and hope you are having a lovely Easter weekend. We have a new challenge at Card Makin' Mamas and the theme this fortnight is Earth Friendly. We want to see you recycle or reuse something and it does not have to be a card. Here is what I did:
I took this
and made this
Before you say yummy the box was empty! The papers are some really really old ones from a scrapbooking set and the butterfly and tag were part of the set. I used lots of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and a Magnolia Doohickey doily die.
Our sponsor is Zap Pow Designs with a prize of three of their images. Please go over to Card Makin' Mamas and see what the rest of the DT have made.
Challenges I would like to enter:
