Friends and Recycling

Hello and Happy Monday!  I'm bringing you another Friends of Speedy TV challenge, number 55.  This week we focus on recycling.  My recycling almost feels like cheating, I love it so much.  My recycled element is the designer paper, which isn't really designer paper but the front notecard I received from a co-worker.  I think holding onto pretty papers, whether I have paid for them or not, is part of my paper crafting affliction.  With my "patterned paper" as my starting point, I had to find a way to embellish it and not cover it up.  I embossed a couple of butterflies from Daffodil Greetings on vellum and backed them with some light green paper.  Then I found a sentiment that fit into an oval punch.  I repeated the same sentiment as last week because I love it that much!

 

A quick tip on my oval punch:  Mark's Finest Papers clear stamps are perfect for laying over the outside of the punch in order to see if the sentiment fits!!  

 

Now don't forget that Mark's Finest Papers generously offers a stamp set to one lucky participant.  Will it be you?  I hope so.  Today's stamp set is Bring on the Sun.

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Go on now and play along!
