It's Earth Day!!

 Every year for the last several that I've been playing along with Jingle Belles they commit one prompt to our beautiful planet!!  For Earth Day they ask that whatever you make....be sure it's something recycled or reused or repurposed in some way!!  Save the planet!!

I combined my cards with two other challenges.....on Unity's FB Show & Tell page they are challenging us to use our "itty bitty" stamps and at build your stash of holiday cards FB page they are challenging us with a sketch!!  

So without further delay.....here are my projects!!


first my pile of trash......ummm......elements! LOL


I used some crumpled tissue paper (rescued from trash bin), some acrylic paint and a bubble mailer (also from the trash) to create this background!




So for this one I used a scrap laying on my desk (black/white stripe), my background and my focal image were stamped on an index card, the red mat and sentiment strip were from the back of a photo card.  Stamped image from Unity Stamp Co. "small stuff christmas."


Next I used some plastic bottle tops and acrylic paint to create this background.  The background and focal image were done on an index card.  The strips at the bottom are of a rice krispies box (brown) and scrap paper on my desk.  Stamped image from Unity Stamp Co. "Holiday Joy Christmas Tree."


Lastly I used a background stamp from Unity Stamp (wonky stripes), cardboard from the rice krispies box (brown and blue stripe and blue circle).  Stamped image from Unity Stamp Co. (warm & cozy)
and my sketch to follow!

So much fun!!!  I didn't want to stop!!
