Hopefully this post has scheduled as i am at a hobby art workshop today.

This week we have the theme of

********Recycling********

As always you can create anything you wish, but please do make sure you tell us in your post what items you have recycled.

I am often compared to a squirrel by my family and last year kept the Christmas cracker waste, they were very pretty and had nice bows and berries!  I've done this before but not the crackers as well as the embellishments.

I have die cut from these to make by snowflakes and upcycled the bows, everything apart from the card blank, one gem and stamped image is recycled!  I've got load more to make cards up with
