Allsorts 326 - Recycle/Upcycle

Hi All

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

Our sponsors

We have two prizes this week from our very generous sponsors, the first is a choice of 3 images from Scrappers Delight...................

My name is Janice (AKA Scrapper's Delights), I discovered the digital scrap booking world November 2008 and started to Design February 2009 and really love it so I decided I wanted to have my own shop so here we are lol.

And the second is Crafty Ribbons with a collection of pretty ribbons and gems

Crafty Ribbons is a ribbon emporium, we are passionate about ribbons and want to share our fantastic ribbons with others. Our range of Christmas ribbons is second to none. Remember when we only used ribbons to add a bow to our hair, or tie up a birthday parcel ? Ribbons are now a "must-have" for all types of craft. Whether your project requires satin, sheer, silk, grosgrain, gingham or polka dot ribbon we have them all! Lots and lots of different colours in a range of widths. Need a little bit of ribbon inspiration - then have a look at our projects on our blog,or visit our Inspiration blog,or maybe join in with us at our Challenge blog. Go on, have a look... It's worth it !
