Joy to the Earth!

I haven't forgotten my personal pledge to play along in all the jingle belles challenges this year - but being away for the month of March got me so far behind I can see my own rear end! Instead of trying to catch up with the ones I missed now (with Mother's Day breathing down my neck, lol) I figured I would jump back in with the current challenge & work on catching up over the summer. SO, here's my card using a recycled greeting card & some scavenged ribbon from some pajamas! My hubby knows that's my favourite gift - and he even knows to choose the one with pretty ribbon tied around it if he can't decide. What a guy :)


Supplies: recycled card front & ribbon; gold mirror paper; corsage pin & beads


I bent the end of the pin so that I could tuck it into the cardinal panel & tape it to the back to keep the sharp part covered. The birds were even pre-glittered!

xoxo,
Jessi

    Beautiful Christmas card. I have never seen the red cardinals. But if they are half a beautiful as this, they make my list! Keep smiling and creating,my friend.

    What a pretty card! And so earth day friendly. I keep saying I need to get a higher quality of friend, who sends me Christmas cards worthy of recycling like this and not dollar store rejects. LOL! Or could it be that most of the cards I get are homemade?

    what a beautiful "save" from last year's xmas cards AND pajamas, lol! and you've used them both to perfection--what a gorgeous card. thanks for joining our earth day fun at JINGLE BELLES! ♥

    ps: very clever to forget about catching up and just leap back in... i mean, these are all "extra" cards in a sense; every one you get done before december is a BONUS!!! :)
