Earth Day...

 Hello lovely crafters. 

Here is a card for the Jingle Belles - Challenge Earth Day. Remember the rules - 

Reduce what you buy, Reuse what you have and Recycle as much as you can. 


Send me your top tips for remembering challenges now we don't get the email reminders! I finally remembered to enter this one. 

So the challenge is to use at least on thing which is recycled or repurposed. 

What I've used - parts of a shiny, green envelope, a gold envelope and strips from a biscuit box. I found all of these in my stash.


Starting with a not-very-successful gelli print, I used the shiny green for the trees, gold for the hill and the star and some gold splatters. Then I wanted a frame and found the shiny gold box which was perfect. 
It's not overtly Christmassy but sometimes I want that for certain people. 

I'm also popping over to the NBUS challenge as this is the first outing for the trees. Now, I've remembered I've got them I have other plans for them. 

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x

  2. Excellent example of recycling, reusing, and upcycling, Alison! I love the end result and can't wait to see your future tree makes. I made a tab on my blog with a list of challenges and links and I just click away to see what's happening. (You can pop over and use my tab if you don't feel like adding one.) Also there are Paper Playful and Challenges for Days which list even more. Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
