Your 'Recycled' Challenge cards

Good Morning Ladies,

It's our favourite day of the week again, you have all made some amazing cards that I can't wait to share with you....

Janet

Oh my goodness,  Janet has created 3 amazing cards, using a variety of Recycled items.  So much work has gone into each one of these cards.

Janet's Description:

"My first card this week is made by reusing the main die cut (Tonic die)which is off a card I made early last year which I spoiled. The backing paper is one from Phill Martin 'Beautiful Brushstrokes'.

My second card is made using part of a page from a knitting mag I've had for years. The decoupage is LABLANCHE.

My last card this week is made using a pattern again from an old mag but this time it's using beads to create the pattern.The paper flowers and bows are from my stash. This would suit anyone who enjoys doing small pieces of work."

Thank you so much Janet for 3 amazing Challenge cards, I love all of them XXX

Sonia

Wow Sonia, your Challenge card looks so Classy! That chocolate box is gorgeous!

Sonia's Description:

"Here’s my challenge card.
Have to admit I was a bit out of my comfort zone 😂 I’ve also sent a photo of the chocolate box outer layer which I used to create my card. I used one of the side panels as a stencil in the corners of the card. I applied an inked panel behind the main cut out design. Added the pierced flags and LOTV sentiment."

Thank you so much Sonia, your card is stunning, I can't help but hold on to lovely packaging, but I do worry that Im turning into my Nan, who hsd cupboards full of margarine tubs and biscuit boxes! XXX

Sue

Love you card Sue, you have done some amazing Recycling too!!
Sue's Description:
". I used an old folder divider for the green layer and the yellow is kitchen towel that I coloured using Scattered straw and Stormy sky DO’s. The rose die is an old magazine freebie."

Sue, using Kitchen roll was a bloomin genius idea, I love how your card turned out, hopefully this amazing card will bring your 'mojo' racing back!  Thank you so much for taking part XXX

Karen

I love this card that Karen has made for this week's 'Recycled' Challenge, everything works together perfectly, it looks like everything was meant to go together like a 'kit' almost! 

Karen's Description:

"Here’s my cc,

As I’ve had a clear out of my sewing bag I have used an old tape measure I found a background of a doll pattern on a MCS CD-ROM and Tracy’d it up a bit with Hickory Smoke DO and Versafine Clair Nocturne to stamp a Lisa Horton border stamp that looked like a zip to me I can’t remember where the die is from It contains lots of sewing items like scissors needles thimble etc 

I think I like it I’m not sure"

Thanks so much for such a lovely card Karen XXX

Michele 

Michele has made an absolutely adorable card for this week's Challenge, I'm pretty sure this is a Penny Black stamp/image, I have a few Wood mounted stamps featuring this gorgeous hedgehog.

Michele's Description:

"My card for this weeks challenge-it’s more a repurposed one than recycled. The topper was on a birthday card I was sent over 15 years ago & I finally decided to repurpose it."

Thank you so much for such an adorable card Michele XXX

Lilian 

Lilian has used some Recycled music paper to create the background for her Challenge card, sadly Lilian's I pad has been playing up this past week so she has been unable to comment,  so frustrating,  especially now, when any form of communication is welcomed.

Lilian's Description:

"Used music paper from a 1930ties book, with inappropriate lyrics for for today’s world.

Stamping up stamp, sorry can’t remember the name.
Blue in using blue pen."

Thank you so much for taking part in this week's Challenge Lilian,  I am intrigued to know what song your music sheet featured. Take care my lovely and I  hope that you are back commenting this week xxx

 Maria

Maria created two fantastic cards for our  'Recycled' Challenge this week.

Both of Maria's cards were made from Toppers from Old cards.

The first card features that fantastic 'Happy Birthday' die cut, which Maria has used as the central focal point and closure for the card, I particularly love all of those tiny bottles that Maria must have fussy cut! 

Maria's second card.... another Recycled topper, absolutely hilarious, I think most of us have fantastic Husbands that just get jobs done, but there are definitely Men out there that this card represents perfectly!! I do love a card that makes you smile, we NEED smiles right now! 

Thank you so much my lovely for two fantastic Challenge cards. I hope you are up to getting out for a walk today XXX

********

Thank you so much Ladies,  your cards are amazing,  you really do amaze me EVERY week!

I know that we are all struggling right now, whether it's from the extra pressure from work or from being isolated and the extended weeks of restrictions makes things seem even harder.

I hope that having the Blog will give you a tiny bit of comfort,  it certainly helps me,  I love hearing about your day, what you have been up to or any news that you have to share. So I want to thank you for taking time to comment every day, I sure I'm not the only one that loves reading them.

Please take care my friends, I hope you have a relaxed Sunday.

Love & Hugs to Every one of you,

Sandra
