Ribbon thanks card

Good morning friends/bloggers, yes it's Saturday once again. Just can't believe how quickly the weekend appears !       Here is another 'Less is More' card where the theme  this week is.............      

"A RECIPE

for you

Use a recycled item!

It can be anything, card, ribbon, paper, metal...

 anything that has been used before!"

Hmm could be a tricky one this.But then I looked at all

 the many bits I hoard constantly and no it seems it 

isn't a problem after all !!!

I found a piece of  card which had been discarded

because it had marks on it. It was the top piece of

card from a pack but it had embossed bits like long

fingers all across it grrrr!

So I cut off the marked piece and used it as my base

card. Then I found another off cut and ran it through

my ribbler for texture.

I looked through my discarded 'stuff' pile(s), oh the

 shame, how have I accumulated so much! Anyway

I found lots of treasures there.

I found an old tag which was a receipt from some

chiffon and waste silk I had bought ages ago.Oh my

still not made the collages with it either !

It was just a white paper one with writing on so couldn't

use that BUT attached to it are the most beautiful

velvet  crinkly ribbons........result !

How had I not used them before!!!!! Anyway I

quickly cut a few pieces from them and tied them to my

recycled tag.

The sentiment is a new die ( Paper Smooches) I must admit
 (note to self) STOP BUYING NEW STUFF ! But I
 found an old discarded card front which hadn't
 printed properly.

I loved the colours and thought they mostly matched

 the ribbons so I used the die cut with that piece.

I found a few old sequins and some old gems and

they completed my card.

Sorry for the long post again, just wanted to explain

which items I had recycled. Just look at the card

if you don't want to read all this lol.

ps.My computer is running so slowly atm., I must

sort and delete 'stuff'. Sorry if I am late commenting

but it's hard when it takes me so long.

Enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned.

Our DIL's parents are over here from Taiwan so

we will be busy having days out with them. If I

go awol that is why :)
