I also finished a card for the jinglebelles current challenge. Go green and Go Earth Day! This week was to use recyclable, reusable items. I took newspaper and colored it with alcohol inks by Tim Holtz and the snowflake tape is by him also. I sewed on the card and used some chipboard thickers and old BG tag I had laying about. I used a Martha Stewart snowflake punch on the newspaper. It turned out so neat. Finally I feel back into the card zone.
I'm trying to plan out my other totally free day! I'm thinking some more art and thrifting might be in order. Tonight is a night out with hubby. We're going to go to our fav Indian restaurant. Thanks for stopping by!

fabulous card - what a concept, real newspaper (not designer paper that looks like newspaper) ♥ i really love all the texture and design you've incorporated, someday i'd like to have half your artistic eye! so glad you're back into the card zone :)
i think for the forseeable future whenever you use the words "free day" and/or "thrifting", i will have to smother a little sob over the "lost trip" to FL!!! waaaaahhhhhh!!! ok, ok, i'm "manning up" over here!!! :)
HOORAY for gina cards! i think i love your xmas cards most of all, but actually you've never made one that i didn't a)LOVE and b)kind of want to sit right down and make one EXACTLY like it!!! this one is definitely no exception to the rule, what a brilliant design AND great use of re-cycled/up-cycled items! you rock, missus, there is no denying, and earth day + xmas most of all!
ps: AWESOME dog bed! and seriously? most of them don't have "slip covers"??! are ya kidding me??!?!?! i think youshould sell those on etsy, i bet they'd sell out in like 5 minutes!!! :)
Great doggy bed! Do they come in human size?
Your card is also super; I thought about using my old dictionary, but it did not occur to me to use newspaper. Fun!
Did you say Indian food ... I'll be right over ... love those texty snowflakes ... absolutely fabulous. So glad you joined our jingle belles fun.
Whoa! Love all the pieces and parts to your card. *SO* much layery goodness to take in, but you make it all look so effortless and beyond fabulous.
busy girl you are!! love your card and all the sewing :)
That is a wonderful way to put all those recyclable items to use. Newspaper never looked so good!
Great dog bed cover, you are right, why do the bought ones never come with a removable cover? Is this a new business idea for you???
Your card certainly worked with the recycling. I love the newspaper and the sewing on it and how it all goes together.
When you find a turquoise tulip let me know, I would love one
