Recycling and Oddments

 Morning I was making a card yesterday and whilst cutting  a 5"x7"card blank I found a slimline card and a few leftover dies, a couple of recycled images off a card received, a background strip that just fitted cut off a tissue box -so more recycling,then an already stamped and matted sentiment-and die-cuts left over from another card--so--- a card made all by itself with no credit to me although I did provide the glue lol.

You should give yourself more credit Carol, it was your layout and years of expertise. Really pretty card and all the bits were such a great find.

Wonderful card! I wish my "bits and pieces" basket would serve me as well as yours does instead of just getting fuller and fuller! Thanks for sharing with us at the Paper Funday Challenge.
