Happy Monday, peeps! Hope you had a great weekend! I have an uber-quick card today, made for the Jingle Belles challenge of "Let There Be Peace"....for Earth Day, we are to recycle something on our card! I have been saving this card front from a Christmas card I received a long time ago, and thought it would be fun to use it to create a new one! No stamping on the front, just the inside, but I did add some glimmer paper snowflakes:
The snowmen look a little blurry because they're totally glitter-covered! In real life, they look amazing, and that's why I couldn't bear to part with it. I trimmed it down and mounted it on a Cherry Cobbler card base, then added the snowflakes in the corners:
I added a Very Vanilla mat on the inside, stamped with a checkerboard strip and country-style sentiment, both of which are from an old Market Street stamp set called Country Christmas, which has been discontinued, sadly:
I managed to get a picture of Cassidy as she was joining church yesterday...not a good picture, but one nonetheless! Then she was off to a soccer game! (They won again!)
Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
Such a great Christmas card that you recycled, LeAnne! The inside Is just as cute as the out! Congrats to Miss Cassidy on joining your church! She is growing up so fast!

Super cute - what a great way to recycle an old card for new! I'm behind with my Christmas cards so your card today has served as a reminder to get back on it!
