Up-Cycling

Not many of you know me personally, but my family affectionately refers to me a the "Recycle Nazi". They mean no disrespect, and neither do I, but I am a bit fanatical a out recycling. I keep everything I can....almost to the extent of hoarding 'things'. One of the things I have kept...just knew I would need them some day...is the rolls from my ATG tape. Yep, the little white plastic innards! Can you find one on my card?



This card is for a swap on SCS, hosted by Jeanette, the Forest Ranger. Our theme was Rain in the Forest!


Thanks for stopping by!
HUGGZ!

Great upcycling April. I get in trouble for hoarding things too! Carol x

Cute Card April--I think that image is so cute. And, I love how you used the ATG roll inside--I just toss mine and need to come up with something new!

Fun card! That is so seriously creative up-cycling. Sweet little scene. When I first joined SCS, I did a swap with The Forest Ranger and she helped me learn to get around some on the site. She is a doll. I need to go look and see what she has been up to. Hugz!

April...I love your card! The image is perfect. Great idea for repurposing the tape spool, its so cute. Like Barb...I toss mine.

Oh my goodness!!! I see IT, April! I love it!!! I actually have considered saving those things, too, but never could seem to figure out what I would do with them, so I didn't. Now, yet again, you've inspired me!

I can't believe I actually will get one of these cards, too! YAY me!!!

Oh nice recycling! This is soooo cute! I keep the innards from my mini glue dots packaging. It's a circle like that just hard cardboard. You have given me ideas! :)
