Usually my February entry is a card made from a recycled one I received. This year I had very few suitable salvaged pieces, but I did keep two lovely images of robins, and these are the cards I made.
For the one on the left I used a new doiley die from China trimmed to suit my need, and some digital background paper from my files.
The one on the right has a new die cut frame and a recycled card base that was complete with the gold corners.
As I sorted out the mess on my desk I found a few previously cut pieces, as well as some older cards kept from previous years, so I sorted them out and tried to make a card from each one, or a from a combination of them. When I recycle cards I always make sure mine look very different from the original, and always add some form of my own crafting.
I was pleased to use up so many pieces, and ended up with a set of nine cards. (2 above plus 7 below). You should be able to click on this picture to enlarge it and see them better.
I used too many dies, stamps and papers to list but if you would like to know what any of them are, please ask.
Now I will link them up with the Februaury Rudolph Day Challenge over at Scraps of Life by Scrappy Mo, and see what everyone else has made.
