Our challenge at 365 Cards today is to use recycled elements on our cards (or other creations). My card base comes from paper that a local business was going to trash. Well, after looking at it and seeing that it already EVEN had the sentiment on it....HOW COULD I LET IT GO IN THE TRASH?! It also has a beautiful sheen to it. So....I used it for my card. The sentiment is on the top left corner. (click on the photo to make it larger so you can read it). My tree is made from the cardboard backing on a lined notebook pad. I go around the office stealing them from my co-workers (shhh!). The 'leaves' are from the classified ads from last week's local newspaper and punched with the Martha Stewart heart punch. Kept it simple today. Thanks for stopping by!!

Now how could they toss this paper?!!! So glad you recused it and found a GREAT way to use it :-) Bubbles are still working great (thank dh for me) and a HUGE thank you for the tip on todays challenge at 365 :-)
I'm not sure why I never thought of using newspaper before, but I'm glad I did today, and yours looks great too! Another AUsome creation!
Peace and Luv,

I love it, I am always dragging paper from the recycle bin at work. At first my co-workers thought I was nuts. But now they ask me if I want it before it gets tossed.. I am glad I'm not the only one out there. Again great card.
FABulous job on today's challenge Diana...you crack me up...I got funny looks from people in my department the other day because they were going to recycle an envelope but it had the neatest design as the privacy liner dealio...I asked for it..you'll probably see it next week in a card :)
What a great recycling project, love your funky tree
hugs

That paper is far too nice to throw away, I bet it was a treasure to rescue.
Great card and great thinking
