Less is More sketch - With Gratitude

Hello!

It's a good day, because for the first time in what seems like forever, I've found time to enter not one, but two challenges!

The challenge over at Less is More this week is a fantastic sketch! I am super excited about this one as I see lots of opportunity for using up some of that fab patterned paper in my scrap bin to make some quick and simple cards. You will be seeing more of this sketch for sure!

I would also like to share this over at Cupcake where the challenge is to recycle something and use it on your card. This one is easy for me since I do this often. I love using ribbons, twine or tags from packaging over again on my cards - reduce, reuse, recycle! In this case, I reused the raffia from a gift. I am the geek that folds up all the reusable bits of tissue paper and gift wrap when everyone else is ripping open their presents! lol - they all laugh at me, but we all benefit in the end now don't we?

I am also the geek who composts and recycles almost everything in sight. I am currently on the lookout for the red worms that you can use for indoor winter composting. My two outdoor composters are very FULL and I don't relish walking out to it when it's -35, though I've done it several times - it's worth the effort since we put out way less garbage when we get really serious about the composting. Not to mention the benefit to our garden - you should have seen the jungle growing out there last summer! Ahh, well, I think I am rambling now...

I hope you are having a great week!

Shanna :)
