Christmas Card Club - "Upcycle"

Good morning all.
The wedding production line is now in full flow, hopefully everything will be cut by the end of today for the daytime invites and I can start putting them together tomorrow. Only need three dozen daytime invites which isn't too onerous but they are quite intricate. The 100 evening invites will take a bit more doing though!!

It's time for our next challenge over at the Christmas Card Club, it was Maureen's turn to choose the theme this time and she's asked us to "Upcycle".  Here is my card:


Topper has been made with the front of a gift tag, paper is from My Mind's Eye. Snowflake has been cut from some waste kraft card and the back of the gift tag. Bow is made from the ribbon off the gift tag. Dies are all Spellbinders.


You'll find the rest of the girls listed on my sidebar if you'd like to pop over and see their creations.

Challenges entered:
CHNC Extra - anything goes
Creative Fingers - anything goes with ribbon
Sister Act Card Challenge - anything goes
Crafty Ribbons - anything goes with ribbon
Delightful Challenges - holiday spirit
Little Miss Muffet - we wish you a Merry Christmas
Moving along with the Times - anything goes
Southern Girls - song inspired (Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer)
Digistamps4Joy - recycled + a snowflake
