Here is my triple submission! I usually do not combine so many challenges but since our family is so busy this week, I did. The layout is Mojo Monday, colors are Pals Paper Arts, and the recycling theme is Paper Players! Nance Leedy had this great idea about incorporating beer holders in to the cards, so I dug through my husbands stash and found one that could be used. They usually have real neat artwork and it was fun using something a little different. This card is a birthday card for my cousin David, so I needed a masculine card. I think it turned out great. The sunburst is a large scallop that I punched the scallops using the candle flame part in the cupcake punch. Mary Fish did a similar technique with the star punch. Enjoy!

The images you've chosen are so neat. They really complement the vintage look of your card.
