This is for Carla's first challenge hosting the WT Thursday challenge. She wanted us to use something retrieved from our trash..I used an old Twinnings tea bag wrapper (Spiced Chai in case anyone is interested). I crumbled it up and used the shiny inside to die cut my chevron. I think this will be a birthday card for my BIL..I'll figure out some connection and write it inside..something about losing one's mind or getting used to the idea of turning such an old age! HA!

Outstanding card, Polly. Fabulous image and sentiment, and I can imagine the fun sentiments that could be thought up for the inside, LOL! I love the juxtaposition of the vintage images and the bright, neon cardstocks you used!

OR "kind of like an old body". Just speaking for myself, ya know
This is just so cool - I love the way you put image and papers together on this. That image is perfect with your sentiment!

What a fun card, Polly, and your ideas for the inside are perfect. Your BIL will love it! Your chevron is great from your tea bag wrapper and love the sentiment. Great recycling.

Another great card Polly! Your teabag chevron is great recycling. The figure really pops with the fantastic bg and layout. You nailed Trash to Treasure, thanks for playing in my challenge.
