Carla challenged us to use items we would normally discard to create with today. I used the mesh bag that held my avocados to fashion a trellis and I literally picked my popsicle stick out of the garbage, twice!! DH discarded if off the counter after I had washed it and left it to dry)!! Thanks so much for getting us thinking how to turn trash to treasure, Carla.

I just had to see this card that hit the favs of the week list twice. Such a cool idea to use the mesh as a trellis and I love the die cuts you used to climb up the trellis. Love the hearts too and the embossed patterns and the lovely sentiment on the popsicle stick. I must say I often use discard items in my cards, and have a drawer full of things, but I've been away last week and haven't had time to do this challenge.
