Two fun challenges today. First of all, Shirley has given us a recycling challenge. My favorite kind! I have a box of "trash" just waiting to be put on a card. I decided that I needed a get well card for my stash and I thought using the sketch from SC28 and these bandaids connecting the panel back together would be fun. When I found this digi, that helped choose my "recycling". This little bouquet of flowers that I put in her hand was on a little purse that all the bridesmaids used in my brother's wedding (ok, so he'll be celebrating his 25th Anniversary next year and if that makes me a hoarder, so be it). My SIL made us each little purses made of doilies with these little flower decorations. I also tied a bow on the flower using some ribbon off the purse.
For Anna's spray, splatter, sprinkle or smoosh challenge I also stuck with the recycling theme and used an old rejected background. It was one I made by spreading distress inks on a stencil, spraying with water and smooshing onto the paper. I really hated the way it came out and just stuck it in my leftovers basket. I was amazed at how it came to life behind this little girl. And that's why I never throw anything away...

Oh, how cute. I love the recycling of the flowers from your brothers wedding. I love your background and the little band-aids holding the papers together. Thank you, for joining us for the Free 4 All challenge.

Hey. We're all hoarders! Cute card, neighbor, with those bandaids and the fun little person holding those "fresh" flowers.

So adorable. What an inspired use of the sketch to make a really pretty and spirit-lifting get well card. I had to replenish my stash of them, the flu season wiped it out totally.

Adorable get well card! Love the rip in the paper and the band-aids. The flowers fit perfectly in the girl's hands. You were saving them for just the right card. Love it all. Nicely done. TFS

Great get well card Jen, love the band aids pulling the background together and the little bouquet is so sweet! I don’t think 25 years makes you a hoarder if only because I have things in my craft room that are waaaay older than that ;)
