Recycle--red twill band came off the blanket that my son got at his youth group Christmas gift exchange
Reuse--My large pearl at the center is one that the adhesive had come off of and was sitting in the pile of scraps--added a glue dot and it was back in working order
Reduce--I reduced the amount of wasted paper by cutting the center out of my large Choc. Chip layer
and using it to mount my main image panel. I know alot of people do this all the time but to be honest this is my first time--I think I will do this again--saves me money too and thant means more stamps!!
I used the I WISH simple scrappin set from Stampin Up to create my card. The main image panel was sponges with Mellow Moss ink all around the edges. Don't you just love this Christmas ribbon from Stampin Up!?? It is so pretty and it ties up so nicely. My sentimen was stamped in CHoc. CHip and accented with mini pearls.

Wow, Deb, this is gorgeous and a GREAT suggestion to cut out the center of the panels to use for a different layer. I see you figured out the watermark process (forgot to ask you on Saturday). Great job on the challenge!!

Beautiful, Deb! Way to recycle, reuse, and reduce! I really had a DUH! moment when I read your description about cutting out the matted cs behind an image. Thanks for that tip!!!
