Bit of a cheat on today's LSC card. The base of this card, and the coloured image are from an old TLC card, the 5-layer buttons. But it sat on my desk too long, and somewhere along the way the image panel got a hit with a mister, and ran. Yesterday I pulled the buttons off to use on my Mincemeat card. DH saw the remains on the desk, and said why didn't I just cut out the mouse and his cookie jar and put it on a new base. Why didn't I ever think of that! So, I cut him out, and for today's challenge I stamped little baubles along the top of a cream square with Versamark, and embossed with gold and silver. Coloured with gold and pewter H2Os, and added gems to the flowers. Used silver and gold Stickles on the little caps of the ornaments. Drew a cord to hold the baubles and a shelf for the jar to sit on. Distressed and sponged the edges. Since I'd used up my matching buttons yesterday, I sprayed some snowflake buttons with gold and silver paint and used them instead.

Cute and way to go with the recycling. I do that all the time. I have tons of old card samples from being a demo for 16 years and not all of look so good to me now (since my design skills have definately improved), so I often take an image or a piece from an old card and create a new one. I actually think that can be harder and more time consuming than making a card from scratch. It's kind of like remodeling a house vs. building a new one!
