Bundle of Joy

  Hi,

I am back with another Re-cycle, Re-use, Re-purpose theme project today.  My re-cycle item is a ribbon used to wrap baby gift I receive more than twenty years ago.  I knew someday I'd use it.  Today is that day.


My card features the adorable animals from the Baby Keepsake set from Art Impressions, our sponsor for September.  The challenge prize is $25 gift card to their store.


I'd love to see what you'd come up with for this month's challenge theme.  Remember to tell us what is the Re-cycle, Re-use, Re-purpose element on your project, and use die cut and/or dry embossing to quality.  If you're not familiar with the rules, please review it by clicking the Contest Rules button on the top.  


Happy crafting!!
