Tell me how you found me, win a set of cards

From now until the end of March I have decided to run a small contest. Between today and March 31st, all you have to do is comment anywhere on my blog, and make sure you tell me how you found me here. On March 31st I will collect all the posts and randomly draw one of them to win a set of five handmade greeting cards. I can surprise you with the designs, or you can place a request for colors and themes. So easy and so much fun!

Make sure to include your email address, so I can email the winner!

Thanks and have a great March!

My first Upcycled card

This is my first small attempt at an upcycled card. I love the idea of upcycled products, and plan to continue learning more and more ways to do them.

I got a present from a friend that was wrapped in this bright and fun flip-flop design wrapping paper. I wish I had taken a picture of the gifts before I opened them. She is the absolute best at gift-wrapping (an art I have not mastered- most people think I let the kids wrap our gifts!). I was in no hurry to open the gifts because the package itself was so darn adorable!

So I got an idea for her thank you card: I cut out some of the flip-flops, put them on cardboard (that would have otherwise gone in the recycle bin) that I cut in the same shape, used 3D mounting squares, and hand printed thank you at the bottom.

So it was handmade, upcycled, and personalized in a way.
