Bah! Humbug!

This week's challenge at Bah! Humbug! is 'Things that fly'. Easy peasy - think angels, santa in his sleigh, birds - all easy if you have the kit or can find a digital download that does exactly what you can see in your head. Alas, that was not the case for me this week, so I am a bit embarrased by my offering...
Yes, you are right, it is indeed a recycled image from one of last year's Christmas cards.

It does meet the criteria I suppose - its got robins on, and they can fly - but it isn't exactly original.

Its just 10cm square, I've die cut the image and red mat using my nesties, added some red ribbon and layered it onto a card embossed with my swiss dots cuttlebug folder.

At least I was able to avoid buying something new, so that's one positive.

See you next week,

  1. Hi Gina - it's a beautiful image of robins and why shouldn't we recycle images in this way. I found that last year I had way too many big showy cards and was desperate for some smaller ones to send to not so close friends and relatives. This one will be a great addition to your box come Christmas time.
    It may be simple but it is lovely too.

  3. YOU? MEAN? NO WAY!
    I'm all for recycling shop bought xmas cards Gina and, in fact, have a huge boxful donated by family and friends just waiting for this useless arm to recover the strength needed for attacking them with scissors. You have created a beautiful new card with these super robins. Thank you for sharing with us at Bah! Humbug!
