Poinsettias, - But Not On A Card

 What do you do when your poinsettia from last Christmas still only have green leaves?
I think the plant is too beautiful to be thrown away.
So I helped it a little.
With some poinsettia dies (mine are from Spellbinders),
I made a couple of flowers/red leaves.
The tiny flowers in the middle are still missing.
Perhaps I will just add a little gold glitter.

Bursdagskort med papirrester

 Jeg hører til dem som liker å lage noe av "ingenting".
Vi scrappere kjenner godt til at restepapiret hoper seg opp, - hele tiden.
Denne uken tok jeg for meg restekassen. Det ble en del småblomster
og andre kjekke die-cuts utav den økten.
Så her er "gamle skatter" blitt til nye skatter.

Til dette kortet brukte jeg:
Mønsterpapir: The Paper Boutique (også en rest),
Dies: Papirdesign (Teksplate), Elizabet Design (Curvy Leaves),
Punch: EK Succes (liten blomst).

Stickles, Stabilo penner, Distress inks.
Bursdagshilsen skrevet på data.

A Little Note book

 Here is my latest recycling project.
My husband and I bought some garden chairs,
and the tags on them were too good to throw away.
So I made some mini note books. Here is the first one.

At first I gessoed the outside of the tag to hide the print and the photo on it.
The paper for the cover is a freebie from Beccy.
For the inside and the sheets to write on, I used coffee stained paper.
Flower punch: EK Success, Leaf die: Elizabeth Design. (Scraps)
For the closure I made a hole on the front and tied a piece of cotton yarn.

And here is the tag for the chair:
