Recycled


A woman who is part of our Hope Stampers** group has been bringing old, unused cards that she collected from her mother-in-law's place (she passed away) and we have been having fun using the cards. We transform them by cropping them or using punches to crop part of the original card... and wah-lah! New cards emerge to use for our ministry!
-
This one is a basic layering of cardstock and then the scene from the other card. Then I just added a "no-tie" bow and it turned out pretty and cute! (Jaimie, Michaelle said that she couldn't believe that you had not taught us the "no-tie" bow yet at Stampers 10!!! Ha ha!!!)
-
Anyway... I think it is a great idea to recycle these cards for new life and shaing Jesus' love.

**Hope Stampers is a group of stampers who make cards to use in our caring ministry at church. We make the cards and then another group uses them to send out to those in need of contact this way. I am hoping that if there is not already a group like this at my new church in South Carolina that, perhaps, I could start one there.
