Recycled Ribbon.

Sorry I've been AWOL from posting - it's been quite a busy few days so although have found some time to visit blogland, have had no time to actually post!
Am currently waiting for some glue/paint and other mess (LOL) to dry so popped on for a quick share.
 Used more paper from the Papermania pad which was still on the desk from the last 'teddy' card.
Another LOTV square which I 'enhanced' (LOL) with some Distress Inks and matted onto red card.
The Picket Fence die and the Heart Banner die were little 'treats' to myself a couple of weeks ago and I used plain white card for them both.
The ribbon is recycled. A friend bought me a Christmas plant basket and this ribbon was tied to the handle - she said - 'I know you'll use it on a card' so couldn't disappoint her could I????
Some twine, a couple of pearls and a stamped sentiment with the off cuts from the banner and the inside decorated to match.
This is another for the 'Viv's Stash/Pink Box'.
Challenges -
613 - Anything (option- recycle)
Ribbon Girl - Anything LOTV
2 Sisters - Teddy Bears
Susy-Bee's - Anything Goes
Crafty Catz - Animals
Mema's - Anything Goes

Hope your weather wherever you are is as sunny and bright as it is here! Have a great day and thanks for visiting. x

You make the best use of product, Viv! This is such a sweet scene and the plaid and all the many details of the banner, tag, fence, and bow are just superb!! I won't be on much myself for the next several days with spring cleaning, company, and Easter, so Happy Easter to you, if I don't see you again before then!! Hugs, Darnell

Viv, this card just captured my eye and I think it might be memories I have of picnics in the mountains where on occasion we would see a bear and cubs (no joking) You never know what might walk by in the Mountains of North Carolina (my home). In Texas its a different breed of animals, so I love your card. Thanks for sharing with us at Mema's Crafts.
