Recycled Shopping Bag!

This week I made a card using the card sketch CPS85 from Card Positioning Systems. And I also made it fun by using a shopping bag that I received at the hairdresser. I even used the handle!

Here is the bag:



And here is the card:


I used the black and white pattern on the outside for the background on the card (turned it upside down so you couldn't tell that it is a cursive B). Inside the bag is a great orange design that I stamped on. Of course the orange and black reminded me of Halloween, so I used my Autumn Treats stamp set from Clear Artistic Stamps.

Have you ever considered recycling something made of paper into a card? Try it--it's fun!

Great idea- nice tip to turn something upside down. I never would have known if you hadn't said it came from a bag
