TAWS Blog Hop & 4CCC-144 {3 R's}


WOOHOO! Did you hop here from Kim's blog? If you didn't, you might want to check out the graphic at the bottom of this post and start back at the beginning of The Alley Way Stamps Blog Hop 'cause you could WIN all three new release sets - who doesn't love free???

I've got a bit of a two-'fer because today is also the day for a brand new 4 Crafty Chicks' Challenge.  Since this is the fifth Thursday this month, it's our *extra* Crazy Egg challenge and this week we want you to keep in mind the 3 R's - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.  What does that mean for you?  Find something around the house that might have otherwise ended up in the garbage or steal an element from an old card...be creative.

For my card, I used some buttons from an old pair of shorts I found in the back of my closet - I really do need to go through and weed out clothes I don't wear or don't fit anymore.  The stamps are from the awesome new set, Good Point and I used this week's RetroSketches sketch again - I just love those rounded corner panels:
