My sisters mother in law knows I made cards so she cut up cards she was given and gave me chunks of them to use on cards, some of it is really nothing I can use but I was looking at them again and thought if I cut these out right up to the images which are layered already, all I would have to do is draw in some stems.
I liked the sparkles on this paper for the background and added a couple of punched leaves to the drawn stems and I was done.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

OH what FUN! How sweet of her to do that! I love this floral Spring like card! YAY!
How sweet of your sister's MIL to give you cards. Unique idea to cut pieces up. Your card screams spring. Bring it on now that Christmas Day is over--LOL.
Get way to re-use cards and love the colors Connie.
Hugs Diane
So pretty and with it comes a hope for Spring :)
Fabulous card, love the gorgeous colours.
I am still away but borrowing grandson's laptop just to catch up.
Pretty card!Hugs!
That's a great way to re-use cards! I like that idea! The card turned out very pretty! Blessings :)
Well, I think this is darling! You know how I love colorful, whimsical images. That was a really sweet and thoughtful gesture by your sister's MIL, and you put these cute parts to good use!
Fun way to recycle cards - love those bright flowers and butterfly!
What a great idea, Connie! I love what you did with the scraps!!
beautiful card...great idea!!
i read once that a woman saved all the christmas cards she had received one christmas. the following year, she cut them down a little, mounted them on card stock, embellished them a little and mailed them back to the person who had sent it to her with her own special message!!! it was a cute message referring to recycling and also saying how much she had enjoyed the card. i always say i am going to do it and i never have!!
i have gotten so far behind...between not feeling well and spending time with my son, my schedule/routine took a noise dive!!
A fabulous upcycled card, very creative.
