365 Cards Day #54- Recycled Elements

I was really excited when I saw that today's challenge on 365 cards was to use recycled elements. I wanted to do something different than what I had already done so I decided to do something I had seen before. I used an old acetate box that some really long cards came in. I cut it down to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I decorated the outside to coordinate with the inside. I would have made all 6 cards with Bellas but its really hard to stamp her because I still dont have a large acrylic block... So, I used my BRAND NEW CUTTLEBUG!!!! and cut some ribbons and also embossed the pink strips. I only had a small piece of pink sheer ribbon left so I made a little purse handle for the box to finish it. I also paper pieced Bellas dress on the front with the same patterned paper as the cards. Here is my creation:



I also forgot to post yesterday that my youngest ds and I made this "Go Diego, Go" piggy bank out of an old Juicy Juicy container to celebrate Earth Day yesterday (my computer was acting CRAZY yesterday!)
