Stampin Dreams Blog Hop....Reduce Reuse Recycle Challenge....

 This month's challenge is Reduce Reuse Recycle.  

So.....I did just that.....I pulled out my scrap bin and my bits box (leftover bits get tossed in here regularly) and was determined to make my card using just scraps and bits. 

Here is my card: 

The leaves, deer, truck and tag were all in my bits box.  

The Early Espresso, Wild Wheat, and Basic White strip were all in my scrap bin. 

How is that for reducing scraps and recycling!

The Basic White cardstock for the card base was cut new. 

Now for the reuse part....you will notice the stitching down the side of the front panel...I reused something from my scrapbooking days many moons ago: 

It is a tool that perforates paper so you can sew with embroidery floss to create cool patterns.   

I honestly haven't touched this in at least ten years.  I thought I would take this opportunity and try it on a card. 

The only stamping I did on this card was the sentiment as everything else was pre-stamped from other projects and dumped in my bits box.

Now hop along to check out what my creative friends have to share with you:
