October Card Swap, all in one

Ok I said there would be something a little different this month and gave a hint through the month so hopefully you were paying attention!!!!!
I didn't post a poll because we are all going to be making a card that is recycled Ok so when you first read this you might be eh??? but think about it.....magazines, letters through the post with pretty images on or blocks of colour big enough for matting and layering, cutting out letters from bumpf posted through your doors, old ribbons from chocolate boxes, just about anything you like as long as it's original use wasn't brought by you or as a gift to you for card making, that's the only rule !!! Oh but you can use one piece of card stock if you have to for the card base but the rest has got to be from your rubbish
So let's see what all you ladies can come up with and happy rummaging

This month's partners are:-

I know Lou I thought you would like this one

I was paying attention Jan I guessed what it was going to be - I think it's a brilliant idea. Just hope I can do a good card now

What clue did she give us ????? I 've go some ideas but now got to put hem intto practise ......

Raided the waste-paper bin and found a 'load of rubbish' to make the card
I've finished it, and it will soon be on its way to you Andrea!
It tipping down so I won't get to the post office today.

Bin men have been here Oh gawd have to start hunting for rubbish

Hard one this .....

This could be too easy - it was hubbys birthday last week so I still have all his cards sitting in a pile


No I will try to be honest and do i properly.......

Found a bit of rubbish Juli, your card has just gone down to the post a mag, top of a box of crackers, and ribbon from a box of chocs

No worries Janet.... look out for a whole load of spud peeling coming in the mail first class LOL!!!
Only too happy to help of course!

Well, I'm not sure I'd have voted for this one if we'd had the option... but for better or worse (fairly sure it's worse actually) some wallpaper and a biscuit packet are on their way to you, Jasmin!
(I should have included some biscuits to soften the shock, they were lovely - almond meringue biscuits, creme-filled and chocolate-coated. I had to eat them because I needed the packet. Every cloud has a silver lining. )

Mine was posted to you yesterday Jane hope you like it

My latest Scrapbook mag is now missing pages ! cut the hanging ribbon hooks of the sweater I was wearing and raited my mates who is a non crafter had um for years button box , so Frances I shall post my effort later .
