Thank you cards from scraps!


Talk about recycling!  I had left over strips of lovely papers from my recycled envelope book, and I CAN'T THROW ANYTHING AWAY!  (How many of us are like that?!)  But, what to do with them?  I came up with these cards to send to my surgeon and his office and surgical center staff to thank them for the wonderful care I received recently.  The left and right flowers are made from scraps of ribbon, and the center flower was cut from my Cricut.  It is also leftover from the envelope project!  I embossed the words "Thank You" with my Cuttlebug, and matted them on cardstock.  Simple and elegant, and I used up those precious leftovers!
