Countdown to Christmas.... 18 more sleeps!

The usual dilemma for most people... what do I do with all these cards? (the ones that you received over the Christmas / New Year holidays)

Options:

* MAKE SURE THEY GET RECYCLED INTO SOMETHING NEW
Visit the festive recycling website by PlanetArk for ideas.

* KEEP THEM (memories...)
In a box with anything else you want to keep from that occasion.
In a scrapbook of that years special stuff.

* ART & CRAFT
Cut out any pictures from the front of cards and use for scrap booking, art projects,
kids to play with, create mobiles...

* HANDMADE TREE DECORATIONS
Cut out any nice designs, stick another piece of card on the back along with some hanging
ribbon. You could even add sequins or glitter for that extra bit of festive sparkle!

* RE-USE, RE-CLAIM
Glue pretty paper on the inside of old cards to cover previous writing......
and send them again. (hmmm, back to the person who sent it to you the year before??)

So there you go!
If it is recyclable, please set the example to others by recycling where you can.
Leave me your comment about other ways you can use old greeting cards (and links to projects).
