On to my project, we were asked to make something GREEN..
so for today's project, I wanted to try something new, well it's new for me, =)
I hope you enjoy it!

I made this card after I saw a Girl Scout Troop selling cookies
It reminded me of a couple of yrs ago when I was a Leader of 2 troops (9 yrs)
It was all about the recycling, "Going GREEN" and so on..
So for my card, I tried a new one I had never made before, I wanted
to make something to add some old Troop photos too, I think it turned out great..
Recipe:
Patterned paper: Old Girl Scout K&Company paper
Cardstock from scrap bin
Prima Flowers, Pearl Bling, Ribbon
Perfect Pearls "Forever GREEN"
ATG & Pop dots

On to my project, I had so many ides for this one,
we were asked to make something GREEN,  I love to recycle and
anything with being "green", but in the end, I decided to use some
of my growing scraps, so I made a very simple card, everything
used in this card, started out at sometime being part of another project,
these are things that "did not work for me" at the time, I feel this is a great way
to "stay green".  So on to my card, I really hope you like it.
Recipe:
White cardstock
Patterned Cardstock
Ribbon, pearl
Quilled Shamrock ( already made hearts from Quilling Blog Hop)
Only thing "new" I made some Green Glimmer Mist using Perfect Pearls
