This year I took a somewhat different tack than usual. Rather than relying on the wealth of supplies I've accumulated over the years, I decided to try using as many 'old' cards as I could -- recycling them into 'new' cards by cutting and pasting and decorating them.
Some were easier to use than others -- nice, tight little designs that lent themselves to being reused, sometimes even in combination with bits from other cards.The results, if I do say so, were pretty good, with a few I almost hate to send away.
And I'll admit, because I even tried to use cards from specific people to make 'new' cards that will go to them this year, it'll be interesting to see whether any of them notice their 'old' card coming back to them with happy holiday greetings.

I am looking forward to my card. I think I have a collection of the cards you have made. Thank you.
Greetings from Chester, UK. Good luck to you with your card making from recycling. Blessings. Love love, Andrew.
It's not only fun to re-make cards, it appears to evoke responses from across the globe (and yes, JV, I'm just trying to decide which card you'll get this year).
