Thanks (Reuse/Upcycle)

Wednesday, April 22, 2026
Happy Earth Day! And happy birthday to my younger brother as well!

The talented Brenda is hosting our challenge at Little Red Wagon this week and she's chosen "Happy Earth Day!" as her inspiration. She's looking for projects with reused or upcycled goods. 


I recently received a package from L'Occitane en Provence (love their stuff!). My products came wrapped in some interestingly-cut kraft paper. As soon as I saw it, I knew it would be perfect for this challenge. I added it behind a scalloped frame from Pretty Pink Posh and used a generic die for flowers and a Your Next Stamp die for the "thanks" sentiment. 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the rest of the reused and upcycled goods turned into lovely creations! We'd love for you to join us too!

You have quite an eye for found treasure, Kate. Your card is beautifully designed, I love the extra texture the packaging adds.
