Here is what I have pulled out of my stash to use today.
A plain red & green papers plus a matching/ toning paper from the same pack.
(Pack by Hot off the Press came free in a magazine)
Plain and fancy circle dies, corners( a waste product from a die cut )
plain white card stock and fancy blank card.
The numbers and month were cut and saved from an old calendar before it was discarded last yr.
Here is the completed card.

Hello, Mrs A! Thanks so much for your lovely comments on my blog! You asked about the background to the bunny on one of my cards - it is indeed a die-cut, made with a Spellbinders Deckled Rectangles die (S4-202)
I am really enjoying your 'frugal' cards, what a great idea of Nessa's! I love this interactive card!!

Hi Mrs. A, Thanks so much for stopping by and saying hello to my new blog. Love your take on the Christmas that aren't traditional. Plus you are building a nice stash of cards already for the holidays. I'm just not there yet, have to do Halloween first. Come visit again.
