December Papertreyink Blog Hop

I had not planned on playing along with this months blog hop, but I'm procrastinating and I got a last minute gift from my Sister, so I had stuff to re-use.  Why am I procrastinating you ask...the movers are starting to pack up our stuff, destination Jacksonville, FL.  To make things even funner I think I might be getting the flu, so nothing too fancy to share today.

My Sister sent me some new yummy pj's for Christmas, so I re-purposed the cardboard stuff that is in the center of them when you first buy them, and the ribbon that was wrapped around them.
Here is the cardboard stuff I was talking about (its almost like chipboard) and the satin ribbon which was so neatly tied around my new pajamas, even with a cute button.
I cut the chipboard/cardboard in strips, and then picked out some of my favorite Spellbinder dies, I cut and embossed them using my Cuttlebug.  From that piece of chipboard, look at all the tags/diecuts I now have.
My inlaws arrive on Saturday, to visit with us and to say "Goodbye" before we leave California for Florida, and this is my Mother in-laws favorite wine (they will be here through New Years), I had planned on just giving her the wine in a bag, but I grabbed my newly cut chipboard dies, stamped on them, punched a hole at the top using my Big Bite, ran the ribbon around the neck of the wine bottle, through the punched hole, then tied into a nice bow.  Since I had cut the silver string that originally held the button to the ribbon, I used the huge glue dots to attach the button to the bow.

The tag turned out great! Inspiration for what you can do with what may have otherwise been discarded. (But that is the point....right?) Feel better and safe travels.
