Using Freebies x

The mid month card challenge over at Scrapology is to make a card using freebies which would other wise sit around gathering dust!
As I don't tend to buy magazines which include free papers or stamps I turned my attention to other freebies that I have trouble throwing away & store ready to be the finishing touch to a page or project.

Firstly a card using clothing tags & a stamped sentiment.

This card was made using the spare buttons that you find inside clothing, sewn into place with contrasting thread. I'll add a sentiment when I come to send it as it would be great for an anniversary, engagement...

I hope you like these examples, hop on over to our blog to see many other freebies in use & details of the prize on offer x
