Paper Players 41

Today is the start of a brand new journey for me.  I was asked to be the April Guest Designer at the Paper Players challenge blog, and since I love to participate in their challenges, I jumped at the chance!  Today, is my first challenge and the theme is recycling.

A lot of things came to mind when I saw this challenge.  I could use the oodles of ribbon that I have scoffed from various places but then you, the blog reader, would not be able to tell that these ribbons have been recycled.  I could use the buttons that I have collected over the years from blouses and pants and such, but that wasn't really calling to me either.  Then I suddenly was fixated on a particular item that almost anyone would recognized as recycled and re-purposed.  A beer bottle cap!  And many thanks to my nephew, who courageously offered to drink a few beers so that I could have the bottle caps!

I don't have the heart to tell him that I only ended up using one bottle cap!  But I have the others that he gave me in my stash to use later.  I also managed to squeeze in the MOJO sketch for this card.  The other day, I tried to make a card using this sketch and ended up veering so far off the sketch course, the I didn't link it to the challenge.  This one is a better version, I think.

Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to head on over to the Paper Players and recycle something!  We'd love to see what you do!
