Cindy here! It always amazes me what other people throw out. I'm sure it's the crafter in me, but I have a tendency to look at 'garbage' much differently than my non-crafty friends do.
Here is a gift box and card I made recently. I used four items that many people would throw away. Can you guess what they are?
The box once held Girl Scout cookies....
... and I used a pill container, empty roll of tape and a drinking straw for the stamping.

Here's a gift bag I made using the empty tape roll, the straw and one more item:
The third (orange) stamp was an old sponge dauber. You know what they say: one man's trash is another man's treasure. Why spend money on circle stamps when these are free and just as cute?!
Here's a sympathy card I made. Check out the 'patterned paper' on it.
It's actually the inside of security envelopes! Thanks to Pamela #8040 for the inspiration!
From trash (well, recycling actually) to treasure!
