I'm a big fan of taking the 'cover sheet' of a 12 x 12 Collection and fussy cutting items.

Today's projects uses the Crate Paper I Love Winter Collection:

I decided to decorate my 'rescued' note card set.  For those of you that follow my blog may remember me mentioning that a gal at work recycled a bunch of 5x5 note cards/envelopes to me!  They were headed into the recycle bin because of the change in stationery.

Here's the envelope:

The Trio of Snow Peeps and the "happy winter" sentiment were fussy cut from the collection 'cover page'. 

Here's the coordinating card:

See that Christmas Tree?  Yup, it was fussy cut too!  I cut it in the shape of a tree and did some stitching to make it seem like the pieces were stitched together:)

Here's the duo together:

Can't wait to see how the challenge inspires YOU!
