Re-cycling Christmas Cards!!

Last Christmas our sweet friend Shell, her hubby and her bunny kids from The Raspberry Rabbits sent me the cutest Christmas postcard ~


As you can see, she has used some of her felt and the picture is of Hannah and Hawwwingtwon.


Only thing is, I just got it a few days ago because it had fallen down behind the little pine trees in the front of my house right under my mailbox.  As I was raking winter debris from around the trees a few days ago, I found Shell's card!!

Well, I wanted to keep it and I didn't want to just put it away in a drawer, so I attempted some of Shell's Folk Art Fusion stitching around the kids and the tree and made a little pincushion that I can keep out on my cutting table all the time!!


Thanks, Shell, I needed a new pincushion!!  You can see more of Shell's postcards HERE

How funny that it spent the winter in your yard amidst the evergreens. Well, I guess it was preserved by our deep freeze winter.
I LOVE what you have done with it, Kris. Very clever!!

I would have never found it since I try to stay away from yard work .
The pin cushion is so cute.
