Alright trash to treasure friends- a family friend who is a doctor is getting rid of an old x-Ray film light box. I jumped on it because I’m a medical junkie and thought it’s like a strong light box, right?!
So, anybody have any fun crafty ideas?

Worked on my cards today (well, one of them I did a few days back, and it's been hanging around, but I made the other five today). Here are the first three.
Fish uses a plant cut from the notecard, the fish cut from one of the stamps, a piece of beach house paper as the background and the "f" and "s" came from the little bag o scraps. I added the I and H from my own stash.
Flamingo uses the tissue box as a background, the flamingo and the words mega (from the candy box) and sun (from the raisins). I added the two girls riding the flamingo and the letters f-u-n.
"Go ahead Steampunk (make my day)" uses the brick wall die cut, some bits cut from the steampunk playing card, the gears are from the bag o scraps and the Betty Boop. I added the letters. I actually was debating not sending this card in because I really like it But that's not the point, is it!
Three more to come shortly.

And here are the other three
Life's an adventure uses the envelope as a background, the tree branch is cut from some paper, I think from the bag o bits, the cat and bird both came from the stamps, the red strip is from the border of the love birds note sheet and the die cut and the life's an adventure ribbon are from the bag o bits
Thrive uses beach house paper as a background, the plants are cut from the notecard, the butterflies are from the butterfly origami paper, the die cut is from the bag o scraps and the word thrive is from the scrabble calendar page.
And finally, Tree features the envelope (the other side) as a background, the tree trunk is cut from the beach house paper and the leaves are from the butterfly notecard. The lovebirds are from the lovebird note pad and the word tree is from the scrabble page.
These will be on the way to you this week!
