Carla is hosting the Ways To Use It challenge here on Splitcoast today, and she came up with a fun challenge: Trash to Treasure. My "trash" is a piece of heavy, coated paper cut from a gorgeous shopping bag from Crabtree & Evelyn which I have been hanging onto forever, just waiting for the right time to use some of the pieces that I had cut up from this bag! TFL and hope you can play along
