Speaking of our walk I found a treasure while on one earlier this year!!! I spotted something colorful on the sidewalk several yards in front of us. Once we were upon it I discovered a perfect length of bright pink and white gingham ribbon that had been rained on all night. A tiny squeal of delight thinking "I can use this, I can use this, I can't leave this here" ~HA!! I brought it home, gave it a wash and knew it would one day have a use. So today I have a bright spring card using a snippet of my little treasure that I'll enter into the CR84FN challenge.
I just love the way this card turned out. Orange is usually a tough color for me but I finally decided to embrace it and let it shine! I punched both sides of a paper strip from BasicGrey: Out of Print using an EK Success scalloped punch. These cute boots are from a 12 x12 sheet of Autumn Leaves paper I've had forever. It's full of colorful boots so I fussy cut two orange ones. The top one is popped up with foam tape then I added two bright pink do dads to bling them up. This pretty scrolled sentiment is by DeNami Designs and my tiny butterflies were made with a Martha Stewart punch. And of course my little treasure of ribbon and a fun chunky button.
That's all for me friends, errands to run. Have a delightful day ~Lisa

Very nice use of that salvaged ribbon! ;-) Such a delightful card. I think the way you've embraced the orange here is so pretty. I'm not much on orange, myself, but I really like this card. So nice job! You always add the perfect little details to your cards. Love it. ;-)
(I find myself looking around for things I can salvage - junk mail, kids' things they no longer want, packages, etc. It's fun when I actually find a use for them!)

Trying to post a comment again, it said there was a conflict! I was saying that I love your recycled ribbon! It was meant to be because your card is gorgeous in those happy colors!
