Hi Everyone.....I have a bunch of cards that we have recieved over the last 3 years. Like Christmas, birthdays, anniversary, and all the holiday. Do you believe I have kept them.( I don't even save coupons) I think the reason is that I got a Longaberger basket that I did not know what to use it for so I have just thrown all the cards in it. I hate to throw it away and was wondering if anyone has any ideas what to do with them. I NEVER save anything and it is now getting too full to even move. I do not scrap book, but I thought mabey someone may have done a project with them. Thanks for any ideas!!!! If not I guess they are off to the recycle bin.......at least I can save tree!!

Hugg to all,

Jenn

I would make something from them, like recycle it for xmas.
I used last years wrapping paper to make cards. Maybe you can do something along those lines to reuse them.

When I was growing up, my mom saved all the Christmas cards. We would spend an afternoon going through the ones from the year before to cut tags. We would take the front of the cards and cut shapes around nice looking parts and then write the To/From on the blank backside and tape it to gifts. We usually had more than we needed, but it was fun - an afternoon by the tree, with hot chocolate, making tags : ) Great project for kids!

You could do the same thing with birthday or other occasion cards and use them as gift tags for other times of the year.

Just an idea,
