Thought I would give you another hint. I cut the plastic cartons on things I buy apart and save for acetate (ie. lettuce, plastic around the cricut carts, etc.)

Just recently I bought Basil in a clear plastic carton. Cut the centers out of the carton and used my Cricut E to cut out the bubbles for my last card.

Hello Earth Day and recycle, with a bonus something for my little crafting habit.

I have been doing this for YEARS. Cut them for shadow letters (clear with a little color around the edges so they will show). And I also cut out snow flakes with my sizzix or other dies and sand them a little (wow what a embellishment). Also you can cut out flowers and sand them and color them with chalk (putting the sanded/colored side down on the page). Also cut out flowers and stamp them with StazOn--whoo hoo....

I also use all kinds of scrapbook packaging for embellishments and I have re-purposed a few for mini book covers.

Oh dear, I'm such a scrap saver and recycler and "trash" keeper!
Eeek
