Recycled Cards

Interested in reusing materials to recreate their purpose? So are we. A couple of months back, we began collecting our cereal boxes instead of throwing them in with the rest of the recycles here at the office. We had no idea at the time of how we would utilize them, until we began running out of thank you cards to send to our clients.
