Water Bottle Announcement - Going Green Blog Tour (and a What NOT to do!)

Well, today is my final idea for going green and it uses a water bottle (who would ever have thought we would BUY WATER!)

I took the my Tiny Tag punch and punched lots of tags in Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery and Barely Banana cardstock.
These little tags also look like bably bottles!
I then made this little scroll....
Which when opened is actaully a baby announcement.
Put the scroll and baby bottles in the bottle, attach the cap and wrap a piece of paper stamped with Circle Circus around the bottle and address.... Viola... a totally unique way to mail your announcements (would be great for save the dates, parties, girls night outs... whatever you want to get their attention for!)  Yes, you can actually mail in these!  A friend of mine, Cathy, sent me one for valentines.
Thanks so much for joining me the last three days on this tour!  I hope you had a great time.....

Oh, I almost forgot the WHAT NOT TO DO!

Well, I was making some fabric flower pins for a conference I am going on with my Upline Janet, and did a boo boo!

I accidentally put the plastic shim that comes with the premium crease pad for the Big Shot under the clear cutting pad instead of on top of it... well the result was this:
So, instead of throwing the flowers away, I decided to texture them with the Finial Press Texture Folder and put them on a card. 
What do you think?  They are actually kinda pretty! I had to turn it into a creative opportunity, but PLEASE don't do this!  You will be sad :(
