I reuse the picture on all cards for bookmarks.

My family uses the brown paper that comes inside of packages as filler, to wrap our presents. The giver decorates the package specially for the recipient, then it can still be recycled after it is opened.

I've heard of a great way to reduce what goes in a cake mix. Just take any cake mix and put 1 can of pop in it like mix chocolate with cherry coke or cherry Dr Pepper and cook at regular heat and regular time. Tastes great is moist and lasts forever.

I reuse the picture on the card for tags the next year.

Reuse containers and foil when possible
