Upcycled Christmas scene

I saved this lovely little manger scene off a card I received and have recycled/upcycled it into a card using this week's Sweet Sketch Wednesday. The blue and yellow layers are snippets, and the stars are stickers.

The card is for these challenges:
Sweet Sketch Wednesday #98
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge #298 -- use yellow
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra -- anything Cheistmas
CRAFT Challenge #381 -- Christmas
Word Art Wednesday #248 -- anything goes

    This is very nice and perfect way to use that sketch. I chuckled about the "upcycling" because when did recycling become UPcycling? Now then do we sometimes downcycle (take something used and make something lousy with it)?
