Deck of Cards Match Game – Busy Bag Idea From Recycled Materials

Recently I was asked to participate in “Craft Lightning Week” with Angie from the Country Chic Cottage and Caroline from 30 Minutes Crafts. Of course I was flattered {more like honored} and instantly said yes!!!

Today is DAY 4 and all week long my new bloggy friends Angie, Caroline and I {along with some other crafty friends from around the web} have been sharing 15 minute or less Busy Bag Ideas that ANYONE can pull together on the fly {have you seen them all on my blog?}

So without further ado – here is today’s post for Craft Lightning Week on the blog. I present to you my Deck of Cards Match Game – Busy Bag Idea that is probably the simplest idea EVER and is so easy to throw in your purse for easy travel entertainment! Not to mention, a simple deck of cards from the Dollar Tree is only $1 so this is super inexpensive too!
