Money doesn't have to be boring! Each week, CreditBloggers.com takes a look at the lighter side of the personal finance world in a series called Funny Money Friday.

Cutting up a credit card is one of the great symbolic acts in modern times. Whether you are cutting up offers you've received in the mail, old expired cards or cards that you've paid off and don't want to use any more, there is something really powerful about taking scissors to your plastic. Just remember not to close those old accounts after you cut them up in order to avoid credit score damage.

Here are some creative ways to destroy your credit cards starting with "A":

 Art - This couple saves their names off old credit cards and keeps them in a small jar.

Happy Friday!
