Scrap our Stash in April ...

Playing along with the  Scrap our Stash April challenge.  I love a good Tic Tac Toe!

I used the diagonal of striped patterned paper, several butterflies and 2 photos.

Also adding this second layout for the April challenge for a friend, Sharon Bishop who currently has computer issues.

I went with the line striped pp (long stems running down the page), Butterfly (hand stitched) and 2+ photos.

All about the roses ...

 Playing along with the February sketch challenge at Rochelle Spears which also combines with the tic tac toe challenge at Scrap with Stacy.

I used the 2 photo/hearts/wood from the tic tac toe and followed the sketch basically as is to document some beautiful roses I received for Valentine's Day.

I really enjoyed putting this page together.  Hope you can join in too.

Using a line or word from this poem ...

"Thank You" by Ross Gay.

If you find yourself half naked

and barefoot in the frosty grass, hearing,

again, the earth's great, sonorous moan that says

you are the air of the now and gone, that says

all you love will turn to dust,

and will meet you there, do not

raise your fist. Do not raise

your small voice against it. And do not

take cover. Instead, curl your toes

into the grass, watch the cloud

ascending from your lips. Walk

through the garden's dormant splendor.

Say only, thank you.

Thank you.

I used Thank You.

OWT#3

What's in the bickie tin for March ...

 Welcome to our March challenge on What's in the bickie tin?

This month our criteria is ...

Colour - Green.  Use as little or as much as you like.

Add a Circle

Use some Ink

I decided this could be a great opportunity to use up a lot of little scraps of green paper I had in my stash and proceeded to punch circles to create my page and used a number of small embellishments to add some interest.  My background is distress ink and a stencil which I think is rather effective.

Hope you will find some time to join in with us this month.
