Some Earth Day Cards
I made this card for Debbie's go green and Cathrine's embrace nature challenges. I did a crayon rub over lemon leaves (mmmm it smelled like lemons) and then stamped over that with justjohanna Shrubbery and added leaf ribbon and justjohanna thank you sentiment.
I went a little out there for the Kim's challenges. For Kim H's paper or plastic challenge I cut out the tomato and butterfly from a grocery bag. For Kim S's newspaper challenge, I stamped justjohanna lacy border on a newspaper ad for cars and cut it out for the border.

A Very Sweet Gift
I've been dying to share pictures of my birthday gift from Kim for a while now. Kim is such a talented artist and a really sweet friend. I love my gift. First up is an adorable altered composition notebook. It has the most delicious cupcake on the from. Yum is right. I'm on a campaign to convince Kim to write a book on collage. She is the master.
Kim is an amazing solderer (is that a word?) She makes the most gorgeous pendants and other creations using lead-free solder. I love my Paris pendant. I was so excited when I unwrapped it. She somehow found a picture of my beloved chocolate lab. On the back is a sweet strawberry on French text. Sorry about my awful, blurry pictures. I don't think my macro setting is very good. Thanks again Kim. Have a great day everyone.

I used justjohanna Cupcake Row for the centers of the felt flowers and the clouds. I finished it off with rat tail stems, Prima leaves, DCWV light blue paper and felt flowers from the craft store dollar bin.
