Hi peeps - gorgeous weather again - hope it is where you are too. Had a fabulous day out yesterday with my 8-year old Granddaughter - we did the "ladies who lunch" bit, and lots of shopping for all things pink and sparkly (sadly, not for me)!! Then onto the climbing frames, metal tunnelly-slidey contraptions, and all things impossible for Grandmas to swing from (but the ice cream was fab.)!
*****
So - back to the plot! I'm so excited to be sharing my first DT card today, for Moving Along With The Times, and as April 22nd is Earth Day, the challenge this week is to use something Recycled on your project.
Do pop along to see what gorgeous creations the DT have come up with, and join in the fun!
******
Our lovely sponsor this week is Lady Bug Crafts Ink, and the prize is one stamp of the winner's choice.
My recycled bits and pieces are:- Kraft wrapping paper from some packaging, a remnant of gingham from something I made several years ago, and two pieces torn from a VERY old dictionary which I have had since my school days (told you it was VERY old)!! If you enlarge the photo, you will just about see the wording.
Here's the dictionary - I would never destroy a book, but this is beyond redemption - it is genuinely "distressed"!!

The beautiful image is "What's Cookin''" from Mo Manning.
Other items used - Copics, MS border punch, circular sentiment from Papermania (a freebie), layered onto a Kraft and gingham flower made with the smallest die from Tim Holtz Tattered Florals. Some machine stitching and paper pricking to finish, and a Tiny sentiment from a KandCo stamp set in the top corner.

I'm glad you had a great time shopping and lunching, Sylvia. Didn't you indulge in anything pink and sparkly, I am surprised, lol!!!!
Your card is gorgeous, what a great image and your old dictionary has definitely been brought back to life again.
I hope you both have a very Happy Easter. Enjoy the sunshine.
Hugs Lisax
So cute! The ginham fabric and stitching really add a lot to this. Happy Easter!
I'm with you here - can't really bring myself to destroy a book. But this is more so "saving" and it looks fab on the card - along with your beutiful colouring!
Hugs

Okay How'd I miss this fabulous creation? I'm sorry because it's fabulous Sylvia, love Mo Manning's images but you've made a beautiful card. Many congratulations on your DT position, very well deserved, big hugs:0) xxx
Sylvia this card is so pretty and I especially like how nothing detracts from the lovely image. Using old dictionary pages relevant to the theme is such a clever idea! Good recycling! Congrats on DT news, hugs to you, Ellie Maggie x
