My latest layout:
This month's Seriously Creative Challenge is a great one, and easy, too:
Create a "clean" project or one that cleans out your stash, and link up by May 6 to be in our draw for a fabulous prize! I'm happy to say that aside from the white cardstock base, everything on my layout is a scrap! The pink paper used on the butterflies is probably 8 or 9 years old - scary, huh? Here are some more details:
The butterflies were great fun! I used a Martha Stewart punch given to me by my scrappy friend Alison, layered 3 butterflies of different colours and just attached them to each other with a bit of skinny Sook Wang tape. I was planning to use the pink twine for all of the bodies, but ran out, so I dug further into my stash for some yellow fibers. They kind of look like furry caterpillar bodies, I think! Another close-up:
I used this fabulous sketch from Stuck?! Sketches:
Flipped 90 degrees and doctored up a bit. And I'm also going to enter this page over at S.W.A.T. - one of their challenges is to dig deep into your stash! What an awesome way to do some Spring Cleaning!!!

Well hello there Ms Roxy! I was so excited to see your entry! Miss you! Glad to see you're still scrapping. I looked at the butterflies and thought "they look like they were made with that old Martha Stewart punch I had". LOL! then I read your post (blushing). :)
