Celebrate

Earth Day is April 22 and I intend to celebrate fully! I am a founding member of the Olean Area Earth Day Coalition and we used to put on a huge celebration that thousands of people attended each year. Alas, we've toned it down a lot in recent years although we still hold workshops and invite the public. I've been asked to teach a workshop on "nature based crafts." It's too bad I can't use paper, ink and stamps, huh? *grin* I'm planning on clay moulding, something with naturally dyed local Alpaca wool, and maybe some re-purposed crafts (like using those old jeans and t-shirts to create something new).

I want to have a "kids" table too, and focus on homemade playdough dyed with natual substances, macaroni and dried bean collages, and making your own crayons from soy wax. Have any other ideas for me?

This card uses Becky Oehlers' adorable set, Wonderfully Whimsical. I LOVE that this particular sentiment is included! I masked the main panel and pounced Aqua Mist ink inside to make the BG for the trees. I thought about doing some distressing or inking the edges for an aged look, but decided that clean and simple was what I wanted.

Thanks for stopping by today, hope you have a GREAT Sunday!
