Ah yes Earth Day. Does anyone else remember the first Earth Day? It was 1970 and yes, I remember it well. It was not met with that much enthusiasm at the time - or at least that's my recollection. I remember when it was discussed it was a little bit too "granola" for some. IYKYK. Those were funny times.
Regardless, this was a head scratcher for me in that I don't keep too much extra stuff on hand. I'm on the "use it up" train. I definitely have supplies I'm trying to use up. And while I was looking through some things I found a card I'd saved because I loved the image. So the main image of the kids decorating the tree is that card front I'd saved. I used some old patterned paper for the background. That paper prompted me to see if I had any die cuts and sentiments in a box of Anna Griffin kit leftovers: I did! The sentiments were popped up with foam on some green shapes. I took that apart and sandwiched the star diecut in between. I mounted the main image on some red cardstock then used the gold german scrap trip to sparkle it up a bit. That's pretty much it.
I'd love to try to make another card for this challenge but suffice it to say my life is not completely my own - I barely got this card made LOL. But I'm gonna keep playing. Thanks for stopping by.
