EARTH DAY

click here  If the Shoe Fits.....SCRAP IT!
Go on over to  "If the Shoe Fits....SCRAP IT!  Great weekly challenges!  This weeks challenge is focusing on "Earth Day"!   I created the Eco-friendly scrapbook page by collecting greens, grasses, sticks and moss from my garden.  What a fun way to celebrate "Earth Day".  Many of these items collected can be preserved by using silica gel found at local craft stores.  You can put the silica gel in a container (air tight) and lay your flowers, leaves, greens,etc. in the gel for a few days or more and VOILA!!!.......A beautifully preserved piece of nature that can be added to a floral arrangement, scrapbook page, or anything your imagination can come up with!  The photo in this layout was taken two years ago.  I found robins in my Rhododendron and I had easy access to get a photo since the nest was eye level.  Perfect photo for this earth friendly layout!  BTW, the most expensive piece on this layout is the "Dusty Attic" attitude piece!  I basically did this one for a few bucks! Wee!
ENJOY YOUR (Earth) DAY!
