Challenge #11 Gardens & Bugs

Today's challenge is from the fabulous JoAnn (sarahzoe on SCS):

June is all about ~Getting Buggy~. Since it’s the first bug challenge, I thought I’d do the obvious…gardens and bugs. One of the most beautiful things to see in my garden, early in the morning, is the sparkle of a dew kissed spider web. Nature at it’s finest. I tried to reflect the sparkle in my sample.

The challenge: to create a card combining flowers and bugs…that’s all. It’s an easy one for a Monday morning.

ONE MAN'S TRASH IS ANOTHER MAN'S TREASURE

We've all heard the phrase "one man's trash is another man's treasure". When I think of this phrase, I cannot help but think of my boyfriend Joe. Not that he is trash mind you...but because his ex-wife thought the "grass was greener" and threw away their 12 year marriage. While I feel bad that Joe was put in this situation, I am grateful for his ex's indiscretion and for creating the opportunity for Joe and I to meet. Her "trash" is now my "treasure".

My challenge for you today is to make a treasure out of trash. Start with a card you've already made...you know, one that you never really liked or one that was maybe missing something so it's in a scrap pile (I have a bunch of these cards). If you don't have an old card, use scraps and start from there. Now, re-work your trashy card, snazz it up, show it some love, give it attention...brownie points if you make it a thank you card. When you're finished, send this little treasure out to someone speical in your life.
