Recycled Butterfly

I'm sure you are all aware that yesterday was Earth Day. I loved that both my boys came home from school talking about recycling and keeping the Earth clean. Joshua had a doozey of a question about Green House Gases. Whatever they learned in school has made a bit of an impact on them since they both made great efforts yesterday. Joshua came in from the bus with an empty plastic container he found in the street (it was garbage day yesterday and it was windy, I think the container had blown in the street from a neighbors) and he put it in our recycling bin. Later that evening, Ryan turned off the light in his room AND in Joshua's since no one was in there (this is huge, since turning off lights is something I can't get them to do, LOL). Wednesday is the Unity Addicts Challenge and we were asked to create with something recycled. I had gobs of brown packing paper from the SU box I got yesterday (my SAB rewards arrived) sitting in front of me so I tore off a bit and ran it through my Big Shot with the Beautiful Butterfly Die.

The sentiment is from March KOTM and the butterfly stem image is from this month's kit. I'm excited about the May 1st KOTM Challenge being posted in the Unity forum on SCS. A Guest Designer spot is up for grabs for those who play. You can only play if you have the kit, so be sure to order yours today! Okay, back to the card...I finally got my hands on some Aqua Mist colors from PTI. ahhhh, such a sigh of relief I felt when I opened this color. The polka dots are some of that Jillybean Soup dp that Becky sent me. Love it! This card just makes me smile. I'm planning to lay some mulch and plant some flowers today. It is supposed to be gorgeous here this weekend. Can you say 80 degrees! Oh, yeah, high of 84 to be exact and just think two days ago it was high of 39. That's the Midwest for ya! Hugs, Lisa
