Birthday Card Details for ScrapThat!
I'm hosting the ScrapThat! April DT Challenge. All you need to do is include cording, fabric, thread . . . on your project. Stop by the forum for all the details and to enter your project. I'll be drawing a name to select a random winner for a package of gorgeous Prima paper, and if we get more than 10 entries I'll be selecting a second winner to receive 6 of my handcrafted twine flowers in a variety of sizes and spring colors. We only need two more entries for me to give away my special prize.
Don't forget about Amy's April Sketch Challenge. All the details can be found here.
Our ScrapThat! store can be found here. We are currently accepting new subscribers.

"Best of Days" and "Hope Is the Thing" Guest Designer for Zeus and Zoe
It's also a special day because it represents where I'm at today in my life. My roles have changed dramatically over the past couple years. I home educated for 19 years until our youngest entered our local high school for her final two years ~ she graduates next month. Our children are stepping out and creating lives of their own. Although it hasn't always been easy, I've chosen to embrace the change. No moping empty nester here. I've hand written my thoughts about this day and these changes on a tag attached to the back of my layout. The photo was taken at our daughter's wedding last October, and the butterflies represent the wings of change.
This view shows off the gorgeous lace flower. In addition to the gesso and inking, I added some sparkly seed beads to the center.
The gold cording had been woven into a lace with blue sequins. You guessed it. I pulled it apart and tied on these sweet tree charms that I altered by dabbing on brown metallic paint. The daisy stick pin was also dabbed with paint. The layered flower was created with a variety of Zeus and Zoe pieces - all but the inked paper daisy layer.
My package included this fabulous TPC Vintage Birdcage stamp set. The sentiment couldn't be more perfect to describe the enduring hope my sister has embraced on this journey to find a home. I used Truffle Mix'd Media Inx to stamp and heat emboss with clear embossing powder, then fussy cut around the image. I colored by spritzing with the Lindsy's Stamp Gang mist and a bit of distress ink on the edges. The bird and cage were also part of this set. I stamped and heat embossed these images onto watercolor paper then lightly inked over the white background and fussy cut.
Nearly all the products used on this card are from Zeus and Zoe, such a great source of gorgeous and unique products!
Here are the amazing prizes up for grabs when you link your project at the Zeus and Zoe blog. Don't forget to read the "Life as it Is Now" Challenge details and rules here.
The winner of this challenge will receive this fabulous prize package sponsored by Zeus and Zoe. As you can see it is full of amazing products from an entire set of Lindsey's Stamp Gang Magicals to flowers, buttons, stick pins, stamps and more.
