  In the garden: you are sweet

Gecko Galz Victorian spring icons

Heart brad by Eyelet Outlet

Washi tape   

Distress inks

Tim Holtz ideo-logy word stickers

Instructions: The postcard and boot are from the Gecko Galz Victorian spring icons collection and I arranged them together digitally before printing.  Once I printed the combined images, I cut the postcard and affixed it on cardstock with Scor-tape.  I distressed around the edges with distress inks. I cut out an image (the woman) from the In the Garden collage sheet and added her to the postcard.  The postage at the top right hand corner is washi tape.  I added the heart brad and the words last.

We asked Michele the following question

If you had magic powers what 3 things would you do to advance the Crafting/scrapbooking Movement?

1)      Everyone gets a craft room!

2)      Everyone gets all arty play time they need!

3)      And most importantly I would make everyone know that they are creative and that their work is beautiful so don’t be afraid to put it out there
