April Box of the Month

When we planted our April box we stopped to help a turtle cross the road but when we picked up our April box it was missing.

I looked all over the area for it but it was nowhere to be found.  And whoever took it, took my bonus box too :(

April was a bad month for BOTM.  One box is stuck with the postal service and another box was muggled.

So, when the May box arrives I will be looking for a new hiding spot.  And I plan to leave a note at the old hiding spot to see if I can get the box back.  That probably sounds silly but I feel really bad loosing someones box :'(

Think Spring LTCs

Up in the sky butterfly by DFP

Daddy's Favorite Princess and I are participating in my "Think Spring" LTC tracker.

For DFP's cards she carved her butterfly stamp and stamped it to some paper that she found.  The paper kinda fades from blue to green.  Then she colored the image.  The stamp was supposed to have antenna but that was to hard for her so she drew them.  I have borrowed this stamp for a Gelli Plate LTC tracker due in August.

For my card I used my Gelli Plate for the background.  I put two different shades of green paint on the plate and rolled them out with the brayer roller.  I scraped some of the paint away with a fancy comb.  And then I took a toilet paper tube, dipped the end in yellow paint, and put that on the plate too.  I placed my darker green paper on and rubbed it.  I think they turned out pretty good but they are all different.

The stamp is embossed and then colored with Sharpies.  This is not at all what I had originally imaged for my card.  I was going to do some sewing on this card.  But I love playing with the Gelli Plate :)
