Sue, that is so cute. It would look beautiful on a dining table.

Too cute, Sue!

I used a piece of canvas, the stencil that Donna Downey uses in some of her classes, I don't know it it is specific to her or not, and Pan pastels plus a few rubons and a quote.

This was fun. I am loving the pan pastels.

That's lovely, Debbie. I still have to learn how to use the pan pastels I got for Christmas.

Looking really good!!!

Here's mine. This started out simply as a demo at the crop I went to a couple weeks ago, when one of the ladies asked me what was so special about Distress (GASP!!! ). I used the spritz & flick technique on the tag, and decided it would make a good base for this, so I added in some old blackboard flowers with matching dies cuts (Cosmo Cricket I think), matted a sticker from the TH seasonal sticker set, put some metal foil lace left over from another TH tag on the top, and topped it off with a smarty-pants saying and some baker's twine on the top. Finished it up at home because I needed to find the perfect ribbon to go with it.

Very pretty Monica! I like that saying too!

Nice to see some more entries. Mine is finished but we are without Internet so I can't post a photo yet. Hopefully we will get it back soon-it's been at least 10 days now

This month is going so fast I wanted to get this posted before it runs out.
The tryptich base was in one of the RR boxes, I think.

The nest is baker's twine and there is some in the little packet. The handle of the watering can is metal.
