3 Challenges / 1 Card Pretty Much an EARTH DAY THING

My card was Distressed by the Tim Holtz tool, Cosmo Cricket for the Sentiment & Chipboard Acorn,
Best Occasions for the Chipboard Tree, Color Box Copper for the Aged effect, an Old Button & some Hemp Cord for the Bow, all for an 'Earth Day Effect' using    Brown Green & White.
Esty Inspired    http://etsyinspired.blogspot.com/   This week's featured Etsy shop is sure to make you smile! Bee Things is filled with fabulous limited edition silkscreen prints. You pick the colors and enjoy the visit. I used the "Bags" Kraft, Green, White

KL Stampin N Scrappin  http://klstampinnscrappin.blogspot.com/2010/04/kl-sns-challenge-27-earth-colors.html  Challenge is to use Earth Colors, Browns, Greens, White, Earth Day Inspired
and the DT has some really fun cards.

Challenge is to use one earth or nature related embellishment, Earth Day Inspired. The DT team here has som cute cards & the shopping experience is fun.

I will no doubt use my card for my Brother, he works for the Soil Conservation Office and is ALWAYS outside.  His love for nature,(animals & the land), preserving it, offering helps and ideas to people who care to preserve what we have makes me so proud. He kinda  uses the way "it use to be" to enjoy the beauty, lifestyle, and obtains some quiet serenity in the process. 
We all take too much for granted and are in too big of a hurry to enjoy the "Little Things".  
 The Rising and Setting of the Sun should be a part of our enjoyment in this life.
Thanks for stopping by my blogspot. Take  "TIME"

What a great manly card Sylvia! I don't do these very well (or very often) but your woodsy feel and embellishments are perfect for your brother. Thanks for joining us at DCRU this week!
