Ms. Scarecrow With Squirrels

This month's image for the Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge is from Mary at Createful Hearts Designs. The image is titled Ms. Scarecrow With Squirrels and I just love the whole little scene that comes with it! I colored it with Copic markers and popped it up on some tan paper that I sponged on brown and orange Distress Inks. A couple of other papers also matted on the same tan paper and a black/orange twine tied around with a bow finished off my card! Super-easy!!! Here's my card:
Have you ever wondered what to do with these extra cards you make for challenges, etc.? I just kept them in a bin and occasionally used one to send to friends going through different things. However, last month one of the ladies posted on the Facebook page "Copic Cardmaking and Papercrafts" that she needed cards to make a basket for a silent auction that would raise money for the local elementary school. What A Great Idea! So I sent her 39 cards, which she loved! A LOT of baskets can be made with those, and I wasn't the only one that sent her cards. Anyway, always keep your eyes open for things like this where your crafting can be used for great causes! Have a wonderful day!
