ODBD April Scrapbook Challenge

Hi Everyone!!  It's time for the April Our Daily Bread Designs Scrapbook Challenge.  Spring is here and in April we celebrate “Lawn and Garden” month. So using the "Lawn and Garden" theme, your challenge for April is to use 3 of the following items from the April “lawn and garden recipe” below on any size scrapbook page along with ODBD stamps:

*Green
*Brown
*Grass
*Flowers
*Dirt
*Butterflies
*Leaves
*Wood

You can use these recipe items in your photos, color scheme, as part of your embellishments, etc. Have fun with it! You certainly do not have to do a garden layout just use 3 items from the recipe along with ODBD stamps in any theme you wish--think Easter, Spring, etc.! Enjoy!

For my layout, I decided to go with the lawn and garden theme and used some photos of early spring trees and flowers in my neighborhood.  After I finished my layout, I realized that every item from the recipe appeared somewhere on my page. :)

I used the butterflies from the ODBD Faith  set to create my own 3-D embellishments. I stamped them on cardstock and cut out the image with the coordinating Butterfly Branch die.  After coloring the image with Prismacolor pencils, I added some stickles and a little bling and adhered the image to the page with foam tape.  Two verses from Ecclesiastes 3, found in Scripture Collection 1 ,  stamped on diecut tags completed the layout. Here's a close up of my embellishments....
