April SPRING FLING Challenge by Sarah

Design Team Member Sarah submitted this layout for the April SPRING FLING Challenge. She said:

For my 2nd project this month, I decided to go with more SPRING than FLING. 
I Scrapbooked our March 31st trip to The Log Farm Sugar Bush near us and the YUMMY Maple Candy. 
It got unusually warm, unusually early here this year... which was nice but unfortunately not good for Maple Syrup production. This year was more about the nice stroll in the sun at the farm and less about watching the Maple Syrup workings, because there was none to see, they were all done by then.  
For the FLING part I used some trash: 
The base is a corrugated cardboard backing that came with a pack of papers. Sprayed it down and dribbled (ahhh... more FLING!) Glimmer Mist on it, then peeled some of the top layer off in long strip and around all the edges. Then I sprayed it again, a LOT. 
The pictures are all sanded around the edges with the rougher side of an emery board. Did this quick and hard to get a really roughed up look. 
The strip down the middle is ripped Bazzill, edges inked in dirty yellow... As in a dirty ink pad I save for just this kinda thing. Waste-Not-Want-Not!
Then I finger painted Tan paint across the strip so the rub-on letters from Daisy D would *pop*. 
The FAMILY was a white outline only, I filled it in quickly with a fat Sharpie. 
SWEET tag is a leftover form a Me&My Big Ideas 'Baby Boy' embellishment kit.

  1. Great layout Sarah, love all the flinging and the recycling, or should that be upcycling of stuff. We don't have maple syrup farms in Scotland but it does look like a delicious lot of fun to visit one.
