April Scrapstasher's Projects

As promised...here is a look at our most recent Stasher's projects. I want to thank everyone who attended our April Scrapstasher's Meetings! It was truly amazing to see our "plaine jane" terra cotta pots transformed into wonderful Garden Art! The project this month was a perfect solution to using up all of our paper scraps and learning just how fun and simple it is to create with unexpected items like torn book pages, music papers, fabric and other found treasures. Stashers this month also learned how to create some fantastic flowers out of their paper scraps. Here are pictures my creations and some that were created by Stasher friends!
