Nature Walk

I really love that the girls like to go out and play even without any toys!  We splashed and gathered flowers and rocks and had the best time!
I used a tree template that I had made from some Maya Road chipboard trees to make these clouds.  Traced them, turned them on their side and cut them in 1/2!  Easy Peasy! I used only one sheet of the green paper to create my border and used another template i'd previously made for the cloudy shape. I make templates from everything so I can use them again later.  I trace onto the cardboard that comes with page protectors and on cereal boxes (thinner are better).  Then I have the fancy shapes for free!
I didn't have a raindrop punch but realized that quotation marks looked like rain to me so I used them instead! I also had to create some of my letters for my title.  The funniest one is the K I made from an H.  Gotta get the most use out of those thickers! What do you do to save money on scrap supplies or to make them stretch?
