……filled with hope and promise for change!
That is what is in my house which just happens to qualify for two different challenges this week. Dans ma maison il y a…..ce que vous voulez , “anything you wish” (open theme) and Creative Wednesday, “houses”. I created this spread in my house shaped altered book.
I used pieces of a blueberry oatmeal box that had great designs on it. Sanding colored cardboard lightly helps add interest, along with some inks rubbed on the edges.
I used vellum leaf printed paper, scrapbook papers and words cut from an election door hanger too.

I love this one Patty, and what a nice way to commemorate the event. Also loved the idea of using a cereal box to start and the butterfly is a great way to rethink Change. I’m thinking that word needs to be capitalized now.

Patty, this is a beautiful tribute to something you believe strongly in. The artwork is really superb, and to think it started as a cereal box. With transparency, honesty, and fairness for all (and that includes us retirees) we can have a change for the better. At least that is my hope. It will be exciting to have children in the White House again.
