i'm super pleased to be an honorary scrap mojo girl this month. my sweet friend marie {hi hon!} asked me to sponsor their newest challenge "favorite wizard of oz quote + orange or yellow" and i was more than happy to sponsor a kR kit as well as submit my version of the challenge.
i adore when dorothy clicks her heels and says "there's no place like home". it's so true isn't it. it's the palce you are safest and the place in my case where the ones i love always are. there are no judgments here.
it actually took me a little bit but i eventually realized i wanted a sign for our mantle that tweaked the quote a bit but also had some visual representations of all of the main four characters. blue gingham for dorothy. a heart with a splash of a yellow hug for the scarecrow.
wrapped wire for the tin-man and some twine {fur} wrapped around some twigs for the lion. the box is from a vintage game that i had purchased a while ago, the contents were in an early kR kit but the boxes i always save for projects just like this. you can only get that amazing distressing when using vintage materials, it's nearly impossible to recreate with ink & sanding tools. the base of course sits on some vintage sewing thread spools, one of my go to "feet" materials.
seriously so happy & pleased with the end result as it turned out as perfect as i envisioned.
head on over and play along and you can win a great kR kit!
happy monday
