Clear It Out Pastel Scraps Challenge

Okay so I am a bit late posting this (Sorry) But in case you haven't heard, I am on the design team at the Clear It Out challenge blog.  Our Current Challenge is to use up your pastel papers & the theme is Easter.  I don't celebrate Easter, but they are okay with anyone interpreting this challenge their own way (Because they know many of us don't celebrate the same holidays).  We were sponsored by

A Day For Daisies

If you haven't seen her artwork, you are in for a treat. Tammy is an amazing artist, she has generously offered  our winner a

 $12 gift card (equals  3 digital images)

So here is my card: 

Yes it is a digi card, so I guess I cheated a bit since i didn't use up any of my actual paper stash (Which I do have tons of).  But I did use actual paper to print the little fairy & colored her with my copic markers. 
The Challenge runs until Monday April 2nd, So why don't you join us?
I can't wait to see what you come up with!

So here is both sides of my take 12 layout :

I saw many layouts on the Flickr group that detailed their life right now or even that day, and it inspired me to go back & be more detailed in my journaling.  The close up shows the Original journaling &  I know the picture is too small here is what it says:

Ryan stayed home sick today.  His rash has almost cleared up, but he’s been running a low grade fever since Saturday evening.  He didn’t take his medicine, so he drove me crazy all afternoon, 
Pat came to clean our house today!  I am so glad I have help.  My house looks about a hundred times better than it used to, because I am no longer desperately overwhelmed.  So project organization continues.
Spring is coming!  My crocus are blooming & the Daffodills are starting to come up.  I may even need to water the grass soon.  Also, when I picked up the mail, a birdie was singing to me! 
Hobbes has gotten into my pajama drawer again.  I don’t know why, but he likes to pull a corner of it open, dig out some stuff & then climb inside!
 I’ve been rereading the little house books.  I had forgotten how much I loved them. 
Ryan was really happy that I made ravioli for supper. 
Also tried so hard but could not find an iPad case that I liked, so I got a clear one & decorated it myself. 



Some of these pictures are pretty little on the page so I wanted to share some bigger versions of a couple.

After Hobbes has gotten in my drawer this is what I find.

My newly Decorated iPad case

Do you see the birdie?
