Just Scraps - Challenge #6 - just scraps - many shades of yellow

Can you believe it? May already! I love the month of May - spring is finally here - though we did have snow yesterday - and in spite of our predictably unpredictable weather, there is an end in sight. Beautiful long summer days just around the corner. And my birthday is in May - right on the tail end of it! Don’t you just love parties?

Seems I was off to a good start with the challenges here at Just Scraps but the magazine challenge sent scrappers scurrying in another direction so I’ve decided to keep it simple. Just Scraps challenges will be just that:  From here on in, I’m  asking you to dip into your scrap stash each week and use just scraps - or at least a few scraps along with your good stuff. This week you have to use a little yellow.

Why yellow? Took Max to McDonald’s today. For the first time ever, he decided to do a little climbing - up the plastic tube he went. I swear I hardly took my eyes off him but next thing I hear is Max bawling frantically because he couldn’t get down. So what does a frantic Grammy do but climb up after him. Too funny! Max watches this show called The Wonder Pets. These little animals go out and rescue other animals - just like I rescued Max.  Grammy, I was informed, was just like Ming Ming, the little yellow duck. Hence the yellow.

One other change: We’re going from posting a challenge every second Sunday to EVERY Sunday. For the month of May, our prize sponsor is Paper and Piecings. Our random prize winner each week in May gets to choose three free paper piecing patterns - your choice - from Paper and Piecings.

Here’s my card - square scraps of yellow dp and an elephant cut from scraps of yellow cardstock. I took the picture before I’d quite finished the card. Stamped in the bottom corner is Hello Baby. The inside is stamped with another elephant and the sentiment Welcome.

Okay my scrappin’ friends, you have until Sunday, May 9th to leave a link to your project - card, layout, ATC, any paper project - using the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post. Mr. Linky will close on that date and we’ll have a random draw for those darling paper piecing patterns.

Have a great week and thanks so much for playing along!
