May Day challenge: My Mind's Eye

First of all, don't forget to leave a comment----go here to be entered for my RAK giveaway!!!
I am trying to do as many challenges as I can this month so bear with me:) 

I found this challenge over at My Mind's Eye---you can interpret the "May Day" theme any way you like.  To me, May says spring, and what is my signal that Spring is here (FINALLY?)?  Daffodils.  So that's what I decided to scrap. 

Before I show you my layout, I gotta say, I am pretty proud of myself.  Sometimes, I fall completely in love with a new collection.  However, sometimes that collection is not "me".  That was the case with Find Your Wings and Fly and Sky's the Limit collections from My Mind's eye. Although lately I have been into plainer backgrounds, I loved this page and how much was going on on it before I attached one thing!

This is how my layout turned out:

I got to dye a doily!  I got to rip and shred and layer!

Here you can see that I used some real vintage music.  What you CAN'T see is that the song is actually about rain!  I did lots of crumpling and distressing.  I also had to use a quote from one of my favorite poets, Robert Frost:  "Nature's first green is gold..."  (Anyone remember The Outsiders?)  I also added some clear bubble stickers to simulate dew.

I popped this adorable saying and added some flags and a little bird from my jewelry crafting supplies. 

 Even though this was not my typical layout, I really enjoyed stepping into the "uncomfortable zone" and I was surprised how much I liked the result. 

I will be linking up with My Mind's Eye today!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
