Life's A Jungle

Paper of Plastic!?!  My biggest problem is remembering to put my re-usable fabric bags in my car and take them into the store - I'm forever buying more - my challenge is to remember my BAGS!!!!

This card is from the Sketch Challenge last week over at Splitcoaststampers.com - it also covers the Ways To Use It Challenge.  The Ways To Use It Challenge was fun - you had to put a spice on your card - I used Parsley for the grass.

This little gator is from the Stamp of the Month Set that Close To My Heart puts out every month - isn't he the cutest. But ... did you notice he's having a little problem?!? He has that dumb old plastic bag from the grocery store stuck around his middle ... poor little gator!!! Stamps: Close To My Heart Life's A Jungle, Stampin' Up! Cheesecloth Background   Paper: Watercolor, Black, Stampin' Up! Wasabi Ink: Black, Versamark Accessories: Plastic Bag, Stampin' Up! Ribbon, Cuttlebug, Bronze Embossing Powder, Zig Zag Scissors, Stampin' Up! Watercolor Crayons, Misc. Brads, Bo Bunny Brads, Circle Punch, Spellbinder Oval & Scallop Template

There is a little symbolism here that I would like to mention just incase you missed it.  The Cheesecloth embossing represents the web that's been created by the inhabitants of the earth - our throw away lifestyle.  The zig zag scissor cutting represents the many points that can be made in favor of trying to keep our planet healthy.  The gator represents the innocent animals that our suffering due to our ignorance.  The plastic bag represents the danger that we put the earth and animals in when we add them to our throw away trash... the little green leaves represents the HOPE that we can create.  "Life's A Jungle" - sort of says it all.
