Bein' Green

Happy Summer Solstice!  

It's summer....and I'm thinking about greens: apples, grapes, grass, leaves and pine needles, olives, Kermit the Frog, mint ice cream, watermelon, beans, peas, frogs, and all those lovely leafy salad greens.

My green card for our Rainbow Connection project is finished....and I'm pretty happy with the stitched starburst design. 

I have a push punch that allows me to punch a hole in the middle of a piece of paper....it kind or works like a drill.

It comes with three punch sizes....and it worked perfectly to punch the center holes for my startbursts.

I opted to keep the border simple....just a piece of green card stock with a darker green stitch line.  I did tuck a piece of black paper between the layers so the holes would show up more.  

It's subtle....but I wanted the holes to be one of the features.

"It's not easy bein' green!"

Perfect quote for the Rainbow Connection project!

It's Not Easy Bein' Green

Kermit the Frog

It's not that easy bein' green

Having to spend each day the color of the leaves

When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow, or gold

Or something much more colorful like that

It's not easy bein' green

It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things

And people tend to pass you over cause you're

Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water

Or stars in the sky

But green's the color of spring

And green can be cool and friendly-like

And green can be big like an ocean or important

Like a mountain, or tall like a tree

When green is all there is to be

It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why

Wonder, I am green and it'll do just fine, it's beautiful

And I think it's what I want to be
