Challenge #9

It is my turn to host Challenge #9 for our blog group. The challenge will run from today through July 4. The entries will be posted July 5 along with a poll to select the winner.


My challenge is to alter designer paper used to make the background. I am posting before and after cards to clarify my challenge.

The first card  is a brand new neighborhood not to far from where the gnomes live and everyone has just moved in. The second card is the same street many years later. The local municipality paved a road, erected streetlights and installed a fire hydrant. The residents planted trees, flowers and scrubs. It was a lovely neighborhood until it was decided to build an airport not too far away. 


At least the sun is still shining.
