bloom where you are planted

I have a layout to share with you but need to apologize for the lousy lighting on it. We haven't seen the sun in a couple days and I could wait no longer to post this.

I used the sketch over at Lasting Memories for my inspiration.  Papers and mini stickers are by Echo Park "summer days" and the larger stickers are by October Afternoon.

Enjoy!

sweet ~ funnest birthday ever!

Nope it's not my birthday!

 I have a card and a layout to share with you today. First is a card that I made for the challenge over at Twisted Sketches.

The image I used is a digital from Sassy Cheryl's the best part about it is that no coloring is required. I bought it that way.

My layout below is for a new sketch challenge blog called Lasting Memories and the challenge for this week was to do a layout with bows and buttons.

I had bought a Tim Holtz flourish mask and wanted to try it out with my glimmer mist so decided this would be the perfect opportunity. I started out by laying the mask on my white card stock and then spraying two different blue and a green glimmer mist. Then I removed the mask and added my photo, I attached some handmade wrinkle ribbon and then added a bow to each row. It didn't seem complete so I added some dogwood flowers with buttons, some butterflies that I had punched out of white cardstock after I sprayed it with more of the glimmer mist and then I added some black flourishes for tails.

 Hope you enjoy!
