Flower Garden: Scraptales Mega Meet Layout

Here is another layout that I created using some Fabulous papers from Scraptales. They are very "Heathery"..the colors are just PERFECT!

I decided I would take some photos of some of the flowers I purchase yesterday. My mother and I went out on our annual "spring flower shopping trip, to get flowers for our gardens." I can remember as a little girl going with my mother to all the local greenhouses. I would scoop up all the flower pieces that had fallen off the flowers. My favorite flower was the Fushia. I would pick these up, and pretend they were fancy earrings.

Lucky for me, I found an awesome sketch over at

Stuck on Us Sketches. Here it is below...

Isn't this just a beautiful sketch. This is my first time playing there...I have wanted to for a while...and when I saw this sketch...I knew it would go well with my papers from Scraptales.

Here is my take on the challenge.

I used my new butterfly dies by Ranger in my Big Shot Expression. I also used some Dusty Attic dragonflies and a butterfly.

Above you can see one of the dragonflies. I painted it cream, then covered the center with perfect pearls in Gold, and the wings were painted red, spritzed with Red Perfect Pearls, and then covered with UTEE.

I used the new Ranger ATC die cut with photo corners...for my journaling spot.

I used vintage photo on all my pp's and did distress them all with my distrezz tool. I used gold embossing powder.

I also used vintage photo on all my photos, to tone down the color.

A few more close ups.

I also cut out some butterflies with my Silhouette SD. I used a photo of my flowers, and used a butterfly file from the Sillhouette Online store.

This is the bottom right side of the page. One last look at the finished page.

Thank you for visiting!

Hugs!

Scraptales: Mega Meet Layout

Linda gave me some Fabulous papers from

Scraptales to create a few layouts for the Mega Meet in Michigan starting on Wednesday.

The colors of these paper were so soft and relaxing. They fit perfect for the challenge of Week #60 Sweet Dreams at The Shabby Tea Room.

I even used the Sketch from Dusty Attic for inspiration!

Here is the April Sketch

I flipped the sketch horizontally. I did make it my own..but I am pretty sure you can see the sketch in my layout.

This photo of my boys in their blow up canoe (yard sale...thanks Jessica), goes so well with this paper. The title reads: Looking for the Siren. Which is perfect...since it looks like my older son is looking down at the mermaid.

Here are some close ups.

The fantastic Shell with the sunset image in it and the Music sheet and Guardian of the sea images...are all from

Karen the Graphics Fairy.

The fabulous Dusty Attic piece to the left was painted, shaded and highlighted to look like a spray of water. I gave it a coat of perfect pearls mist by Ranger in Turquoise. I got the DA piece from my

BFF's Store. She knows I love LOVE love Dusty Attic.

All the stars, bubbles, lettering and graphic fairy images and my photo were cut out by my Silhouette (using the print and cut feature). The bubbles are all hand painted, and I added some perfect pearls in a light blue color to the mermaids scales. All pp and pieces were distressed with my Distrez tool.
