Marigold Girl Scrapbook Page

One of my all time favorite photos ! 

I submitted it for consideration as the

"Photo Of The Week" 

for our local newspaper

even though it was quite old.

It is a photo I will always cherish,

so glad to have snapped it back in the days before digital cameras !

I was thumbing through one of the many stacks of Die Cuts With A View

scrapbook paper pads I have (and have not used!) when this

paper jumped out at me, perfect for this photo.

I die cut the name out of Barely Banana card stock

from Stampin' Up! with my Cricut Create.

I NEED to get another font cartridge now

that I am using it finally! This font from the Don Juan cartridge

is going to get old, fast, ha , ha!

The marigold flowers were made by using a set

of scalloped circle dies from Cuttlebug, 

they are 4 varying sizes.

I cut them from Marigold Morning card stock.

I wrinkled and crinkled them, breaking the fibers

so I was able to tear the two layers apart, creating

a lighter paper than the thick card stock.

I then lightly inked Tangerine Tango on them.

They were stacked and glued together then smooshed 

some more, trying to replicate the look of a marigold.

The leaves were punched out of Lucky Limeade card stock

with a Martha Stewart punch.

The stems and base of the flowers were hand cut and formed.

They are quite bulky, but perfect for this photo.

The ribbon is a scrap from a grab bag I bought a long time ago

from a yard sale, no idea who the manufacturer is. 

Thanks for looking =)
