Another layout from my March kit...

Just a quick post to share the page that I made using Shimelle's Sketch 12 and my March kit:

 Love the papers-Maggie Holmes, Pebbles, Amy Tangerine...and I added some of my new Heidi Swapp Color Shine mist, a Tim Holtz mask, some Want 2 Scrap pearls, a Basic Grey Canvas tag, pink chevron washi tape, a flocked Doodlebug brad, a heart from the Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm set fit in the fussy cut camera perfectly, and I put a coating of Glossy Accents over it to make a "lens".
Here is a closer look at the embellishments:

Thanks for looking-I always love to know what you think!

True Beauty

Today's project was a labor of love, a layout that I created for my oldest daughter. I am using a few current challenges that I wanted to play along with, and my "Hearts And Flowers" kit from February. I followed along with the sketch for this month from Artful Delight:

And played along with Tim Holtz's Tattered Florals challenge:

To be honest, I was a little intimidated by this contest-I have so many great ideas for projects swirling around in my brain, and the projects that have already been submitted are AH-MAZING! But, scrapbooking is what I love and do the most craft-wise, and the time is drawing down to enter. So, I cut some flowers out of paper scraps with this die (I am happy to report it worked quite well in my Cuttlebug with 2 "B" plates), and inked them up with Tattered Rose and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks, and scrunched and shaped them with my fingers.

 

I am also entering this layout in this week's Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Easter/Spring, since the photo was taken in the spring, and nothing says "spring" to me more than flowers!

 

Here is what my finished layout looks like:

 

Supplies used: Basic Grey, Doodlebug, Graphic 45, DCWV,and My Mind's Eye patterned paper, bling by ZVA and Want 2 Scrap, Basic Grey letter stickers and Butterfly sticker, Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die, Tumbled Glass and Tattered Rose Distress Ink and Ranger ink blending tool and pads, MME brad, and Mr. Huey's mist.
