HAPPY THOUGHTS

HI everyone, I havnt posted in a week as Picassa has been playing up and I havnt been able to load anything up!!
Anyway, this is my latest layout, using a sketch from Scrap That for my inspiration.

So this is what I did.

First I chose my papers and embellies.

Then I matted my photos, and distressed the edges of the mats.

Next I cut down my pretty paper to 11x11 inches.

I adhered this to my background cardstock.

I added a doily, which I matted.

I added  my matted photos.

I then made a scalloped border using a scallop edged ruler.

I added this and a couple more border strips.

I made two butterflies and beaded pins for the bodies.

I made lots of flowers using mulberry paper.

I made a little bird using a Martha Stewart clay kit.

I started to decorate with my flowers etc.

I then die cut some swirls and added these.

I die cut some branches and added these.

I added my butterflies, a tag with the date, fibres and pearl string.

I then made a little split in the top, curled the edges back and added a piece of doily, a cameo and a little flower.

I then added a sticker title and some blue ric rak.

I hope you like it and give it a go.
