YAY! Gorgeous LO - I just did one for the roses I got for Valentine's - so glad I'm not the only one to take pics of my flowers (my boyfriend thought I was crazy! LOL)!!
Such a great LO I thought I would be a dork ~ a LO like this was on my mind last week for a challenge! you inspired me!! Love the buttons and thanks for the close up.
Great job on your first challenge, Lauren! This is so pretty and I am completely envious of the two dozen roses!! They are gorgeous. Your stitched flower is amazing and I can believe it took forever to do! Well worth the labor, though! Hope your fingers have recovered! Thanks for sharing all the details too!
wowza! you rocked this challenge! absolutely gorgeous layout! and that stitched rose is absolutely beautiful...worth all your hard work! extraordinary layout!!!
Wow! You put a lot of work into this! I love the idea of just printing something from the computer and using it as a stitching template - I'll have to give that a try. :D
This LO is all about the wonderful roses Justin sent to me through 1-800flowers.com! They were for my birthday on January 22nd, and I'm designing this LO with Valentine's papers, appropriate for the red roses theme.
Journaling reads: (it runs across the bottom of the red cardstock page) " *Someone special sent me two dozen roses for my 23rd birthday on January 22, 2009!!! With my new camera, I captured these photos! * Scrapbooked 2/2/2009"
The stitched flower took forever! In fact, I stitched it during the entire Superbowl. I used a flower from the font 'LPFlowers2' I downloaded free from dafont.com. I printed it and cut it out to use as a template for the stitching.
All the papers are DCWV except for the very back B/W border paper - it's Me & My Big Ideas. The swirls are KI Memories lace cardstock, and I threw in a Colorbok transparency. (I added black ink to the lace cardstock to make it just a little more black.) 'Birthday' is made from American Crafts rub ons, and 'Roses' is made with K&Company glitter stickers. And the buttons are from the button collection I've inherited from my great grandma.
Well, I'm entering my first challenge/contest on SB.com with this LO! I've never done anything with the challenges and contests, but I'm giving it a shot now. This is for Esteelynn's Valentine's Day Challenge!
