Give a Cheer
This is my catch-all page for August 2009. I usually do a page for each month with all the odds and ends that don't fit into any other lo's. For 2009, I'm also including each month's birthstone, flower, and astrological signs just for fun. My January through July LO's are in my gallery (2009 Album & Month LO's in 'albums'), where you can also see the themes I used for 2006 & 2007.
I chose green for the base of this LO for the August birthstone - Peridot. I stamped and heat embossed the dashed border and the Prima calendar stamp (on vellum). The August flower is the Poppy. I popped up one that I cut from an Autumn Leaves Pretty Poppies embellie with a foam square, and I drew the stem with Stickles. The gems and brads are all green for peridots.
The photos are of my neighbor's sunflowers, a loon on our lake at sunset, a family of mergansers out in front of the cabin, Abigail in her raincoat, and Abigail out in the boat in her life jacket. I made a pocket of the sunflower photo to hold a tag I made telling about the polls I won and the featured LO's I had that month.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
