So glad you told me to check this one out as I missed it when I was gone! Love, love, love your color choices, the sweet pic of your boys, & the flowers are amazing! I like how you added the twine to frame the photo. My friend, you are always so creative & can't wait to see what you create next! BEAUTIFUL!!!!:))
Stunning layout. Wow you did all this in such a short time.....it would take me a week, changing and scratching my head. Your work always have such perfect details
Love the Vine stencil which goes perfectly with this LO as does all your embellies. It all seems to go together wonderfully. Super cute photo. Great design!!
Don't you just love it when the inspiration just flows? This is just beautiful - the border at the bottom is magnificent!!! What is your "Craft Palace"? I am intrigued!
Wow where to begin ,a stunning creation love the colours ,great photo and all of your beautiful die cutting flowers and leaves.The vine stencil works well with the ink it's my favourite stencil.
Love your butterflies, twine, and flowers! Beautifully done. It's awesome that you made this so quickly. It looks like it took a really long time. :) And that is a fabulous, inspirational photo!
Ya wanna know something funny? I was out in my Craft Palace yesterday just dinking around with no plans to really pursue making anything when I ran across this picture of my boys back in 2002 at their Uncle Bruce's place and was immediately inspired to start a layout! This came together faster than any project I think I've worked on so far. I found the paper I wanted to use within just a few minutes (something that never happens) and started gathering up trims, my stencil and even came up with the title within a few minutes! I worked on it for about 2 hours yesterday and an hour and a half today and enjoyed putting it together immensely!
I love the picture of my boys, Sam and Dan, in the tire swing with a stem of grass in each of their mouths!
I used Paper Studio's Pixie Stix paper and nearly immediately thought of Gabrielle Pollacco's Mini Moving Vines stencil and decided to just ink it in instead of using texture paste. I LOVE that stencil! I then decided to use the fringe trim and green burlap ribbon. I made or die cut all of the flowers used here as well as the butterflies. The denim flowers and butterfly are extras I had left from my previous layout using Sam's worn out Dickies jeans. Sam is my eldest and is now almost 25! The green burlap flower is from a Tracey Sabella tutorial. The other three remaining flowers are made from TH grunge paper. The teal one I ran through an embossing folder and inked it in with TH Broken China and Peacock Feathers and the other two I glued paper from TH Lost & Found paper stack and then die cut using my Big Shot. The fringe flower is trim I got from Hobby Lobby. The leaf vines were cut from a tissue box! The large butterflies are a Tim Holtz die. I'm sorry I can't recall where I got those green floral glass pieces. The green burlap and jute trim framing the picture, both came from Walmart. I think the off-white burlap that I made the flower out of came from HL.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I so appreciate your visits!
