I just love creating this layout. Applying a bit of mixed media to the
background, inking, and using spirtz. Then I applied cardstock layers,
 and my all time fave chipboard.
I placed this cute camera on the journal edge.


I fussy cut the pretty circles from Teresa Collins Daily Stories Circles.

 Here is my challenge inspiration...
"Bloom"

I love nature especially butterflies and flowers. So I created this lovely nature layout using this picture from my son. The background has a bit of mixed media, edge stamping/distressed. I love layering and the chipboard greenery.
 Don't forget the twist word-FLOWERS
F=flowers
L=lletters
O=Organza ribbon
W=Washi tape
E=Enamel dots
R=Rhinstones

 More Project Views...
My projects are always heavy in layers with a lot of pretty trinkets.
Next I distressed and inked the edges


I added floral chipboard, tags, flourish pearls, and a set 
of beautiful butterflies.



Here is a cute small floral cluster with baby breaths and ribbon.

I just love creating to capture special memories for a source of inspiration.
That's all for this post.
I hope this project inspires you to grab your stash and
express yourself.
