Flowers From My Garden Color Me Happy!

My mojo needed a major jump start and the April  Daydreamer kit from Scrapbook Circle helped with all of the bright and colorful Amy Tangerine Sketchbook papers, along with a couple of challenges,
 ScrapFit's Workout #67 - Decorate With A Doily and Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge Garden Challenge.

I enjoyed using the framed paper from Amy Tangerine for the pictures of some of my favorite flowers!  You all know how much I love my flower gardens!!!
I love this collection and after receiving my kit, I ordered some additional papers and embellishemnts.  It's so out of my comfort zone, but I have to admit it's addicting!!

I used my Crafters Workshop Swirls and Flowers template to cut out some flowers and spellbinders Shapeabilities Foliage die for the stem and leaves

and added a bright and colorful orange doily for the ScrapFit Challenge,  purchased from The Purple Pumpkin

I dug into my container of rub ons and added a few to my layout:

I'm hoping now that I have finished this layout that more will be coming!!  Life has been

extremely busy and stressful for me lately and I do miss my scrappy time.

Thanks for stopping by!

Today's Story: having a great time

It's Friday and over at Frosted Designs that means a new Fabulous Friday challenge, hexagons!  I decided to join our fabulous group of designers for the challenge.

I love the picture on my son Jeffrey on the  layout and wish it had been better one. The year was 1989 and we were on vacation in New Jersey.  I remember this day as if it were yesterday.  Jeffrey loved trucks and was so excited when he saw this ride on the boardwalk.  I am trying to make a better attempt at journaling on my pages and added this little envelope with an insert that captures my journaling.

Can't explain why, but I added some pop of hot pink to the layout.  It all started when I came across the  heart pin by Pink Paislee.  Knew it when I saw it that it had to be a part of the page.  I added a little stitiching and a little pink here and there.

I used bits and pieces from my February and April kits from Scrapbook Circle.  Lots of rub ons from Heidi Swapp in the April kit as well as some new Amy Tangerine Sketchbook papers.

Hope you will have some free time to join in on the challenge. We have a great prize from our sponsor Vintage Street Market.  Stop on over to see what the DT has created to get you motivated!

Thanks for stopping by!
