In The Garden

Peachy Florals

Hi everyone! This week I created a page using some photos from several years back. My husband and I went to a commercial flower farm where they open to the public a couple weeks during peak season. They had several props you could take photos with including this old tractor. The pictures came out so pretty!

I used some paper from the DCWV Copper Luxury stack. I feel like I’ve been using this stack a lot lately! Thesis another collection of double-sided papers so I used my usual trick of cutting the paper into threes and glued all panels on some black cardstock. I used black simply because I have a ton in my stash and I don’t use it very often so I might as well use it up somehow.

I cut a washi ticket sticker to use as a border on the right of my accent panel and then used a large scrap from stash that is from the same collection of papers so the colors matched perfectly. I then added in some circles and rings made from handmade paper as well as a tag and some animal die cuts, all by albumlovehandmade.

I actually used a stamp on this layout which is something I never do. I feel like I’m not very good at it because the image didn’t come out super clear. Maybe my ink pad is too old and dried up! I stamped the image of birds on a wire on some white cardstock and used a Marvy Uchida punch to make a tag. I stamped one of the paper circles as well but it didn’t show up very well. Why am I so bad with stamps??

Lastly, I opened up some pink and team floral stickers by The Paper Studio that I have had for years and years and added three of them to the layout as well as some enamel dots by Simple Stories.

This page was made for the August 3 in a Row challenge at A Cherry on Top. I had started out meaning to complete the middle column with Green, Free and Stamping. I realized after the page was done I had accidentally completed most of the board! I was only an animal embellishment and some torn paper away from a full blackout!

I also used sketch 387 from A Cherry on Top’s weekly sketch challenge. Didn’t have a collection of smaller photos so I used two big ones and added a ton of extra embellishments as usual.

That’s all for this week. Thanks for stopping by and if you are looking for another paper crafting challenge to participate in, you can check out the monthly one that I host here. See you all soon!
