layout titled "SHINE"

This is another wonderful sketch #151 from Creative Scrappers that I did as soon as they posted it on Sunday- I knew right away what photos to use- and this layout is for my son who is dressed in the maroon shirt- so guess what colors of papers I pulled out?  Your right Maroon- misc papers from my stash with no company name- so they are pretty old but worked well with these photos.

 I also handmade the accordian flowers added some 2 toned teal and white twine on them and then made a matching banner with the titled "Shine" on the punched out circle with pop dots. I stamped in Distress Ink- victorian velvet some circle do-dad looking shapes all over the background and hand drew stitch lines all around the border of layout. The new Challenge over at Frosted Designs this Friday  is to do a project with hand made embellishments- so I will be adding this to the DT inspiration projects. Be sure to go check out Frosted Designs for all there wonderful challenges and the upcoming Blog Hop on May 6-8th.
