Here's the inspiration I chose, "Little Miracle" by Karola.
And here's what I created. Family....You boys are my favorite escape! I must say, it's a bit frustrating when you're trying to get the right lighting for the photo and the sun has gone down. Alas, thanks to a broken light fixture, my bathroom is lit up like the sun these days, and so the pictures seemed reasonable enough to post. I will probably update them if possible with some more naturally lit pics soon!
Here's some close up of the details. I used the tutorial I found on the site and found they were very easy - once you get the hang of them. The other flowers are even simpler, courtesy of a tutorial from Sketch Inspirations. I am thinking of going on a 'flower blog hop' soon, because I really just can't seem to get enough of all these crafty flower inspirations. I just really adore them, however, I am finding that my scrapbook pages are far from fitting into any album these days. If you have ideas for how to store these rather 'lumpy' pages, please do share! A friend of mine has suggested I do up the entry walls like a school 'trophy display' and I can switch out my layouts as desired....what do you think? My hall of scrapbooking fame? Hahahaha.
Enough chatter, and more teaching! I've used the Webster's pages here, Seaside Retreat, and a generic sheet music page for the background. I had the coordinating stickers, fabric ribbon and journaling notes, all of which I just love, to really complete my layout.
I did have some K & Company, Sea Glass paper ribbon as well, that I used to frame out the sand dollar arch. The little brown glass beads are clear pebbles that I rubbed with some brown Staz-On ink. I just felt it needed something to make it stand out a bit.
Wish me luck on this, my latest adventure in the scrapbooking challenges! The boys come back tomorrow night, and we're off to meet the teachers. So, it will likely be a few days before I get a chance to indulge again....until then, happy scrapping!
I hope I've inspired you to get started on your own creation! If not, check out my etsy shop for more inspiration! http://www.etsy.com/shop/TiffanyScrapbooks
