How I love flowers

It has been a busy week at the store and we are

getting swamped with lots of boxes filled with

fun product but of course that means I have

to find a place to put it too.  So there is

lots of moving and pricing and making fun

samples up.  Yay, my favorite part....

Today i am showing 2 things

I did quick since I have so many more things

to get out in the next couple of weeks.

We got in lots of canvas to create things to 

decorate with so I made this little gifty canvas

to put on an easel that you can give to a friend or

 put up in your own house.  I used the Prima mini

pad for the back round papers and added flowers

and layered some Spellbinders die shapes under

the sentiment.  If you click on the picture you can

probably see it better.  I have been messing around 

with taking pictures in natural light and it doesn't

always want to cooperate with my artsy vision - big smile :)

Sometimes I like to use the intricate papers as a back round

to save time and money.  I love doing intricate pages

like the sunflower one I did on my last post- so 

don't get me wrong- but sometimes you just need to get 

the pictures scrapped and in the book right?   So for

this page I cut a circle and made my own doily for the

back round with a corner punch and put the matted 

photo on a ledge with flowers and added the glistening

bit of pearls to the bottom.  These papers are pretty

neutral so I added some extra pink and green inks

to the back round with a blending sponge from Tim Holtz.

Total time was only about 20 mins.  Yay!!

Thanks for stopping by and I have lots to make for

this scrappy happy weekend and maybe a possible 

trip to San Diego Wild animal park.  It's almost time

for the butterflies and I am sure there is lots of new

animal babies everywhere to take pictures of.  

Lots of hugs,

Teresa
