A Couple of Buds

Oh, it was so wonderful to be able to sit and do some scrapping - its been a month and I could only do one...oh well one is better than none. Its wonderful how a calm just sweeps over you when you get to do what you love. If only I could scrap every day or at least every second day.

So here is my layout called 'A Couple of Buds' It is actually my DT layout for Journaling Junkie which will be posted shortly... shhh... dont tell anyone I posted mine a tad early.

This is an interesting challenge, there is a recipe to follow;

1 x photo

1 x die cut (the green border strip under the photo)

1 x textured patterned paper (the green glossy paper)

1 x cardstock

2 x other patterned paper (orange paisley and plain orange)

inking (black ink)

bling (rhinestone on border strip & rhinestone circle around title)

rubons (the journaling block which I cut in half and the small flowers)

stitching (the orange X over the black circles)

scalloping (I combined the cardstock and scalloping recipe items as one piece of scalloped cardstock)
