Natural Beauty

Happy Happy Friday!!!! Are you as happy as I am to see the weekend come...a light at the end of the tunnel and it's not a train...yeehaw!!!! This week we are involved in a triple challenge with Frosted Designs and Practical Scrappers....this means lots of fun opportunities to get your scrap on and maybe even win some blog candy.....This layout features my lovely DGN.... Adrionna... aka...Onna... she is such a pretty little thing. I used DCWV papers and some card stock. The journaling was computer generated and then distressed with craft stain. I also added a little Martha Stewart doily punch scrap I had. This ia another sketch from pagemaps and is the sketch for SOUS this week.
The cherry blossom branch is from Home Decor...I added some white silk flowers and some pearl paint centers. Natural is cut from Opposites Attract and Beauty is several different fonts from Lyrical Letters. The owl is from Happily Ever After, part of the challenge from Frosted Designs. I adore this lace and use it a lot....which brings me to the next part of the challenge. The challenge for Practical Scrappers was to use at least 3 different types of ribbon. I used the pink and checked here and added some paper flowers. You can see that I stitched around the marquee I cut from Storybook. The mat behind the picture is from A Child's World.
Some more lace ribbon and I added a pin accented with a few beads as well.
These flowers were made from a Home Decor cut. It is the flower with the heart shaped petal and I cut 3 each in 3 sizes and layered and layered....and scrunched and scrunched. I also distressed with craft stain and added stickles. The leaves are A Child's Year. My butterfly is from Indie Art, I strung beads onto wire to form the body. The flourish behind the flowers is also from Home Decor. We have had such a wonderful response to the challenge blog and hope that this triple challenge will make it all the more exciting. Hope you will pop over to SOUS and check out the DT's creations as well as Frosted Designs and Practical Scrappers. Thanx for taking a look....let me know what you think!

    I want to know, do you make those tiny paper flowers, the ones over by the ribbons? If so, have you done a tutorial on them? I keep seeing them in your work and I just love them. I want to make some like that. :)
