A Perfect Day

I have been making layouts from sketches and challenges on line since I started scrapping, but I never got the nerve to upload them.

Today, after doing an LO from the "once upon a sketch" challenge blog, I was so pleased that I decided to upload it here.




Title:  A Perfect Day
Journaling: A perfect day is best spent discovering new places.  Lombard St., San Francisco, California, USA., July 2010.
Materials:  Cosmo Cricket Material Girl and Garden Variety Double Deck paper pack, Titling from Nikki Sivils We Are Family Cardstock Stickers.
Tools:  Martha Stewart puncher, scissors, MM Slice, foam dots, double adhesive tape

This is a picture taken of me at the foot of the famed Lombard St. in San Francisco, California, USA during a visit July of last year.  I have been wanting to scrap this but never really found the right sketch or challenge. 

I used left over patterned papers from the double deck paper pack of the material girl and garden variety lines of Cosmo Cricket.  I have wanted to use the flowers from the sheet "Inspiration" of the Material Girl collection.  I felt  that this was one of the best opportunities to cut-out and use the flowers.  I used my Slice to cut-out 3 sizes of butterflies from the basics 2 design card. I used martha stewart punch for the scalloped edge.

I really enjoyed doing this layout despite the interruption of breastfeeding my 4-mo old.

Peachy <3 :-)
