Today I actually have a scrapbook page! It's been too long since I made one. My daughter sent a lovely bouquet for Mother's Day and I dried one of the petals and decided if I didn't get it put on a page soon, it would be ruined. SO - here it is!
It is based on a sketch by Christy Harriman. I really needed to use this sketch because: 1) part of the photo of the flower arrangement needed to be covered because I did a poor job of composition when taking the photo! and 2) The only thing I found that was the right dark color to match the photos was a small piece of glittery fun foam - and I had JUST ENOUGH of it!
The paper is from a paper pad I got years ago. Unfortunately the company name & the name of the pad was lost long ago. But the plaid and the stripe worked well together. The plaid was cut to 8" x 10" and the edges inked with dark ink before adding it to the page. I already mentioned the foam - which I think I got at the dollar store. The roses are ones my mother made - and of course, the dark petal is the one that I dried. I added a bit of bling from my stash, die cut a title (HOTP Love & 5 Hearts die set), hand wrote some journaling, and glued it all in place.
