Hello and Welcome to the May Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop! This month we have a Theme Challenge of Florals! I love flowers, don't you?? There are sooo many options using Stampin' Up! products for flowers! I am anxious to see what everyone creates!
If you've already been hopping, thanks so much for continuing! If you are starting with my blog, I certainly hope you'll hop all the way through and check out all of the awesome inspiration from the Design Team. I am inspired each month as I hop through and I'm sure you will be too!
I have been trying to catch up on some of my Scrapbooking of our Grandkids so although I am typically drawn to adding flowers to many of my pages, trying to kind a picture that I needed to scrap to use with florals was a little harder than I expected. Finally I found a picture of Taylor and Laken from a photo shoot a few years ago and noticed there were some yellow wild flowers in the field. This seemed like a perfect excuse to add flowers and to use one of the new Stampin' Up! In Colors!
The photograph that I chose to use was taken on such a super hot day that I felt that like I needed to create a few sunrays. Instead of having the rays radiate down onto the photograph, I chose to have it radiate out of the photo. Of course if you have children, or like me have grandchildren, they really are the sunshine of your life! I used some Therm O Web icraft purple tape, similar to painters tape or washi tape, to tape off my sections. I use this tape because I hate to waste my Washi Tape! You can use the same pieces over and over to do this. I used the new Stampin' Up! In Color of Pineapple Punch on Stampin' Up! sponges to sponge in my sun rays.. it's such a pretty vibrant yellow!
I also tried to recreate some of the grass and wild flowers that we saw that day! For the flowers I used the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and Daisy Punch, The Bouquet Bunch Framelits Dies, The Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies, and the Leaf Punch. I did my journaling along the Sunshine Rays as that helps me to keep my handwriting straight. For the flowers and leaves I used Whisper White, Pineapple Punch, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, and Old Olive.
