At the beginning of the year, my upline, Janice, and I
decided to co-host the Saturday Scrappers group. This was her month to lead the group and we
completed fun, spring-inspired pages.
The first 2-page spread is so bright and colorful! We used Daffodil Delight for the background
paper and then layered flowers and butterflies out of Floral District, Summer
Smooches and Polka Dot Parade DSP. In
order to cut and punch out these items, we used various punches; both sizes of
the Scallop Circle, the Blossom and Boho Blossom, the new Elegant and Bitty
Butterfly, and the Floral Frame Framelits. It was fun picking out our own color
combinations. I was again drawn to the
purples and Rich Razzleberry (I still need to let you in on my girlie girl
purple inspiration – coming soon – I promise). Others in the group chose more of the orange
and yellows in the above mentioned DSP. They were all beautiful pages. 
The next 2-page spread had a fun Poppies feeling (hello, its
California’s state flower). We also used
one sheet of the Floral District DSP sheet with the printed Poppies on it. Are you wondering what embellishment is used
for the accent Poppy? Well, we made that
flower ourselves. Yes, a handmade
embellishment by twisting, turning and wrapping the Tangerine Tango ribbon from
the Sycamore Street ribbon and button’s collection in the Sale-a-Bration
catalog.
“Sale-a-Bration” – a great way to get FREE
items from Stampin’ Up!
I think these pages are so fresh and they put a spring in my
step to get started on next month’s pages.
As always, thanks for stopping by.
