Happy Mother's Day Layout

 Using 49 and Market Gardenia Spectrum papers, Citrus Vintage Bits Essential Flimstrips on the side and bottom, Spectrum Sherbet Remnants which is the orange folder on the lower right edge of the photo. The cluster of flowers and butterfly is from the Prima Marketing stash I have/hoard!! And then I added Tonic Nuvo Crystal drops in Copper Penny by the flower cluster, and the Midnight sky by the "y" in the title. The title is cut from the Pinkfresh Studio Phrase builder: Happy with Bazzill white cardstock. 

About the photo: I didn't really want to take pics today due to having to wear a back brace due to my recent back procedure for pain. I am so glad that I did and that it shows what was going on even if under my shirt. The layout came together so easily using the 49 and Market fun products that I received from A Cherry on Top including the June 2024 Cherry Box. So glad that we force ourselves into our own photos even when we don't feel like it!!

Prima Marketing Annalee Layout from Sketch in Thyme blog

I love these papers and found them at a recent Scrapbook Garage Sale at The Scrapbook Studio in Tavares, FL. Such a cute shop and met such sweet ladies!! Yes these papers are a blast from the past and came with the flowers which were included. Loved working with all of the pretty colors to make this feminine layout. Products used: Prima Marketing Annalee, Fairy Flora and Flights of Fancy Collection papers. I fussy cut apart the borders and used 2 of those. Cut up all of the different papers as squares and layered and distress inked all of the edges of each and the larger 12x12 background too. Inks: Ranger Distress Walnut ink; Distress Oxides in Mermaid Lagoon and Raspberry Preserves with a blender tool. Also distress inked the flowers as well.
