Hello!!! I have been having some time 'in the zone' today and I can't beleive the time has flown by so quickly - but I do have something to show you - This layout for The Color Room Challenge - I am loving this challenge and the way they do a lot of the thinking for you by giving us a colour palette each week - mind you, in saying that - these colours are not in my 'comfort zone' but I am happy with the outcome!
I used Layers of Color flowers from the Nature Walk art stamp set and the butterflies from the Butterfly Collector art stamp set. The DP is from Die Cuts With a View - the 'Once Upon a Time' series. I loved this window and knew as soon as I saw this photo my DH had 'quietly' taken of me, that I would use it on this DP. I used the second sheet to cut out the window frame and sponge the edges, then attached it with foam tape, giving it dimension, but not too much!! I have tried to get the right angle with the photo below so you can get an idea of the dimension. My Scrapbook Albums are pretty thick by the time I fill them up - are you surprised!?!? LOL!
This gorgeous Prima flower vine was part of a RAK from Priscilla - thank you Priscilla - I have been waiting for the right time to use it and it fitted perfectly on this layout - it is the perfect colours for The Color Room Challenge.
I then added the strips to the window frame, I wanted to blend the photo into the space more, but also wanted to add something else - these worked well and I added a butterfly from the Butterfly Collector art stamp set!

How do you close your albums?? I am not at all surprised to hear that they are rather thick! But never mind, you could just frame each LO instead, as they are all GORGEOUS!! Love the framing and dreamy look of this one!
