A Wonderful Mess

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog. Wow it is almost September eeeeek! The trees are starting to turn colors here now, and I heard geese going over last nite..not a good sign no..fall is coming fast now!  Might get in one more camping trip this upcoming long weekend YIPPEE!  OK on to my layout for today...I used sketch #54 from Sketchabilities for this layout, and lots of goodies from older Scrap That! kits, including the bird cage stamp. I did lots of distressed edges, inking and the pink flowers are from my last tutorial. The cutie pie in the photo is my DGD…what a sweetie she is.  Here is the gorgeous sketch and my take on it.

Here is a close up of the distressing and the inking. The orange doily is inked with TH distress ink.

Here are some close ups of the flowers that I made. The bird cage is a Glitz stamp and I just fussy cut it out. The Dusty Attic vines are first painted white then I used a couple of mists on them and tucked them in with the flowers, and a few more goodies.

Well that is it for today. Do not forget to stop by Sketchabilities and look at all the gorgeous layouts from the Design Team. They are sure to inspire you. I will be back on Friday with a new reveal layout for SOUS and Scrap That! Thanks again for stopping by and I hope that you have a fantastic week.  Feel free to leave me some scrappy love comments, I love reading them ...take care and happy scrapping J
