During Holidays Handmade I posted these ridiculous photos of myself.  I received this comment on that post:

What great inspiration and fun photos. You are going to have a blast making layouts with these wonderful colors as inspiration. Can't wait to see them. Penny

Well, Penny was right!

I had a ton of fun putting together this layout!  Love the happy fun photos and the bright colors too!

The journaling card (isn't that bumpy edge so pretty?) is the packaging that the rhinestone centers came in painted white and fed through my typewriter.  Cool, right?

GarlandGirl-Detail2-sm
I used five or six different Prima stamps and stamped the heck out of some shipping tags.  I used Archival Ink from Ranger so that it wasn't a problem when I painted over the stamped images.  The ink stayed put!

GarlandGirl-Detail3-sm
I used two kinds of white flowers and dressed up the flat ones with big rhinestone centers.

Simple and fresh feeling layout, don't you think?  And I adore how the white and black set off the strong red, blue, and yellow paint!

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. I was delighted to have the opportunity to appear on the Paperclipping Roundtable podcast once again!  We discussed scrapbooking places that are important to you.  Give it a listen and let me know what you think!
