A Day in the Sunshine

Quick Quotes latest challenge is handmade flower embellishments. Well this is right up my alley! I make a lot of my own embellishments, so I decided to give it a try using the latest sketch from Sketchy Thursdays. I am using one of my favorite photos of my daughter Naomi. We used to walk to a pond at a nearby park to feed the ducks our bread crusts. Here is the layout...
 I used October Afternoon's Sidewalk collection. I must say, this is one of my favorite paper collections. Love the bright cheery colors. Here are some closeups of my flowers.

 This is the sketch I used.
I am also entering this in the Whimsical Designs Anything Goes challenge. Stephanie has some exciting news to share, so be sure to visit her blog!
Let me know what you think.

  15. Wow! :o) This is a masterpiece! Not only is Naomi the sweetest little thing, but this entire design is simply marvelous. The banner of fun summery designs is so playful and perfect for a child LO. The flowers, butterfly, journaling.. my gosh. This is quite honestly one of the most brilliant LOs I've ever seen. :o) I am in love with it. Thank you for playing along with us at Whimsical Wednesday! :o)
