Working Outside The Box!

Sometimes when I get the kits I have no idea what to do with them or where I am going to get the pictures to do them with...

This time was no different... :)The colors were darker then I would normally use, and the patterns were far more bold then I would have used. In the end I loved EVERYTHING that I made...Thanks Michelle for the challenge... :)

So I decided that little pieces were the best idea for me. I cut the scallop out of a album that I had...just traced it and had a scallop...(as my little boy would say ter-der...)

I glimmer misted the solid bottom to give it some brown colors. I love the look and the visit from Jen Starr inspired me.

Still it was lacking...the floweres were in the kit but they were FAR to white for me...so I glimmer misted them as well...and then added the stickers for the middle pieces. They were in the kit as well...

LUCKY ME!

And still the flowers were not enough. So then with the help of some friends and an hour of discussionm of how to make the layout better. We added a block of blue...When that wasn't enough we added the corner pieces, ScrapbooksPlus has an amazing punch in the classroom that does two different pieces on the same punch so i used them both one i cut the velvet with (I love that stuff) and then a brown corner and layered them. When that was all done...it felt to open so I drew lines around it to close it all in...Thanks Enid...it worked great...

Add a picture and and ter-der all done... :)

Oh yeah and just in case you were wondering...
