I hope you all had a good Christmas and are currently thinking up New Years resolutions you intend to keep. Personally, my usual one is to take up regular exercise, I have never yet managed to keep it up long. I start off with good intentions, but these quickly disappear because I can always think of so many better things I could be doing with my spare time than going to the gym for an hour of puffing and sweating. I know, I know, it is good for me, it will keep me healthy in the long run but that doesn't make it any more appealing. Perhaps this year will be different...... Yeah, right!!!!!
This layout uses the Peony range of papers by My Little Shoebox. Paper 7705 was trimmed to reveal just the green stripe with the flowers attached. Extra flowers and stalks were cut from the remainder of the paper. Two 10mm wide strips were cut from paper 7704, one was placed 11cm from the base of the white 12 x 12 card stock. The green flower stripe was butted up to this. The other 10mm strip was placed 6cm from the top of the cardstock and the extra flowers placed randomly within the area between the two strips to create balance and interest. A piece of green cardstock was cut to 5 1/4 inches x 10 inches ( I have swapped to inches as it is easier when working with a 7"x 5" photo), all four corners were rounded. Using the remaining paper from 7705 a strip 5" x 1 1/8"th was cut, two corners were rounded and adhered to the top of the green card stock leaving a 1/8"th gap top and bottom, next the photo was added. Another strip of paper 1/4" x 5" was adhered under the photo leaving an 1/8"th gap. Finally the title was added, for a finishing touch a few left over flowers were applied to the corner of the green cardstock.
