Lasting Memories Challenge - "April Showers Bring May Flowers"

Hi everyone! So sorry I haven't had any projects to show you lately, I kinda lost my mojo there for a while, but I think it is finally back!! I am on Spring Break from college finally and I am planning on getting A LOT of crafting done! :)

This week over at Lasting Memories the challenge is "April Showers Bring May Flowers". We want you to show off those rainy day photo's or those gorgeous blooms! We are being sponsored by A2Z scrapbooking for a $10 gift certificate and there is also an optional sketch for you to play along with if you need one, but for my layout I chose a different one this week. I also chose to show off pretty flowers since I couldn't fine ONE picture of the rain. AND I got to finally use a sewing machine for the first time after going through 3 non working ones! Well here, see for yourself! :)

I love the way this page came out! So springy and fun :) We got a surprisingly warm day here in Northern Cali in early March, so when Kenzie spotted the sprinklers I grabbed her new bathing suit and threw it on her and of course grabbed my camera to snap some adorable photos and I'm so glad I did :)


I used my Singer Pixie Plus to sew a circle around my sentiment which is a combination of Joy's Life Stamps for Hello (sweetie taped off) and a DCWV rub-on for Spring. My shape is cut from the Lacy Labels cartridge.

I made my own shade of purple paint and splattered some on my white paper for this cool little effect. I love that flower patterned paper too! Cut from CAC cart


Go link up your rainy day or flower pages over at Lasting Memories! You have until April 14th!

Sketch I used:


Challenges:
Lasting Memories - Flowers
Love to Crop - Any sentiment
ScrapFit - 4 photos
Sous - Spring theme

So many wonderful elements to this layout. The pictures are so darling and I love the sketch you used. Love the bright flowered scalloped circle and the spattered ink. Such a neat effect on the white space.
