I really enjoyed working the the papers in this month kit.  They are soft and vintage and feel like tapestry to me.  Right up my alley!

This page was created for the sketch that came with the kit.  It really took on a life of its own.

I used special scissors that cut fringe and went randomly around my paper and then crinkled them up a bit.  Rather than using 3 photos, I created a mat to go behind my single photo.

 

 We received some Junkyard Findings and metal Tim Holtz hinges in our Embellishment add on and I kind of just dumped them on my page and glued them almost where they landed.  

 I fell in love with the barn siding on one of the kit papers and decided to cut it into strips and then cut smaller strips in a few of them and curl them back.  I'm  not sure why, but my brain wanted to make it look a bit like bark on a birch tree.  You know how the bark peels off in curly-q type of pieces?  Yup, that's what I was trying to accomplish.  LOL

So, I'm looking through a magazine that came in the mail and I saw one of the most unique ladies' watch I've seen in a really long time and I instantly wondered what something similar would look like translated to a scrapbook page.  Weird how your mind just kind of shoots out into left field, ya know?

This ended up being a super loose translation of that watch.  I do have creative license, right?  LOL  I love to emboss Core'dinations card stock and this month's card stock add on was all Core'dinations.

I used my Cameo to cut the flowers and my Cuttlebug to emboss the petals and voila!  A really super big flower.  

 
I used flowers from our flower add on to create the center of the flower and added the gorgeous pendant from Maya Road that was in our kit as well.  Throw in some wood buttons and a few small vines and there you have it.  Out of room!  LOL

I hope you are enjoying our hop.  I am always amazed at what our designers come up and how absolutely different this kit looks with all of them. 

Thanks for stopping by!
XO, Lisa
