My 1st DT project!

It has been worth the wait for my Design Team package to arrive from Australia after the 1st one went to the wrong address but I am now happy to say that I am thrilled with the contents and got to work immediately. *Ü*

I recently spent some time with my youngest granddaughter Ashley and took her to the park where she played in the fallen petals of the blossom trees. She got me making her a daisy chain and we gathered blossom and I decided to use this photo for the layout.

The papers I used are from Girl's Paperie by Margie - one inparticular looked like a Cath Kidston pattern!
I wetted the edges and rolled them to get a 'shabby chic' look and then used fluid chalk along the edges.

Then I used a tea plate to draw a circle, Fiskars circle cutter to cut the circle and again, fluid chalk to define the circle edge.

I believe it's the first time that I have used all patterned papers together without cardstock, so it was a challenge for me! *Ü*

There was a variety of embellishments, lace ribbon and the glass buttons were the exact match to what Ashley had on her t-shirt! I used one of my two and half thousand fonts - 'Alpha Flowers' for the 'FLOWER' part of the title 'FLOWER Girl'. Then I cut the sharp pin ends off the 'flags', added beads to cover the pointed end, joined them and added letter stickers to the flags.

 Thanks so much for looking... and for being patient! *Ü* It was worth the wait for me.

Toots for now,
