It has been a little while!! Life has been busy! But today, I have a layout to share that was inspired by the art department at Close To My Heart during their cardstock carnival celebration in March. The layout could be easily re-created using border cuts from Cricut or other sources.
The original art work was a cute little accordion book, however when I first saw it all I could think of was Shamrock right?? So this was the project for those who attended my "no-perks" day on Shamrock Thursday. I really am not very good at following my own "no perks" rules as participants still receive a project and supplies just not me teaching them.
Isn't this book just adorable?
So from here, I opted to make this into a 2-page 12" x 12" layout. I used White Daisy as my base and used Limeaide, Clover and Evergreen for the shades of green. The die cuts were pre-cut from CTMH and the string was a generic string that I had in my stash. I sized, and cut, all of the tags on my Cricut. For the Evergreen tag, I stamped the rainbow image from the current Operation Smile stamp set in Evergreen Exclusive Ink. For the final touch, I added the Limeaide Enamel Dots from the Hunny Bunny Dot collection and some hand stitching using a White Gel Pen. I, for one, am quite delighted with how the layout came together, and furthermore turned out.
Here is the finished layout, as well as some close-ups.
