Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #330

Happy Monday.  I know it's Monday but one thing that will make your Monday a little better is a new sketch to get your creativity kickstarted.

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #330

Don't you just love those tags?

For my layout I chose the Graphic 45 "Birdsong" Collection as I thought it was perfect to the capture the feel of the Japanese Garden at Butchart Gardens in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada last summer.  I loved it there.  It was so perfect and calming.  My husband loved it there too.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the pagodas, the tree, the fan and the word "harmony" in Japanese.  I then heat embossed them all to give them some more colour and dimension.

Let's Capture These Sketches #147

Today is another sketch reveal over at Let's Capture These Sketches and I had fun with this sketch.  I don't use my mists very often, and it was time to take them out and try them with a mask from Prima.

This summer, we went to Butchart Gardens in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and if you love flowers, then you will find this a paradise on earth.  I love photographing flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!
