Picnic Perfect!

I had in mind to create a page today so I set all the bits out on the desktop ready for me when I got home from work.  I had a basic design all mapped out in my head and plans to use some of those yummy embellishment stickers by Echo Park Paper Co.

My camera's low on juice so I only have the one picture to share.  It's a bit busy maybe but I just can't help myself I guess.  Love it or loathe it - it seems to be my style.

I used these photos of Maddy on another picnic & play adventure day just to size up and position photos how I think I want them but I hope to use some different ones - just as soon as I take them LOL!

There are lots of cute little features that maybe don't show up quite so well in this shot so I'll explain a few.  I took the journaling blocks and mounted them onto chipboard - even to the point of using my crop-a-dile to cut out the postage stamp edging!  I thought I was real clever doing that LOL! 

I also added the words and 'sweet memories' banner text onto chipboard so it would stand out too.  I 3D mounted the flower stickers using foam pads and added buttons and pearls to them.  I used a fine liner black pen to add lines to my paper so it would be more defined and then finished up with some little pen dots.  I used a mixture of upper and lower case letter stickers to keep it fun.  Remember - you can always click on the photo to see it in a larger size for more detail.

All that's needed is the journaling and of course the right photos but it's nice to know these ones would work if I needed to use them instead.

Well that's it for now.  It's after 10 pm and I have work tomorrow - another day done and dusted.  Maybe tomorrow I'll work on the tags for my picnic in a bucket.  I want to save the rest of the stickers for a few cards so I will have to drag my trusty Sizzix dies out I think.  Should be fun!

Enjoy!
