"Hello Garden Harvest" layout

Happy Thursday friends. Today's layout was inspired by the latest sketch from Sketchabilities blog. 

I flipped the sketch and placed the elements onto the right instead of the left. I wanted to use some tags that I got in the clearance aisle of Michael's craft store and the holes goes into the left so I it dictated where everything else on my page fell. 

I wanted to use up some of my latest purchases so I put together a homemade scrapbook kit and this is my first layout made from that pile. It has some papers from Recollections and We R Memory Keepers, plus stickers and frames from Heidi Swapp.

I also added a chevron party bag behind my photo, just because it was cute. I made sure though to mat my photo with pattern paper so that if ever that pocket/bag is not acid free, my pictures are still protected from it.

I finished off the page with misting using some Color Shine from Heidi Swapp.

I haven't used my typewriter in a while so I decided to bust that out for my journaling. I missed having a garden, sadly there's some rabbits and other little creatures roaming around my garden this year that most of my plants got eaten up before they sprouted any flowers. :(
Hopefully next year we will figure out a better system cause I really miss harvesting fresh veggies from my backyard.

Thanks for stopping by.

Till next time,
Grace
