Blooms

At Lasting Memories there is a new challenge each week, and you have till the end of the month to submit entries.  You can even check the blog sidebar for upcoming themes.

This is my second layout as a guest designer at Lasting Memories - the theme this week is Early Spring.  The challenge is to use flowers on your layout.  I took these photographs during a recent meditation retreat at Chung Tian Temple; enjoying the beauty of flowers is a wonderful way to quieten the mind.



* I created my layout using the first March sketch at Stuck?! 
* I included multiple layers for Scrap Our Stash Birthday Challenge #1 - layering

Materials:
Basic Grey Two Scoops - Very Berry Sundae patterned paper
Basic Grey Blush - Crush patterned paper
Spellbinders Frameabilities - Polka Dot Frame die
Stacy Claire Boyd Pollyanna - Miss Polly patterned paper
Sassafras Lass Royal Bliss - Trims patterned paper 
Gin-X He Sings at Weddings - Table 9 patterned paper (circle motif)
American Crafts Thickers - Lax glitter alphabets
Pebbles Roller Stamp
Tsukineko VersaColor - Orchid inkpad
