Miss Imogen was not in the mood for playing dress ups and 

wouldn't smile, no matter how hard we tried.

Green Tara Mesh & Satin Frill ribbon cut to look like banner pieces.

 at each end, topped with a black Flower Spray.

Ripped up pieces of cobweb ribbon added here and there.

"New Ride"

I am totally hopeless at doing simple layouts these days, the less is more rule seams to escape me every time.
I just have to stick something on every empty space I can see.
 This month I challenged myself,  I wanted to try, but it didn't quite
 go to plan. It almost had me in a frenzy but after adding a
 few more bits I was finally happy.

I loved this bright background paper but it was too busy for
 the photos, so I gave it a coat of watered down white paint.

I knew I wanted to create a banner across the page so I started
with some Green Tara Rats Tail Cord,  cut the photos,
 and set about making random sized banner tags.

Adding a couple of small clusters of Green Tara flowers and
cutting up a Leaf ribbon in red to create small leaves in the clusters.

Another cluster of Green Tara flowers, this time using a 7cm petal flower
folded into four and lightly dusted with white ink.

Green Tara string in red was used to create a flower.
 A spring flower topped with a Cherry Blossom created yet
 another great flower.  Lastly I have used another 4cm petal which
was again folded into four and added to the bikes
 basket & then topped with a rose.

My brother coming home inspired me to create a card.
 It has been eight years since I last saw him.

"New House"

This was a sample piece of  Kaiser Craft paper and

 it was the perfect size for a card backdrop,

 topped off with Green Tara goodies of course.

Green Tara Silver Spray used to look like a tree. 

 Petals in lime were folded in half then the tops painted 

a little and layered to create the look of grass.

Tiny flowers and lace also from Green Tara.
