My August Creations by Sandi Smith

Hi everyone...Sandi back on the blog today to share my August creations.
 I can't believe how fast the months are passing by and before you know it
Christmas will be upon us!! I have two layouts and a card to share so let's get to it!!

My first layout is of the beautiful roses that my son gave me for Mother's Day.

Roses from My Boy

  I wanted to keep my flower cluster fairly simple so I used two white flower sprays to mimic the baby's breath in the photo. I added a few black roses, skeleton leaves and used the white mesh and black rafia to embellish.Here is a close up...

OK...onto layout number two.

Timeless Memory

I love this photo of my mom taken when she was a teenager ...isn`t she beautiful!! I used the gorgeous 7 Dots Dreamer collection.I once again kept the flower cluster fairly simple.My cluster consists of the pink flower spray that I cut into sections, tiny roses,and a gardenia and cherry blossoms that I altered with glimmer mist.You will also find little bits of lace and mesh tucked here and there. The Chippies are all from Scrapmatts.

Joy is Contagious

 Within this cluster you will find the beautiful red satin flower, cherry blossoms, rosebuds and of course...skeleton leaves. Beneath my sentiment, I used the natural Jute ribbon that I simply tied in a knot.
