SAMI'S PHOTO SHOOT 6x12 Challenge

The inspiration for this layout was a challenge at My Creative Scrapbook to do a layout measuring 6"x12". Wow this was harder than I ever thought! I decided to use smaller photos provided by our mini schnauzer -Sami. I kept telling her "look here Sami, look at Mama"!! Well she didn't think much of the idea! I used some paper from the BasicGrey Obscure line. It worked great for the background & complimented her pretty pics!!
The flowers were made with the Basic Grey Obscure Define & 3 punches- a small Retro flower punch, an itty Fiskars flower punch & a small sunshine punch. I distressed them with Distress black soot ink & Adirondack Pool ink, then added the layers & used a small brad as center. The edges were partially outlines with a Signo & lime green Stickles. I had to refrain from adding more layers, but I felt this size really needed small flowers & not big thick blooms I often do!
I doubled matted the pics & distressed with the Distress black soot & Adirondack pool. The circle chip pieces were inked with the pool ink & "Stickled" with turquoise & aqua. I placed them kinda randomly to fill some empty spots.
The flourishes were were also inked with the pool ink & "Stickled" with the turquoise, aqua & a little bit of black diamond. I just grabbed some leftover Thickers for the title! I enjoyed this challenge! I think it was a fun way to scrap! I will probably try another one! Thanks so much for taking a look!

First of all, Sami is adorable! And secondly, wow, what a gorgeous LO. I love those little flowers and the circle chip pieces, the double matting (that really looks great!!!) and again those swirls add so much movement to the page. One of my favorites of you so far!!
