YOU ARE so beautiful...

Hi there! I'm so happy it's Friday! Scott and I are taking Jerry and April for a long weekend trip to San Francisco this morning, leaving on a 6:40 am flight. We have a lot of fun outdoor activities planned so I sure hope the weather cooperates! The temperature difference between Phoenix and San Francisco is at least 30 - 40 degrees.

I have a layout to share that I made just because...featuring a sweet photo of Meredith that was taken several years ago while on a trip to Maui. I combined a piece of beautiful Webster's Pages patterned paper with a few MFT stamps and Die-namics and this is what I came up with.
I stamped the beautiful butterfly on a coordinating die cut both of which are from the MFT Inspired by Butterflies set, added some color with a Copic marker then kissed it with a layer of shimmery glitter. For the title, I stamped one sentiment from the MFT Complimentary Greetings on a label cut using a die from Die-namics Textile Rectangle & Stamp Set then I stamped the other on a die cut strip made using Die-namics First Place Award Ribbon Die & Stamp Set.
I made a few blossoms. The larger tan colored one was made using Tim Holtz Glassine paper along with Die-namics Plentiful Petals and the Coral colored rose was made using Die-namics Royal Rose.
I also stamped and die cut a ticket using the Die-namics Just the Ticket and Stamp Set which is full of fun stamps and a coordinating ticket die! Yeah ;)
Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed my project and I hope you have an amazing weekend!
Be Sweet :)

    Divine! Mind you, your daughter would make a paper bag look splendid. She is such a gem. I am also smitten with the die cut flowers. They are so pretty. My wishlist just grew. ;-) The colors are also so ethereal. You nearly have me wanting to scrap. That's saying a lot from a person who has never scraped a day in her crafty life. LOL Beyond inspiring!

    Have a brilliant weekend!

    This is so adorable, love the great design and the flowers are awesome!!! Take a sweater and some warm clothes. Sometimes San Fran can get socked in with fog and then it's even cooler and there is a LOT of moisture in the air you are not used to. Have fun!!!

    Mona, this layout is amazing! I must tell you that I have done probably two layouts in my life (I've settled in quite nicely into cards) but seeing your recents layouts has made me want to scrap more! I find it so intimidating but seeing your results gives me courage! Thanks!
