"Garden Beauty" by Michele Edwards

Every year it happens, the winter blues. I long for the bright sunny days, and for my garden. I confess that I've spend hours looking at the online seed catalogues, planning my next garden!

Variations

1. I used the add-on to embellish a two-page layout.

2. Instead of hearts, I created stems with leaves and flowers. I made an accordian sun-flower, and re-created the swirl in the seeds using string.

"Art" by Janette Kincaid

Supplies - Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned paper: Scenic Route; Accessory Sheet: My Mind’s Eye (Ooh La La-For Him); Corrugated alphabet: Jillibean Soup; Memo Pin: Tim Holtz; Distress Ink: Ranger (Pine Needles); Adhesive: Helmar Scrapdots, 450 Quick Dry; Journal Pen/Marker: Zig (Black); Floss: DMC; Misc: ribbon, dictionary paper, canvas, paint, brads



Variation #1 – Rather than repeating the rows of hearts and the straight lines of stitching I took inspiration from the one large heart in the sketch and put it front and center on my layout.

Variation #2 – I added stitching around the outside of the painted canvas heart. It’s really a little pillow made with two pieces of canvas stitched together to hold the cotton ball stuffing inside.
