Announcing the Winner of the Flowers, Flowers Everywhere Blog Hop

Well, my little one finally got to draw the winner today. YEAH!!!! I won't leave you hanging as I usually like to do. It has been a really tough 2 weeks. My allergies have really just kicked me down, to the point seeing to type if sometimes impossible. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks the pollens in the air will disappear so my life will somewhat become normal again. I am tired of all the medications that I am now having to take to be able to even see to drive or use my computer.

Well enough about me. Let get to the winner:

"Very cute layout. I am really going to enjoy doing this hop. TFS"

Well enough of all the chit chat and down to my project:

How does your Garden Grow?

This is to hold a picture of my little one planting our new flowers that will have for her special garden.

This is a close up of the Bird House and the flowers on the fence post.

Instructions:

Cartridges Used:

Bloom

Botanicals

Papers Used:

CTMH - Robin Egg Blue

Misc. Scraps for everything else

Supplies Used:

Design Studio

ATG & Tape

Dimensionals

Versa Magic Chalk Ink - Sahara Sand

Cricut Cuts:

Bloom:

Title - "How does your garden grow?" - 2 1/2 inches

Botanicals:

Bird House - 5 1/2 inches

Gate - 3 inches

Fence - 3 inches

Directions:

Bird House: The bird house was cut twice using Design Studio. One of the houses was flipped. Since there are not pieces for this cut, I had to cut it 6 times each to get all the colors. Then cut each of the colors up using only the pieces I needed to have the colors I wanted. Then I chalked the edges.

Fence: The fence was cut 4 time using Design Studio. Two of the cuts were flipped and welded to make one long piece for each side of the gate. These were popped up with Dimensional and inked.

Hope you liked my project and I do love to hear all of your feed back. So continue on your journey to One by One the Flamingo's are Stealing my Sanity. If you get lost along the way, please come back here and the full list is below.
