Springtime is the Land Awakening

Good Morning :) I created a layout from a challenge over at Our Happy Scrappin' Place. I used an ugly (in my eyes) paper and used it on a layout. I love to buy paper pads, but you always seem to get that one paper, it's like where did they get the idea or inspiration for this one! The challenge is then to use it on a layout :) So be it! I did it:
 I guess in theory if you use just a little bit of it then it doesn't look so bad :) I used the Freaky Fast Friday challenge over at the ScrapRoom blog to cut up the pattern pieces for the layout . I was then able to use those pieces and apply it to the sketch over at Sketch N Scrap:
This was a fun sketch to play with :) Might have to keep ahold of this one for other layouts :)
 I got a new batch of prints from Shutterfly from my phone pics and this one was taken of the crocus coming around after a long winter sleep :) Seeing crocus always makes me happy to see the new begiinings of spring :) So from Whimsical Musings I was inspired by Challenge #22: Inspired by new Beginnings

My journaling :) Other than the ugly paper all the rest of the layout came from my current counterfeit kit Sunny Daze and a few finds on my desk (the stickers, rubons, ribbon, tag and flower)
Did use up a package of rubons on the layout :) Still have lots more to go! Have a fantastic day today! Thank you for stopping by and seeing what's going on in my little corner of the world :)

  3. Well, I am kinda loving the ugly paper Tina. lol I think it goes great for this garden themed layout! Love the sketch you used and love the other papers you used on it. The houndstooth paper is awesome, love the rub on's you used. Perfect for this layout. A lot of the bulb flowers bloomed early this year as we had some warm temps for the middle/end of winter. I always love to see the bulbs bloom too because it is a sign that the lands are awakening. And who doesn't love that?! Hugs, Brenda
