The sweet life

Pyssloteket is having a challenge where you should create around the word "Spring". Spring is starting to join us outside, it's sunny and it's getting warmer - Love it! :)

I choose a photo that I took last spring when me and my niece did our nails, with an idea that she had heard about from a friend. And of course a yummy ice cream! :)

I did a lot of embroidery on my layout - like the cosy home made feeling it gives.  

Among my scrapbook stash I have a lot of stickers... that I randomly use, but it was some time ago. For this layout I picked out a lot of word stickers that represent spring for me, and sprinkled them across the layout. 

I was thinking of showing you the back of my layout as well, with all the left over thread, so here you go. Sometimes when I like both sides of a pattern paper I cut out a piece of it behind the photo - to save for my next project. :)

I also write on the back of all my layouts, when I created it and when the photo was taken and of what. Usually I don't have any journaling on my layouts, I find it hard to add it on them for some reason, but this is a way for me to keep track of that info in a different kind of way. 

Spring for me is a bright feeling, and I wanted to show that by picking a bright happy pattern paper - this one is from Sassafras Lass.

But to make it a little bit more grungy, I added teal paint through a Finnabair Prima mask and stamped with black ink and a texture stamp.
