Grand Rapids -- Meijer Gardens with Chihuly - Lilies etc.

I was pretty excited at how this turned out! I love the Autumn Leaves cutout (green, left rectangle). I had the flower--had been hoarding it--believe it was Martha Stewart. And, doesn't the embossed Core'dinations paper go well with this theme also--you might have to click on the picture to make it larger? The Flair worked out pretty well. The base was Crate Paper-Mia. Oh, and the rub-on for the year 2010 was American Crafts. Pretty simple, but I really like it! It's so much prettier in real life--the textures are important and you just can't see it here!

I created this for Pages in Time Thursday Sketch Week July 15.

Grand Rapids -- Meijer Gardens, Horse Statue and Chihuly

I made this for Practical Scrappers Sketch Friday for the July 16 week.

Grand Rapids -- Meijer Gardens with Chihuly

I made this for the Pages in Time Thur Sketch of the Week July 8. It fits Blue Moon and pearl July challenge at PIT.

I did hand-make the blue flower to resemble the Chihuly in the top photo. I also used some hand-made shimmery mist on the circles and Chihuly label... It's a lot prettier in real life. Wish the photo could show the shimmer and the glitter I used on the Chihuly letters, butterfly and flower!
