In March of 2011 Morgan, was playing in the backyard and found a four
leaf clover. He was so excited, he could not believe, nor could I, that
first, he found one, and secondly that he found it within 15 minutes of hunting
right in our own backyard. So cool!
I used the wonderful Graphic 45 Place in Time paper pad with the March selection of papers.
There are so many cool items in the paper pad, the word strips, postage
stamps, graphics, and tags I just used a few other embellishments to
finish of the page.
I
did not preserve the clover very well, I just let it air dry, so all
the color was lost. I coated it with glossy accents to prevent it from
tearing, but it did not look very pretty so I just glued it to a tag,
placed a Prima flower on the end as a pull out holder, and tucked in
under the picture. Here you can also see I used the Prima chalk ink to coat the edges of all the papers and the photo in my layout, it helps soften the look of everything.
Here
you can see one of the Prima resins and a beautiful birdcage, I thought they looked wonderful together.
Here I used a tag cut out from the paper pack and tucked it under the torn and rolled
top paper. I then added Prima flowers and tuck in the Maya Road green
flower pins (cutting off the part of the pin so they did not stick out)
to create the cluster under the tag.
