| While singing the song in my head - the words "Skies of Blue" "Clouds of White" and the word "Wonderful" made me think of the beautiful day my hubby and I spent at a Sunflower Maze, last August. |
 |
| I wanted to focus on the word White and Blue, and the beautiful blue skies in the photo, so I searched my stash for paper that had lots of white and blue in it, and decided to use BoBunny's "Zip-a-Dee-Doodle" Collection. |
 |
| I added some yellow to the photo mat, and yellow ink on some of the circles that I fussy cut from one of the pages to compliment the yellow in the photo. As if there wasn't enough "doodling" on the page - I added some more of my own, here and there - like the "lacy" look doodle at the top of the circles in the photo above. |
 |
| I added the doodles around the word stickers and the ones coming from the flowers too, along with doodling the date. I also outlined the "LOVE" in blue too. |
 |
| Here are all the different circles and some other shapes that I cut out of one of the papers and inked with Ranger Distress Stain. I only glued where they were tucked under the the circle above them, and kind of curled the bottom part to give dimension. I also added bling and pearls to the centers, and I also added the doodling you see around them. I used the following items from BoBunny's "Zip-a-Dee-Doodle" Collection: Papers: Journal (base) Zig Zag and Abstract Combo Stickers 12 x 12 Chipboard Buttons, Jewels Layered Chipboard Dimensional Stickers Thanks for stopping by!
