Oh my, this Rose Bouquet kit screams SUMMER! I love it so much! Here's what I've done with the kit so far.

Metal Picture Frame

I LOVE this Prima picture frame, and it is PERFECT for the Rose Bouquet kit! 

Maya Angelou was an amazing writer, and such a wise woman. I remember being captivated by her writing when I was in 7th grade, reading I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. I later read her poetry and other writings, and I even taught some of her poems when I was an English teacher. I can't say enough about her, but I learned so much from this amazing woman! This is my tribute to her:

Everything except the small piece of lace, a couple of blue flowers, and the resin angel are from the Rose Bouquet kit collection. 

Here's a side view:

 And, here are a couple of closeups:

I also have a step by step video tutorial for this project that you can see here:

VIDEO TUTORIAL

"Adorable" Layout

This layout is based on the June sketch. The pictures are of my sweet Elijah playing with Daddy's hat. :) I'm probably biased, but I think he is flat adorable. The "adorable" title is a piece of Blue Fern Studios chipboard from my stash, but everything else is from the Rose Bouquet kit collection. 

I loved the blue and brown/tan tones of this kit, and I thought it was ideal for a boy page. The Ruby Rock-it wood paper was a little too grey for my color scheme, so I used some Frayed Burlap Distress Ink to make it match. I cut up the strips and distressed them like I did with all of the layers. 

I cut the circle ring with my Cameo.The foliage is cut out of cardstock from the cardstock add on with a Memory Box die. I added some green dye ink to the leaves, then pinched some of the leaves for some dimension. The photos are framed with some of the wood squares in the kit that I broke up to make corners. The small roses are from the project add on that I inked with brown ink.

"Together" Layout

I snapped this pic of me and my Elijah on Mother's Day! To start, I made lots of layers and have some ripped edges and some of the gems from the embellishment add on peeking out. For the smaller layers, I just used scraps and cut out some pieces to match, mixing them with some of the edges of the Kaisercraft papers and some of the coral lace. The brown clock is cutout of the brown paper with my Cameo. 

For the resin frame I misted it with some of the new Prima mists, dried slightly, then wiped with a paper towel. The peach flowers are from the flower add on and main kit.  I added some of the green trim to the flower cluster.

Thanks for having a peek at my projects and viewing the video tutorial. :)
