April Showers Bring May Flowers (May 08)

by Anne Montgomery

We've all heard the saying "April showers bring May flowers"...unfortunately some areas of the country are still waiting to see those flowers (they're buried under SNOW!)  Well, if you need your flower fix, the Booya girls have some floral eye candy for you to enjoy while you wait for the real ones to start blooming!

Maegan wows as usual with this gorgeous page in which she features a large Heidi Swapp flower that she painted to coordinate perfectly with her page, she also used some paper scraps to "make" her own flower accent.

Alissa went the same route as Maegan by painting her Heidi Swapp flowers to match her page and then framed her picture with them.  This simple page becomes so elegant with the addition of her "custom flowers".

Debbie used "mixed media" on her gorgeous, classic black and white page.  She chose a Doodlebug blossom but went a few steps further by stamping it on her glue pad and enhancing it with glitter, and she also hand cut some paper floral accents to coordinate perfectly.

Lacintha shows how tiny little flowers can make a HUGE difference.  She created this lovely "welcome" sign using mainly flowers and little else, but the simple embellishments make a big statement showing that you don't need to use a lot to create something stunning!  With her added bling and doodling, who wouldn't feel welcome looking at this cute little Pageframes?

I also chose to go the "simple" route by using nothing but cardstock, flowers, and doodling.  I used a variety of manufacturers' flowers to create a "frame" around a black and white picture.  The bright colors of the flowers help the picture to pop and then I added a few touches of journaling to complete the "frame."

I can't wait to see all of the ways that you use flowers to "grow" some new layouts and projects in the Busy Bee Gallery!
