Scrapbooking, Tulip Tradition

 

I know I've been a bit MIA lately.  We found a house!  We close on April  23 and I can't wait.  In the mean time we had to move into a townhouse.  During the move the box with all the internet stuff and cable stuff and dvd player and wires and things got lost.  I think it is in the very back of the tandem garage of the townhouse.  It's packed full and there is no way to get to the back.  Since we are only in this place for a few weeks we are not going to unpack anything so no internet it is!   

 

 Anyways, I wanted to share this page I made for the Memory Nest's kit Pillow Patterns when I should have been packing instead.  I wanted to get it up a few days ago, but the move and lack of internet made it a bit difficult.  Back to the kit, I just love the warm hues of all the pages. It is even inspiring me on how I want to paint my daughter's room...hehehe.  The warm hues make me think of spring and I had to scrap photos of one of my favorite places, the tulip fields!  In the next week or two we will go back to see them so I'll get some great shots of my little guy and the flowers.  I can't wait!

 

I made the background of the page by tracing the photo viewer frame that was in the kit.  I then colored it in with gelatos.  I wanted to do water colors, but they had already been packed up in one of the 14 boxes of "Saskia's Scrapbooking Stuff."  I also used some white paint to make the random hexagons.  The title was made by sewing the letters with the twine that came in the kit as well as the scrabble letter stickers.  The one photo frame came in the kit while the other one I had cut with some good old scissors using the orange polk-a-dot paper.
