Blowing in the Wind


I mentioned in my last post how the In the Past collection from AB Studios was perfect for masculine layouts. I find that it’s just as perfect for this photo of my granddaughter taken early in April when the trees were full of blossoms.


Again, I used Très Jolie’s June sketch, this time flipping it 180°.

I began by cutting an 8” square from the center of the bottom sheet; I would only need the edges to show. After trimming the top layer to a 11 ½” square, I taped it to a piece of packaging and adhered it to the base sheet.

I fashioned three long double layered tags from scraps and the beautiful music cardstock from the kit and tied them with ribbon from my stash.

Once they were layered and glued to my page, I added some of the crochet lace that came in the kit.

I glued one of the stitched frames to my photo and another to a scrap of patterned paper and layered them on top of the tags.

I used the gilding paste that came in the Mixed Media kit to color the Music chippie and glued it down. I just love the flow of this piece.


I embellished the arrangement with flowers from my stash and leaves punched from the music cardstock.

I finished my page with a title made with a label maker.

  1. so much beautiful motion in this piece—the leaves cut from music paper are such a creative touch. Grand daughter is lovelier every day.
