Sweet Caroline, do-do-do!

I'll say it. I know you are all thinking it. New product is AWESOME! I love the newness of all the colours and designs and when they come into the store en masse, I get GIDDY! Friday night, I was into my favourite store, Two Scrapbook Friends and what did I see? My Mind's Eye overflowing the racks! I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Miss Caroline. The wood grains, and muted melon and lilac, the florals and plaids.  I chose a few papers (I need to pace myself here!) and when I got home I went right to work.

When I was a kid my aunt and uncle had a farm and I remember the worn grey boards of their old old barn. I remember the feel of the wood; warm from the sunshine. This wood grain paper brought back all those happy memories. I splattered white acrylic paint on the back ground and dried it with the heat gun. I layered the patterns and inked the edges. I loved the floral pattern and fussy cut them out.

I layered a duplicate rose on top of some of the flowers and popped them up with foam squares. I layered the cluster over a doilie and added a few pins, some grosgrain ribbon and green crocheted trim.

I hope you'll find some new product at Two Scrapbook Friends that lights the fire under your creativity!
Until next time, keep doing what you love to do!
