It’s Day 3 of the 2013 Artisan Finalist Blog Hop.

Today I’m sharing an 8×8 scrapbook page.  This page features the daughters of one of my sweet customer friends.  Doesn’t she take great photos!  I just love how she captured such  a precious moment.

I decided to use the Core’dinations card stock for the background in Primrose Petals.  I used the Borders Scoring Plate to add some texture at the bottom of the layout.  Then I sanded the border and various areas of the page to give it a distressed look.  The flowers are from the Secret Garden stamp set. Then I added accessories from the Artisan Embellishments Kit.

This was page was one of my last minute projects to finish before it had to be mailed off, so in the rush to get all the pictures taken I forgot to get one of the journaling.  Basically, I cut the mat for the picture twice the size that I needed, and I folded it to create a hidden journaling section.

Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to check out everyone else’s projects for the day.
