Hydrangea

Besides scrapbooking, my other passion for the past 6 years has been flower gardening.  I had these beautiful hydrangea plants put in my side garden back in 2004.  The first year they were small, the second year they got bigger and the third year they died.  I was heartbroken.  I get very attached to my flowers.  You nurture them, feed  them and get so much enjoyment out of it.  Fortunately I did take these pictures, and even though they are not a part of my garden now, I can look at this layout and remember their beauty.

 I am entering this layout in three challenges this week.  

The first one is over at Stuck On U Sketches.   

The second challenge is over at the Color Room.

And the third is over at Wee Memories, where this weeks challenge is flowers.

 I used Webster's Pages A Sweet Life paper on this layout and did a lot of cut out work.  The frames are digital frames by Melissa Bennett.  I used my Cricut Heritgae cartridge to cut out the fence.  I added some little purple flowers that I purchase from Michaels a while back.  I inked a white doily and then edged it with some turquoise ink and added a little bling. The petal border above the pink frame is by Prima.
