Let me begin by saying all of the 12 x 12 papers are from a paper pack purchased at Michaels. The paper pack is by Craft Smith and is named Santa Fe Garden. I purchased this paper pack years ago and I do not believe it is available. The mats for the photos were made from solid color scrapbook paper I have on hand.
Cover page. Since I am creating these pages for my mother who has vascular dementia. I will be making the pages as simple as possible so she will be concentrating on the photos and the story behind them. The only embellishing I did on the cover page was I added glitter glue to the center of some of the flowers to give them a little dimension.
January. I added some glitter glue to some selected flowers.
February. For these pages, I decided to use some felt flowers with rhinestone centers. I believ I purchased the flowers from Hobby Lobby many years ago. Very simple but decorative.
March. To decorate the first two pages, I cut out flowers from a page that is part of the paper pack I am using for this project. I then used red rhinestones I purchased from Amazon to accent the centers of the flowers.
I decided to not add any embellishments for this page as I feel like it works without anything. Plus I do not want to make the page look too busy.
The next installment will have pages for the remainder of March and April. I hope you will come back to see how they turn out. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
