Give Away A Day 4 - Secret Garden at the Mirage

Hi,

I have another LO for you.  In June 2009 my brother-in-law came to visit and we all went to the Secret Gardens at the Mirage Hotel.  Living in Las Vegas there is always something to go see or do.

I initially bought this paper because I liked the back but when I saw these pictures I knew the other side with all the abstract flowers would be perfect.  I made more flowers using Mothers Day Bouquet.  I cut them in different sizes and colors to layer them then added BIG bling to the large flowers and 3 small blings to the little flowers.  These BIG blings are about 1/2" wide.  I got them for super cheap from Oriental Tradings Scrapbook section.  I needed to spend $3 more for free shipping so it was well worth it!

I used the olive colored twine to separate the flowers on top from the journeling box near the bottom then tied twine.  Again I used Kiwi Lane Designs Large and Mini brackets with this LO.  It was kind of my theme for the day crop I was attending.  They are so easy and quick!  I love them!

This is my husbands mother, Wanda and brother.  Wanda passed away about 6 months after this picture was taken.  She bravely fought ovarian and breast cancer for over 3 years.  She lived with our family for the last few years of her life, which was nice because my kids were able to know their Grandma.  She was a wonderful lady to all who knew her.  Many of my friends were jealous because my mom-in-law was so great!

The title is from Songbird.  First time I used this cartridge and I don't know what took me so long!  I love the font.
