Don’t let your jaw hit the floor, but I have created a scrapbook layout for my invitation to guest design for
Scrap Africa. I’ve saved scrapbooking for when I hit “empty nest syndrome” and though I’m not quite there, I do have a daughter that will graduate high school this year. My very first true scrapbook layout with my own photo just had to be of her senior portraits. She has big dreams and I look forward to watching her reach every single goal!
I was so excited when I saw this amazing sketch – how cool!
To create my circle, I used my finger to apply texture paste round and round my canvas. When I had formed an even circle, I took a skewer and scribed into the circle to create the ridges.
I added crackle paste to the edges and let it dry overnight. I used Glimmer Mist sprays to color my background.
I used a mix of glitter, beads and mica chips to add interest. The “beautiful” die is by Verve.
The red flowers and leaves are by Prima. I added some torn crocheted lace and cheesecloth. I hope you will be inspired by this sketch to play along with the current challenge at Scrap Africa.

This is fantastic! Love all the textures. And, wow, when did your little girl grow up into such a beautiful young woman?!
Your daughter is indeed a very beautiful young lady and you have surrounded her with beautiful texture and THE most gorgeous flowers. If this was mine I would be framing this and putting it up on the wall! A wonderful interpretation of the sketch! Hugs, Anne xx
I've picked my jaw up off the floor - and BOY AM I JELLO! LOL Wonderful keepsake for your soon-to-be journaling and scrapbooking, Autumn. I kept saying the same thing and still have not done anything about it. So I now keep saying, maybe 2017 will be my year to start?
Loving the circular texture to draw the viewer's attention to the enter. It's a beautiful wreath, with great paint elements! And a beautiful daughter, too! Congratulations on getting started! Hope your week-end is sweet! hugs, de
