Kodomo Dessert Flourishes

Here are a few layouts that I did for a Scrap Friends review of Kodomo stamps. These are currently my favorite designs. They came together like a breeze. All the cut work on the second layout took a bit of time, but I saw the paper and just knew what I needed to do. There was no creative struggle. (And sometimes there is!) It was like the layout made itself and I was merely the one placing things. It was my first time working with Kodomo Stamps as well as Luxe pattern paper and it was a great combination!

We don't get a lot of rain in Arizona and Snukie was fascinated by it a few months ago, but the pictures I took didn't show the water droplets so the effect was somewhat lost. You can imagine my excitement when I received a rain drop stamp and was able to add the rain manually!

Journaling: Lyssie was just enthralled by her first encounter with rain. She just kept trying to catch the drops. So sweet. 1.08

I also have two newsie things to share. I just found out that I won a flourishes contest at Becky Chabot's blog! My prize is a set of flourish stamps that is really awesome so I can't wait to get that package in the mail! A sneak peek of my first stamp can be found here. It looks so fab the way Jen colored it. I can't wait to see the full reveal tomorrow! Very exciting!
