Hi everyone! This is my try on the "Adore" challenge of
BITW. I used a lovely paper from Webster's pages "western romance" to match the "saloon" excursion we had last spring. We had a lovely time there and you could see that smile in all my daughter's photos! Anyway, here's the LO

I apologize for the photo of the LO, I cant seem to be able to get a decent photo of my work - how you do it is still a mystery to me!
To give some volume and dimension on the LO, I cut the same pattern of the cowboy hat and flowers from a second paper and attached it with foam pads. This picture does a lot more justice on the colours and intensity of the LO...

The bottom right turqoise paper is inspired by a
tutorial by Gabrielle Pollaco. I consider Gabrielle to be one of the greatest scrappers and I admire her work very very much! She is such an inspiration!

The crochet flowers are hand-knitted by my mother-in-law and I used some pearl maker to fill the center of them. The oval paper is plain vanilla cardstock which I distressed with Tim Holtz "old paper" stamp colour.

The sweet little deer is also distressed with Tim Holtz "tattered rose" stamp colour for extra dimension.
