Amazing Summer Day 8x8 Layout by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning everyone.

Did you all blog hop with us last Sunday? If you did "don't you just love" the new releases?  If you didn't hop, you could always head over here ==> May 2016 New Release Blog Hop <== and hop with us.
Today I would like to show a projects that is totally in my comfort zone with lots of flowers and layers. For this layout I used the pretty "A Ladies' Dairy" collectors edition by Graphic 45. 

My uncle posted this amazing picture of him {in the back as a goofy clown} and my aunt the second on the left way back in the sixties at a campground on little Barbee Lake in Indiana. The three other girls are their nieces.  So adorable don't you think?

Amazing Summer Day: 

On the metal plate the text says "reality has limits, imagination is boundless".  It just so fits to this amazing picture with all beautiful minded people on it. The cream dotted paper I sprayed with water in the upper right corner to make it wrinkly.  Then I placed another blue piece of paper behind it and just went nuts with stamping, spraying and pasting. 

Maybe most of you know I love to use metal on my layout's and here I used metal brads for the centers of my layout and in the upper right corner I used a screw met embellishment by "Finnabair"!

On the cute leaves from the B777 - Floral Bouquet Kit {NEW} I added some glossy accents to give it more dimension. Also I cut apart the pretty FRM154 - Quatrefoil A2 Frame #2 {NEW} to place the pieces behind my picture which I layered on two pieces of paper.
