Simple Joy

Today I'd love to share a layout I have done for Berry71bleu's Simple Pleasures May Challenge!! Things do not have to be big to be pleasant. Please feel free to find inspiration anywhere. What do simple pleasures mean to you? Our challenge hostess Tusia created the mood board using some wonderful images from Pinterest. Whether you prefer muted colors and simplicity, or bold, fresh colors and profusion, we hope you find something to inspire you! 

Here is what I did for the challenge!!

Being out in the garden with the girls is a pleasure for us. We don't have great green fingers but enjoy growing a small amount of vegetables each year in the back garden and the girls love to help. Here they are picking lettuce leaves for a salad.... I thought these Bright Blossoms Photochips from our sponsor Darkroom Door fit the theme perfectly. I cut out several images and layered them under my photo. The gorgeous paper is from 7 Dots Studio from the Dreamer Collection, I just love the colors and textures in it!

I used the gorgeous Fenced Birdhouse chipboard from Molossi, embossing it with Lindy's Stamp Gang Powder in Pumpkin Fiesta and Sunset Yellow Orange.

I have added mesh tape, and lots of misting and masking as well.  I really enjoyed using my mixed media goodies to make this, even though I had to add one 3D flower to the mix as well!! Thanks so much for looking and I hope you join us this month for the challenge!!
