Polkadot Door Bloghop for August

So excited to be part of the 4th Polkadot Door Designs blog hop for August!

If you are here from Dee Dee's blog - welcome! If you're hopping and  lost your way you can scroll down for the blog list. This month's photo is loaded with some great elements and if you play along at Polkadot Door (where you could also win some great prizes!) you can use all of them, or just one or two to create your inspired project. Here's is our inspiration for the month:

For my project I used the sentiment, the colors and the frames as my main inspiration. The colors in that photo are so pretty - when I saw all those frames I was definitely feeling a layout.  I plan to put this one in one of those shadowbox frames, since it's too dimensional to be put into an album.

I tried to duplicate the look of the hanging paper flowers and ornaments. I downloaded and cut that cute cursive font in my title with my Silhouette. Here's a close up:

materials: patterned paper: Studio Calico, Sassafras Lass; frames: Studio Calico; silhouette: Maya Road; daisy die: Stampin' Up; circle dies: Spellbinders: flower centers: Prima, EK Success; cursive font: Lollihop by Silhouette

Great prized to be won on this blog hop! If you take the challenge and link up your project, you could win the prize provided by the Pork Chop Show. They will be providing 3 sets of wooden cut-out embellishments.
Blog hoppers could win a prize by Live the Chaos, who is giving away a gift certificate to their shop and mini stamp.
