Wild Flower Scrapbook Pages

Hello and Welcome to the Whimsical Wednesday Blog Hop!
We are glad you could join us. You should have arrived here from Stephanie alwayscrafting. If you just stopped by to say hi you can start at the beginning of the hop by clicking here Whimsical Wednesday.
Here is my project

Here is the first page: My page sizes are 8.5x11. My family and I find this to be the best size for us as they fit perfectly on a book shelf in our living room and it is easier for our kids to look through them then the 12x12 scrapbooks.

Here is the second page: For this layout the title was made using the "Sesame Street Font" cartridge (Sunny Day w/the shadow) I alternated between lowercase and uppercase. The 3 sunflowers were cut from the "Stretch Your Imagination" cartridge also with the shadow. The title has diamond Stickles on it, and the sunflowers have yellow Stickles also all edges have been inked with brown.
Here they are side by side.

This is the card I made.
I decided to use the left over paper I used on the LO on the card. This sunflower was also cut from the "Stretch Your Imagination" cartridge. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms stamps. The extras on this card are: White gel pen, gold gel pen, Cinnamon Stickles, brown ink, and Fiskars Threading Water punch. The button was tied with yellow and white bakers twine.
I hope you enjoyed and a have a great day!
