STS Speed Scrap #50

Yep another speed scrap! Woohoo two in less than a week!!

Okay so this one was REALLY hard for me. I fought almost every step along the way!!! lol Here are the instructions:

STEP 1: CHOOSE 5 SOLID PAPERS-USE ONE FOR YOUR BACKGROUND
STEP 2: TAKE 3 OF THE PAPERS AND CUT INTO 3 DIFFERENT BASIC SHAPES (SHAPES-CIRCLE, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, RECTANGLE) OR SIZES- LAYER THEM IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF YOUR LO
STEP 3: CHOOSE YOUR PHOTO-CUT IT INTO A BASIC SHAPE DIFF. FROM YOUR PAPER SHAPES. USE THE LAST OF YOUR SOLID PAPERS TO MATT YOUR PHOTO.
STEP 4: CHOOSE A FRAME AND FRAME YOUR MATTED PICTURE IN AN 'UNUSUAL' WAY.
STEP 5: CHOOSE 2-4 DIFF. FLOWERS AND 2-3 OTHER ELEMENTS. DUPLICATE THE FLOWERS AS NEEDED TO MAKE A CLUSTER ALL THE WAY ALONG THE BOTTOM OF YOUR LO. ADD IN YOUR OTHER ELEMENTS AS YOU'D LIKE.
STEP 6: ADD YOUR TITLE TO THE LEFT OF YOUR PHOTO. USE AN ELEMENT TO MAKE THE 1ST LETTER OF ONE WORD. (OR) USE AN ALPHA/FONT MIX ON YOUR TITLE.
STEP 7: ADD YOUR FINISHING TOUCHES: DROP SHADOWS, DATE, JOURNALING...

And here is my result. I think in the end it turned out good. I really love the cool frame and I love the flower border with the ribbon and the city and date on the ribbon at the bottom. I am still not totally wild about the circles, but OH WELL. The LO is done and I am not doing it again!

It's a cute LO! I like the way you did the title, with both words using the same C (which is adorable w/ the heart cut-outs).

Looks like you're going to be waiting for another 99 cent sale with the way that you're cranking these out!

I think it is very cute...do you do paper or digital? All of your layouts are very colorful...I like that.
