A Perfect Day

I am looving my new printer and love the photos it prints. I printed these photos and did this LO for the August 1st challenge over at Once Upon A Sketch. 
Sorry for some extra light on the photos, we have overcast days lately and it gets hard to take photos, and I struggle taking LO photos at the best of time.

I love how this LO came together. I have inked the edges of my journalling and the border of the colour photo to make them stand out. 

My little(big) birdie I stamped and then paper pieced the wing and did a button for  it's eye. I have made paper flowers and used a tag I got from clothing. The pink and green doilies are from Creative Bits.  I am enjoying my crocheting at the moment and have used one of my flowers with a pink pearl centre. 

The journalling requirement was to use the words A perfect day is.... This is what I have written using the criteria.

A chipboard butterfly and the strips of paper are from Echo Park-A walk in the Park. Don't you love Ella's expression of ponder.

Here is the sketch to follow, head over and join in the fun.

It's ages since I've posted but we have had visitors over on the weekends and a busy first week  catching up with everything now the kids are back to school. Hopefully in the next week I will be able to post some more.
