Life is Good

Today I have a layout using the Mayberry paper pack and putting together some Summer Fun.


The flower was fun and easy to make. Take your 1 1/4 circle punch and punch out 3 from one paper and 3 from another. Cut a 1 1/4" square to use as your base to build the flower on. With each circle fold two sides in to form a funnel. Do this for all 6 circles. Put glue on your base square. Now take 1 from each of your papers and glue the folded edge together back to back onto your base and continue gluing all of your pieces alternating as you go around in a circle. Now fold the sections down all in one direction as you move around your flower clockwise. To finish it off take a large canvas button and stamp a design on it. Peel off the backing on the canvas button and adhere to the flower center. Stamp a couple of leaves, cut out and adhere under your flower base. I hope this isn't to confusing to understand.

The title was done by using 3 different stamp sets and the 1 1/4" circle punch. I used the polka dot circle from Circle Together. From the set called Connections I used an open circle design. The last stamp set was from the Felicity kit. I used the alphabet from that one. I was trying to see if I could make the same look as the Token alphabet set with what I already had. I think it came out looking really nice. If you want to do it in one step then you can use the stamp set called Token Alphabet.

I have stacked my ink colors I used.

I have another layout using the same Mayberry papers and will try to post that soon.

Thanks for stopping by.
