BlueBonnet Scrapbook Layout

Created this scrapbook layout using BlueBonnet: digis & photos. The sentiment at top "Texas BlueBonnets" & flower border at bottom digis are from Doodle Pantry. I won these last yr and first time using. They are pre-colored. Printed them on white cardstock. Used Tim Holtz Distress Ink faded jeans on edges. Used Kraft green cardstock run thru the Paper Crimper for matting. Printed the photos on 4" x 6" HP photo paper daughter gave me for Christmas. Left photo was photographed by me in 2011 of the fields of BlueBonnets in Ennis, TX. Right photo was photographed by me in my backyard. Was pleased with the Bee and the BlueBonnet.

I'm looking forward to Spring.
