The last time I was crafting with the adorable "My Happy Place" collection, I was slightly obsessed with the adorable plant stamps in the Garden Girl set. In fact, I was so obsessed that I decided I really wanted some plants for my happy place - my crafting corner. So I grabbed the collection, picked up a couple of cut files from the Lori Whitlock store and got crafty!
Voila - the perfect cut plants that don't even need water to stay smiling! I used the 12x12 patterned paper from the collection for the pots and some of Doodlebug's amazing textured cardstock for the plants. To create their little faces, I simply used some of the black Sprinkles from the "In the Garden" Shape Sprinkles for eyes, some pink Sprinkles for the cheeks and then drew on the mouth. I topped of the cactus with two flowers layered together from the Bits and Pieces pack.
Yup, this little ray of sunshine can smile at me all day. But here's the fun thing - if you are looking for something a little less cute and a little more sophisticated (don't worry, I won't tell this cutie)...
The Shape Sprinkles make the perfect embellishment instead! I went for a monochromatic look, simply choosing the sprinkle shapes that coordinated. And if you are like me and can't decide which style works best, do one style on one side of the pot and one on the other side like I did!
I can't wait to put together my new My Happy Place Shadow Box insert to go with this little trio! I think I know what I might be working on this week! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
