Daffodils

Photos I took in April 2010 of various daffodils around my house, at my bff's, and at the zoo. I used four of these photos for my Photos of the Day that month in the POD group here.

This is my example for my June Four Categories Challenge - Category Two ~ Color: Green and Yellow. For the embossing twist, I used a Fiskars corner punch on the vellum that also embosses a pattern on the corner. It's extremely hard to see in the photo of the LO, but it's there.

I used pp's by Scrapperdashery that have the words to Wordsworth's I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud, aka Daffodils, printed on them. I also printed the poem on vellum to use on the LO.

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
By William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.


I cut the title with the Stone Script cart on my Cricut. And that's it... no embellishments. I'm finding that I have less and less time to scrap these days, so I don't have time to fool around with multimedia or making embellies, or even digging through my stash for things to fit a LO, let alone shopping for more stuff. Heck, I can barely even get photos edited and printed. I'm trying to let go of that feeling that a LO 'isn't done' if I don't have a ton of stuff going on. It's freeing. I'm getting back to simpler and simpler LO's as much as I can. It's a process. LOL
