Created using the Scraps Of Darkness kit mixed with some Scraps Of Elegance featuring Renea Harrison's most amazing butterflies.

I am the Guest Designer at Once Upon A Sketch for August. I am completely honored. Thanks Nadia Cannizzo and TEAM OUAS for voting for me and encouraging my art.

Here is my take on the sketch for the month of August. The theme for the month is "seasons" so I journaled a simple little line, "Summer is a time for picking flowers and running bare foot." I used elements from a Scraps Of Darkness kit and Scraps of Elegance to complete the challenge.

One of the remarkable elements is the handmade butterfly from Renea Harrison that is included in the Scraps of Elegance Kits. It adds such a dainty touch to this layout.

I took this photo of my darlin little cousin back in May as she was picking purple flowers from her Nana's garden. Trust that Nana did not mind. Who could? The scene was too darn cute.

I used the Dusty Attic ATC Frame #1 DA0673 and painted it in Adirondack Paint Sandal color.

Thanks a bunch for looking.

	By Simply Paper 23-Aug-12 Amazing layout! Well, sorry that I've been missing for several weeks in the forums and galleries and blogs but I've have had 6 or 7 kids to take care of each day for most of the summer, guests stay with us, lots of summer vacation mishaps (including sick kid among so many other yucky things) and now I am really behind on EVERYTHING. Hopefully life will slow down in September to catch up with all my online friends.
