The winner of the Splitcoast Gallery challenge will have their project featured on the Flower Soft Blog on 8th!!!
If you didn’t start at the beginning of the hop please go to the beginning at the Flower Soft Blog.

Moments in Time Stamp set Little Friend
Polar White
Ultra Fine Strawberry Flower Soft
Flower Soft Glue
For today's hop I chose to make a scrapbook page of my daughter. Her boyfriend, Matt, took this picture of her and I just love it! Matt is a very talented photographer so be prepared for more scrapbook pages using his photos! LOL
For my 12 x 12 scrapbook page, I used some flower stamps from Heartfelt Creations. After stamping the flowers using Rich Cocoa Memento ink, I cut/embossed using the matching flower dies also from Heartfelt Creations. I layered 2 of the flowers together and added some Nut Brown Flower Soft to the middle of all my flowers. I think this really gives the flowers added dimension. The Flower Soft glue bonds so well that once it dries, there is no flaking - so no worries there!
Here is a close-up of my flowers. I chose to press the Flower Soft into the glue for a more compacted look. To me, that just looks even more realistic!
Because this scrapbook page has so much dimension, I will be putting it into a 12 x 12 frame that I found at the local craft store so that we can hang it on the wall. My journalling says:
Bloom and Grow!
This is your Senior year of high school. Your Dad and I wonder how time could have flown by so quickly. It seems like just yesterday, you were "Baby" Colleen. It's your time now to explore and see what life has to offer. Always remember that Dad and I will always be here for you as you bloom and grow!
I hope I have sparked some ideas of using Flower Soft in a different way and on different projects. There are so many possibilities!

Definitely a case of 'last but not least', Debbie! The Autumn look of the page is really complemented by the use of Flowersoft in the centres, and the whole thing sets off the lovely photo perfectly.
