Swirlydoos Layout Of The week 5-25-10

I have a special this week..I have these 2 wonderful LO's posted as LO of The Week. Trying to pick one was almost impossible for us. We could not choose between these 2, so we chose to show case them both..
The first one is a fabulous guy LO...We don't see these to often...And Bravo for using a flower, which by the way came out "To Die For"!!! Lovely!! Jennifer This is Jennifer's story about creating the flower...
"I am going to tell you a bit about my rose and my throwdown.....I spent about an hour on it. Hated it. Smashed it....went back to Tina's blog about 3 times. Tossed it in the trash. came back about an hour later and saved it.
Sprayed it with starch, smashed it more. Stuck it in the sun to dry for a few hrs. Cat batted it around on the floor for a bit. Then decided to glimmer mist it......
Next, to place it on the LO? Leave Off? On? OFF?
Family vote time (any of you do this?) - 2 vs 2. That means I am the tie breaker? sheesh...Finally son in photo put me in my place and said enough already with the flower thing. He has both teen angst and is bossy!"




The next beautiful LO "SHIPWRECK" is from Lisa (lisanovo). The colors, the layers, the design!! They just scream summer!!! We think this LO is worthy of a Magazine cover!! The photo's are of her adorable daughter Tahlia playing on the beach. There is so much intricate detail in this LO...You have to go visit Lisa's blog to get the instructions on how to make your own Prima inspired "Flower Stamen and natural center flower tutorial"!She did a wonderful job explaining in photo detail on how she made them!!
