Feel like a flash back to the 70's? As I sat back looking at the scrapbook page I designed for my Scrapbooking with Rubber Stamps class, the sayings "Flower Power" and "Groovy" jumped into my head. My scrappers loved my groovy pages!
My Pick a Petal page was pretty quick to make. I stamped and cut out six petals and used Stampin' Dimensionals to lift them off the page a bit. The flower did not stand nearly as well when sitting flat on the page. Such a little thing, but the added dimension made a huge difference in the look.
My Groovy title is made with the Sizzix Big Shot and Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Sizzlits. Once you make a purchase of an alphabet, you will use it over and over again. I love the Timeless Type Alphabet because it works well with elegant or cutesy pages. If you can only afford one alphabet die set, make sure it is versatile like the Timeless Type Alphabet.
My three little flowers are from the Trio Flower Punch. It gave my square some balance and coordinated beautifully with the five petal solid flower stamp from Pick a Petal. Balance and coordination – a dream come true for this bull in a china cabinet!
Do you like my funky photo mats? The traditional matting of equal on all four sizes just would not do for such a groovy scrapbook page.

Pixie Pink: 12" x 12" and 4-1/4" x 6-1/4" (photo mat)
