This month my Creative Design Kit is made up of three different ranges and manufacturers.  The papers (all but one) are from Maja Design's Mum's Garden. I then have vellum creative cuts and  and a piece of Native Passion from Uniquely Creative's Peonies & Proteas. To finish I have 49 and Market's Color Swatch Willow Laser Cuts and Rub-On Transfer Set.

Our little grandson's absolute favourite food is strawberries so when his parents took him strawberry picking he was in his element.  As the daughter of a scrapbooker our daughter knew she had to take lots of photos of this event to send me and the papers and embellishments I had chosen for my kit were perfect. 

I started by gutting (removing the middle from) a 1" frame from Mum's Garden Plants and then trimmed 1/2" from the bottom and one side of a piece of Mum's Garden Ephemera.  I used a tape runner to attach this to the 1" frame. 

Using my Silhouette I cut a strawberry die cut from white card and backed the strawberry with the heart side of Mum's Garden Long Talks, the leaves with Mum's Garden Greenery and the flowers with Mum's Garden Patio.  I used Fossilised Amber ink and a small paintbrush to colour in the centres of the flowers.

My die-cut was then added to the top left of my page with two 3" x 4", and one 5" square, photos. I mounted these on scraps of white card.

The finishing touches were leaves, butterflies and a square tag, from the Willow die-cuts and flowers from the vellum creative cuts. 

My title was the word 'Beautiful' cut from the Peonies & Proteas Native paper and a Perspex 'Life' from my own supplies.
