Story Time by Riikka Kovasin

Hi there! It’s Riikka here today with my March project. When I started to think what to do, the current season spark my interest. While I write this, there’s still snow on the ground here in Finland, but the temperatures are raising and especially there’s more sunny days now! So, we are headed to spring!

I thought the Garden Party collection fitted the spring theme wonderfully, when the nature bursts into life after the winter. As I’ve done ATCs using the beautiful flower prints on the “Dreamy” 12×12, I thought to do a layout this time. And when I saw this photo of my two girls reading, it all fell in place. I created a layout with a secret garden vibe, referring to the wonderful world of books..

I started the page by adding some patterned paper on top of the one from the Domestic Goddess, then added some masking tape as well and then brought the mediums in. To me adding those mediums to the mix makes all the difference. With them I can leave my own hand print to the papers. I hope you enjoyed the project and find a spark of inspiration in it! If you haven’t scrapbooked in the wonderful world of books yet, maybe that’s something you could try?
