As a design team member for A2Z scrapbooking, I have been using digital downloads each month and this month I chose to use the Poetic Petals digital download from Hero Arts.  This pack has four really beautifully sketched flowers, plus some papers and some embellishments.  I got to post three times this month and I used the same digital download each time to show the versatility of digital downloads. The first layout I did hybrid style, printing out the flowers at different sizes and colouring them in.  I once again used my Chameleon pens and also some pencils.  I cut these out and then arranged them around the photo area so it was if the photo is being surrounded by a bouquet of flowers.  At this stage the layout was a tad flat and I don't really do flat layouts, I like layers and depth, it is just more interesting.  Plus height gives you a bit more room to play with by tucking things underneath. Next up I went completely digital and used the flow...

Such cheeriness, aided muchly by the bike on top of the yellow.  This was a fun layout to work on, it must be the colours.  I guess black and white make it easy and then one other colour cuts down the options, so it just seems easier to find things that go, perhaps just quicker.  Gosh, sometimes going through ephemera can be so draining, I have sorted it out into colours now and that seems to work better than whatever I had it as before.  Room is always the issue in my craft area - I always need more of it, though I do have a plan on building something easy and a bit different shortly.  I do look forward to that, just got to work out how it can work in my strange space.  No mind, all that for another day. Ok, so back to the marvellous artwork.  I love bikes, I loved riding them, in fact, I lived on mine as a child, a bike was freedom and we had lots of space to enjoy just that.  Anyway, groovy paper I have liked in my stash for a while no...
