Garden Whimsy

I've been working on this spread since last night and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. What do you think? This layout was my inspiration. I love it, but I didn't want to cut my photos. I desperately wanted to showcase the red popsicle and my daughter's striking baby blue's, but I didn't just want to do a red, white & blue layout. I ended up using 12x12 glossy paper, stamped the images in Versamark and sponged with the pastels. Also, I embossed the black circles and title. This was a messy project! I smudged the cardstock in a few places, but I was already too far into the project to redo the whole thing!
