Topiaries

I have done this sort of thing before, but I just love the look of making tiny mickey topiaries from paper to go with my photos. This weeks Color Combos Galore #194 had the most perfect colors for my photos of the front of Epcot for the International Flower and Garden Festival and the challenge is to use numbers so I just had to make the mickey and minnie into the 0's for 2005. I used the Martha Stewart punch called hydrangeas with the tiny 4 petal flowers. I have a couple of close ups so you can kind of see how I did it. I want to do a bigger one on another page but these take awhile.

I used DCWV Cotton Blossom papers because they have fantastic glittery glossy bits, and also some papers from the Echo Park For the Record collection. Just perfect colors

Lovely layout! The little flowers for the "00" in 2005 are so pretty. I can see where it would take you a while to do. I love how you replaced alot of the "o" with buttons. You find the neatest looking buttons. Great layout!

I love the Disney photos you've used I also enjoy seeing these photos, since I can't imagine that I will ever get the opportunity to go. I especially love the wreath that you did, so detailed.
