Inspiration Avenue: Sunflowers

I could have posted this challenge any day this week, but since Friday is the day I post my IA challenges, I stuck with the plan. When Shel offered this Sunflower challenge for Inspiration Avenue this week, I was thrilled since the theme resonates so prominently in my life. I decided to bring back a few round robin altered book pages I made last November for my friend Marlynn. Her theme was sunflowers and as Shel pointed out, they are the state flower of Kansas. If you want to revisit the entire post and all the pages I made for Marlynn, they are here. So enjoy this return to days gone by, as well as a couple of new photos, and hopefully most of these will be new to many of you.




I don't normally stamp, but dug out a rubber stamp for the pocket.


Here are the two postcards I included.


I "stole" "borrowed" the idea for this page from Lisa at Wright Stuff.


This is a technique I learned from Lynn at Her Creative Spirit.


If you think sunflowers are only for my art, here is a really dark photo of a couple of friends/neighbors at a restaurant where sunflowers take center stage.



And finally, a photo of a bouquet of flowers from the local flower shop that I used in two of my pages in Marlynn's round robin pages. I cut out the sunflowers and used them as image transfers. Now you can see sunflowers are definitely a part of my life. So hop on over to Inspiration Avenue to see what others are posting for this challenge.
