I should be gardening!

Well I should really be gardening, the sun is out and the weeds are growing BUT there's a slight chill in the air so I decided that it was far better that I stayed indoors and scrap ! If you believe that then you're as bad as I am!! Yes, the sun is out and the weeds are growing but I wouldn't truthfully say it's chilly so it isn't really the reason that I'm scrapping - I'm scrapping because I'd much rather do that than clear the weeds LOL
I was surfing UKScrappers yesterday and came across a thread about the on-line crop that Shimelle was holding over on her blog.Nipped over to have a look at what it was all about and the first prompt looked rather interesting.
Requirement was to scraplift/take as much inspiration as you wanted to from a page byJaime Warren
Now I really liked the idea of scattering embellishments across the page and I also liked the placements that Jaimie had used on her page.
So the inspiration came for my page from the scattering of the embellishments, although I don't think I've scattered them that much. I also followed the placement of Jaimie's elements. I had to adjust mine slightly as I was using a portrait photo but it's not that far off the mark I don't think.
I've used some of the newly released My Mind's Eye Follow you Heart Be Amazing range of papers.I added a few other bits from stash such as the buttons and twine, cut out an extra couple of the kites from some spare paper to give the page a bit of dimention, stamped and cut out a couple of birdies, again to give the page some dimention and to follow the scattering of embelishment theme. I also found a very very old frame again by My Minds Eye whilst I was rummaging through my stash so I used that to frame the photo.
I must admit I've really enjoyed this challenge, mainly because I'm not really a scatterer ( is that a word?) I tend to cluster my embellishments on the whole but I will certainly have a re-think on any future pages I'll be doing.
Do pop over to Shimelle's blog,it's running all over the week-end with different challenges over the three days and there's prizes too !!! You don't have to do all the challenges over the three days, you have until next week-end to upload your pages if you do decide to join in so there's no pressure.

Here's the page that Jaimie made

and this is what I came up with :
