Abit of eye candy

Hi All

I am back with a little number I created as a sample for my Local Scrapbooking Store Bella Paperie I have used the new papers from Dear Lizzy 'Neapolition'.  I created a fake poloriod and layered some papers and dripped some glimmer across the page, love how this turned out,

and here is a close up to show the layering

Thanks for looking, leave me some love

Hi All

Here is a sample I created for my local Scrapbooking store Bella Paperie, I used some yummy papers from Simple Stories

and I then embellished the page with some flowers, buttons and charms from D-Lish Scraps, here is a close up of the embellie clusters.

That bunny cameo was perfect for this layout as my daughter is wearing her Easter bonnet.

I am in love with machine sewing on my layouts at the moment.

and I still love my string and doilies as well ;)

Hope you like

Daphne and Poppy

Hi all,

Been a long time coming but here is the layout I promised last time, it's a very special picture taken of Daphne and her grandfather playing together. Richard passed away in 2008 and I have hesitated to scrap photo's of them together until now. I wanted the page to be special and I think that I have accomplished that with this Layout.

 

Here is some close ups of all the D-Lish Scraps, that I used on it,

Gorgeous 'Forget me Nots' and a teal lollipop from Charms Creations

Here I used a glass cabochon over the patterned paper with a resin rose and another forget me not,

Here is one of the antique brass charms that D-Lish stock,

Who knew simple wooden buttons could look so good,

love using the dressmakers safety pin with charms,

a carnival ticket,

last but not least, some of the 9cm triple head pins, with a Charm's Creation Clay button.

Hope you like this page, I spent a long time making each part unique.

Sisters

This month at Mad about Scrappin, the facebook challenge is to create a LO with a patterned paper base using paper strips and a one word title. I think I have done a great job considering, I have been laid up in bed for the best part of a week now.

I pulled out my pack from Crate Paper 'Random' and used 3 papers that complemented each other, used some of my favourite Distress Stains 'Old Paper' and black thread on my sewing machine to create this little number. Here is a close up of the embellie cluster,

I used a gorgeous new peacock charm, covered in tattered angels 'Glam' with new some new flowers from D-Lish Scraps, I wanted to keep it simple and focus on my darling girls.

Will be back when I am feeling better, to show you the first LO I have completed of my father in law and my eldest daughter, since he passed away nearly 4 years ago.

Til then

xx Lou

Hiya

Two days and two blog posts, MOJO is on fire!!!

This Layout has been completed for the Mad about Scrappin January Challenge, you need to use 3+ photo's. I dug out these photo's of Olivia back on her 3rd Birthday, she really loves this frog.

I was able to shop at Mad about Scrappin over the weekend and was able to pick up these yummy papers from Lily Bee the new range 'Head over Heels' love this colour combo.

Of course I could not resist to include some deliciousness from D-Lish Scraps as well, some resin flower centres, flowers, Forget me Not flowers and Blue Linen Sassafras alphas...

No Such Joy

Hiya

Hope you are all having a great new year,

I have found some much needed MOJO and have whipped up this Layout for the 123 Challenge Blog

You needed to have meet 3 criteria

Use the word JOY

have paint splats/ misting

and use Silver

I love this series of photographs that I took of Olivia in Christmas 2010, she started with a gorgeous smile but ended up in a heap on the flower refusing to take anymore photo's. My Baby (she is nearly 4) is very temperamental at times...

I started with the B side of Teresa Collins 'Carolina Breeze' can I say how much I love this paper range, love grey and yellow together. I then grabbed my splat TCW template and used my iridescent medium to give it the silver effect, this stuff is soooo shiny. I then added some Gesso, Black Magic Glimmermist and finished off with some basic pen outlines.

the next thing I did was grab my Christmas Present from my Hubby, my BIG SHOT!!!! I  embossed a piece of acetate, then went looking through my stash thinking what else can I put on this LO, then I decided to go with lime green with the silver. Once this was decided this all ended up coming together really quickly for me. Lots on this page came from my D-Lish Scraps stash, the Velvet flower, carnation, pins, spotty buttons, resin flowers and bird.

The word JOY is actually a mirror word, hence my red shirt was being reflected in the photo... Ooops

anyways hope you like and be inspired to get out some green elements and pop them on a page today
