I love including handwriting on my layouts, something l don't do that often which l know l should. My writing isn't that bad. And it is nice to tell a story about the photo on your page. I had this Gorgeous photo of my daughter taken when she was only 4. She was playing Dress Ups, and l was snapping away with my camera as you do. Got this perfect photo of her pulling this cheeky face. One to show her when she turns 21 lol.

So the handmade item l used on my page is a little Gold crocheted heart l had in my stash from Dlish. 

I used a paper from the Kasier Kaleidescope range. I really loved it as it worked in well with the Challenge as it had some handwriting on it too. 

Added lots of Flower clusters to my layout and a Dream Big Chipboard Title that l also inked up. 

I used a note paper to add my journalling to. Added some doilies, a flair, and some little pink flower sequins. 

Had fun doing this page and joining in for the first time with Show Us Your Stuff. 

Thanks for stopping by.

White With 1 Marsala July Challenge.

Hi hope everyone is well and have been enjoying this glorious winter sunshine.

I decided to have a play this month over at White with 1, with their Marsala Challenge.

At first l wasn't quite sure about the colour, as l don't normally use Marsala. But after some thought and going through my stash, l was quite surprised l had more Marsala colours than l thought l would of had. 

I really enjoyed using these colours for a change, and l am sure l will use them more often now. 

Here is the Challenge Theme. 

So its not as bad as l thought. Thanks White with 1 for a Great colour choice this month. So glad l had a go at it. 

There are some Great prizes up for grabs this month, so you should all give it a try yourself you will be surprised.  So here is the link  http://whitewith1.blogspot.com.au

I recently took a photo of my 10 year old daughter, which l printed on BW. 

She had this Gorgeous hat on too and l really think it worked in well with my layout too. 

I used a Gorgeous Marsala Flower that l had in my stash, with some White Magnolia's, Prima Roses, and some Wild Orchid Crafts Roses that l sprayed with a Prima Bloom Spray myself.

So happy with how it all turned out. 

I used a Prima paper for my background, and punched the edges out with a punch.

Then used a piece of White card stock. Sprayed and stencilled my White card stock using a Prima Bloom Spray. Stamped with a roller stamp using Tim Holtz Aged Mahogony. 

Stamped Butterflies with inks, and added lots of embellishments. 

Love the layers on this! 

And the end result. 

So thanks again for stopping by and seeing what l have been creating. 

Enjoy your week.

Kraft Plus July Challenge Mustard Explosion.

Here is my layout l created for this months Kraft Plus Challenge. This months Colour Scheme was Mustard Explosion, yellow paint, and to be inspired by items on the Mood Board.

This is their Mood Board.
Pop on over to their blog to enter this months challenge. There are some great prizes up for grabs this month.http://www.kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com.au

I had a photo taken of a bicycle out the front of my local Florist with some Daffodils around it. I thought it would look great on a layout, and this Challenge came up and it was just perfect. 

I added lots of different flowers and embellishments to my layout. Painted some chipboard circles in black paint, and cut out a title with my Heidi Swapp Happy word Die. 

I sprayed Yellow Distress Stain over my page, and then stamped with yellow paint across my page. I added some yellow paint too around the layout. 

I also Embossed up some Blue Fern Chipboard with a Gorgeous Mustard Embossing powder. 

Using a die l cut out several different pattern papers in yellows, black and white, and layered them under my Photo. 

And here is my Finished result. 

Had fun creating my page and entering again with Kraft Plus and their Challenges. 

Thanks for stopping by, 

Happy Creating
