Oh baby (FWAB reveal)

Today I have the full reveal that I shared on the FWAB blog last week. It is a  featuring my daughter when she was a baby, lots of stencils and lots of FWAB!

I created my background using 3 different stencils along with texture paste and inks. I also stamped using a background music stamp and ink. I used some beautiful Prima Anna Maria patterned paper. I cut the doily out with my Silhouette. Then I added lots of flowers and bling.

Here you can see the wonderful shimmer on the FWAB Jasmin Laser Flourish in pale pink.

I also used a FWAB Grace Pearl Flourish in Mango and added individual mango pearls from the 100 adhesive pack to the texture dots on my layout.

Finally, I added a pink  Elise flower , which matched the colours perfectly.

Thanks for looking

Scrap Africa Scrap Challenge No. 23

I loved the sketch this month over at Scrap Africa. In fact it is one I have used before to do a layout of my daughter. 

This time I decided on a male oriented layout. I flipped the sketch 90 degrees.

I have used lots of different types of washi tape and only one piece of patterned paper to mount by photo.

Here are some close ups. Here I have used a PP Flair button.

November Purple Pumpkin sketch challenge

Hello wonderful Purple Pumpkin friends!!!

New month, new sketch, new inspiration !!!

Here is the new romantic sketch by Debbie Burns !!!

And here is my interpretation:

I decided to do a vintage layout using Kaisercraft Sweet Pea. Purple Pumpkin goodies used were some crocheted lace, a green yo yo flower, some pink resin flowers, and a resin cameo and a musical notes flair.

Here are some close ups:

Scrap the Girls Oct Challenge

This month the challenge at Scrap the Girls is a recipe challenge. You have to include:

hexagon, circle, rectangle, strips and a squiggle on your page. 

Here is my take. 

I created another layout using Kaisercraft True Romance. I created hexagons with texture paste through a stencil. I created a circle of pearls. My rectangle is my photo mat and under the photo I have used strips of paper. My squiggle is the bakers twine.

And here's a couple of close ups.

Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday challenge - Tag you're it

This morning I have a very girly layout to share with you. I have teamed up some Kaisercraft True Romance pp with some Purple Pumpkin embellies for the current Frosted Designs challenge using tags. I placed several tags behind my photo and used a tag to include details about the photo plus there was a tag on the patterned paper.

I just rediscovered this photo last week, when I took a photo out of a frame to scan. This was behind it. This was taken of my daughter 15 years ago.

Now for some close ups of my Purple Pumpkin embellies. 

Here I have used a sweet floral fabric button

A cute little fawn fabric button.

A vintage rocking horse flair button, a pink fabric flower and dotted around I have some light pink  twine bows.

I mixed some pink paint with texture paste  and used with  a Kaisercraft template.

Thanks for looking.
