Flowery Card

I did this card for the 13 Arts challenge, it had quite a few items that needed to be included: pink and aqua colors, yes, from Prima Divine papers; 5 handmade flowers, yes, from my Spellbinders Bitty Blossom die and my MFT rolled flower die; a photo of flower, yes, I doublechecked with Bellaidea and my girl with her hands and hair full of flowers was ok; and finally, sewing...I used my machine to stitch around the edge of the card. I would also love to enter this in the Pastel challenge at Docerela Stamps.

Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge - Chevrons

I'm excited to be posting my first reveal as a DT member for Frosted Designs!! This challenge's theme - CHEVRONS!  I am on the Monday inspiration blog posts, so my Friday inspiration you will see on a Monday!!

I used the fabulous paper collection from 13 Arts called Frosted Life, a part of the yummy kit I got in January from Scraps of Elegance. There are lots of Prima wood embellishments and a mix of Prima and Manor House flowers. The wood letters are from Pink Paislee. I used a bit of cheesecloth to give texture in the flower cluster and modeling paste and a circles mask for some background texture as well. I really enjoyed working on this and seeing that cute photo of my little girl looking back at me!!

I based this layout on the great sketch over at My Creative Sketches, love it!

The challenge runs until 14 March so why not join us!! There is even a prize up for grabs - a $20 gift voucher to spend at The Paper Trail! Wow!!

I Love You

So excited to say this layout was featured at Sketchabilities!!

In our January Scraps of Elegance kit we received the 13 arts collection called Frosted Life. These papers have amazing textures and colors and I really enjoyed working with them. I decided to do this layout for the 13 arts love challenge and the Berry Bleu White Space challenge. I have also used a Sketchabilities sketch.

In the tags behind the photo I journal about my passion for my family and the place we are raising them here in Ireland. I feel lucky to be here and to have such a supportive husband and great (though trying!!) kids!! (Do they ever stop bickering, I hear not!!) I am doing this for Another Freaking Scrap Challenge!!
