SonShine

Happy midweek everyone...


Now onto my layout i would love to share with you today I designed this for my Purple Pumpkin Post...

I was playing around with some Kaiser Papers that were released last month, the colours were really not my norm but I love what I came up with, and I hope you do too...

I titled it 'You are the Son-shine of my life' cos my lil Fletchy is....

He always has something funny to say to cheer me up, and his hugs are extra special :)

Above and below, show how I used the Large Owl Buttons, i love these buttons they are so cute, they look fab on this Kiaser wooden birdcage.

I have used a denim/red floral button that i received in a Purple Pumpkin pack ages ago, I thought the colours of it worked well with this paper.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your week...

thanks for looking XXX

Sometimes Angels Come Without Wings

Over on the Stick n Giggle Blog Jody has put up an awesome sketch challenge for this month.

Here is the sketch:

This is my take on the sketch...

This is a layout of my Niece Mia, is is sooo cute, about a week old in this pic. I titled the layout 'Sometimes angels come without wings' cos to me she is such a beautiful little angel. I have used Kaisercraft Lullaby papers, doilies and some purple pumpkin embellishments.

Now for some close ups....

This is a flower i love to make using my sewing machine, i finished it off with a Purple Pumpkin pink spotty button, i think it works well with the layout...

Here is a close up of a doily I used, i placed the image of the pink pram in the center



This is a felt and button flower from Purple Pumpkin, i thought the soft colours went really well with this kaisercraft collection.

Send in the clowns

Today I would love to share with you the layout I did for my Purple Pumpkin post.

I created a double page layout (something i dont do very often!!!)

Andy and Fletcher were in the same class in 2010 and the theme for the term was "circus" so on one of the days htey had to dress up as a clown....so i took some pics (well almost 50 on the day) and this is one layout i have created with the photos from the day.

you cant really see the detail as well in this large image so i will break it down for you.... 

 Left hand side layout using Echo Park papers and some purple pumpkin embellishments

 This is a close up of the circle/star embellishment sitting on top of a folded rosette, it adds dimension to the layout.

Recipe Challenge on The Lounge

This weekend has been busy over at Scrap Lounge with their first Cyber Crop for 2012
The theme was 'holidays'.
As a CT member I got to choose a challenge to set, so i chose a recipe challenge

The Recipe:

• One page layout
• Use 2 patterned papers
• 2 coloured cardstock
• 3 buttons
• Paint
• Recycled object
• 2 photos (any size)

 My layout:

 This photo is of my boys when we went to Point Look out in North Stradbroke Island, the view was amazing, a very beautiful place to visit.

And a close up of the Layout

I wanted to have the illusion of the sun so used a small yellow Doily, and as it was a lil cloudy that day the blue clouds tied in perfectly with the colour scheme of the layout, I also used a navy blue spotted button

I have used this spotted yo yo flower with button, the colours just went so well with everything on the layout.

And a close up of my recycle object (cardboard box) and a cool treasure chest button i found marked down at spotlight
