Laugh

Hello there,

Today I did a page for Let's Get Sketchy using their sketch and learning to use triangles in my work.

I had fun with this sketch and came up with this page,
 A fun photo from our family photo shoot. I thought the triangles would give it the perfect playful feel and I'm happy how it all turned out. I didn't distress the edges of my triangles so that they would blend and be part of the background. The paper range I used was Amy Tangerine-Rise and Shine, one of my favourite papers. 
I can't seem to complete a page without a flower cluster☺︎. I kept this one small and simple to go with the clean, fresh feel I wanted to create.

Thank you for popping by.

A moment in Time

Hello,

I have a page today for the mood board challenge at Scrap the Boys which I found to be fun colours for a boy's page.

I happened to be going through old photos looking to see if there were any I had missed and come across this gorgeous one of my boy many years younger☺︎. It's always special coming across old photos.

 I like making my boy pages in a bit of a grungy style so lots of background stamping and this page also has close up misting with texture paint circles. Arrows and circles are great for a boy. The papers for this page I received in a prize kit and fitted perfectly with the mood board.

Close up of my background I created. Most of the background stamps I used are from Kaiser craft.  The enamel circles were part of the paper kit I used.

Thanks for popping past.

My Girl

Hello,
I am a little bit late this month as time got away with me and I spent a camping weekend with family, but here is my DT page for ARTastic this month using this fun painting as inspiration.

Criteria along with this inspiration is to use wood veneer

My main background paper is from Kaisercraft which I've bordered with plain dark brown. My wood veneer is the banner across the top which I have stamped with a script stamp. I have used the colours from the painting and of course I had to add an owl in☺︎

I have also used a wooden veneer flower in my cluster. The words I have used are from a background stamp which I then fussy cut the words.

We are enjoying the many entrants that are joining in with our challenges, feel welcome to join in as well, we would love to see your take on the challenge.
