Dance with Your Heart

Hello,
I had a slow day scrapbooking today, while recovering from the flu☹. My two girls also have it and it's been couch days for the last week. But we are getting there and today I felt like achieving something, even if it was a scrapbook page and not the vacuuming☺︎.
I loved the sketch challenge at Show Us Your Stuff and have actually been wanting to make a page like this for a while so it was perfect.

My page;

I did a lot of stamping for my background and then concentrated on the 'strip' photo background. I had just bought a scrapbook kit so it all came together nicely. My handmade items are the crochet trim and handmade buttons. I love the height and texture they give to a page.

Thank for popping by.

Love for Fishing

Now that I have my computer back, I can post the page I made for the sketch challenge at Scrap The Girls this month.

My page;

I first splattered water colour paint on my background before using a flower stamp over top. Then to add a bit of texture I included texture paint chevrons.

I backed the photo with papers and homemade tags and embellished with a flower cluster☺︎.

Thanks for popping by.

Special Dad Moment

Hello. I am running late this month with my DT page for ARTastic as I lost my computer for a bit, but, today I'm here with our special challenge for ARTastic. A tribute to the Dads out there, with September holding Father's Day here in Australia, and using this painting as our inspiration;

For my page I chose the colours from the water and boat and couldn't resist using back and white spot paper from the dog.

My background was created my spraying my page with water and then spraying blue ink on top and letting it run dry. After it was dry, I smudged purple water colour paint before using background stamps to finish off my page. With a busy background, I kept my papers and embellishments to a minimum.

Wishing everyone another month of fun scrapbooking and please feel free to join in the ARTastic challenge this month.
