SUNFLOWER DREAMING

 Hello again all my lovelies. 

I have surprised myself and managed to get my blog post done for this month, I know, shock of shocks.

For this month I have two beautiful pages featuring my absolutely gorgeous little neighbour, again, Alaina. Her mother had a photo shoot done in a sunflower field and the pics are just breathtaking.

For this page I inked some leaves in a green and swiped a brown around the edges for some depth. The two hearts had the same brown ink on the skinny heart and a nice beige, very close to the colour of her dress, used on the fuller heart.

PRODUCTS USED

CB1115 Leaves 01 White 

CB1071 Hearts 04 - Raw

CT125 Little Miss Personality- Black

LL007 15mm White polyester lace

6mm Champagne Craft Gems

The second page is probably my favourite, this photo shows her beautiful face with just a hint of sunshine on it.

The stencil, lace, scrap words and bling were just perfect, the doorway was inked, painted with crackle paint and cut in half to help frame the pic.

Next is a lovely photo of my bestie Kim taken at Rustic Nature, Neville, when we were at the November Scrapmatts Retreat. 

I used a limited edition title for this that was only available for those who attended plus a couple of other pieces all inked in the same colour.

The other pieces I used were leftovers from other packs but you could use whatever you wanted.

Thanks for looking, until next time.

Hi everyone

I'm back again with two more layouts from our trip to Europe last year.

We finished our trip in England spending a couple of days with hubby's cousin and uncle.  They live in a small village north of London.  Who can resist a drink at the local pub along the way.

My next layout is a simple double page layout of the Plaza de Espana in Seville.  This was built for the World Fair in 1928.

 Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a very happy Christmas and New Year.  Hopefully you were able to find some time to have a rest and some creative time.

My two layouts today are from our recent trip to Spain and Portugal.

We went to a Flamenco show in Seville - the home of Flamenco.  One of the benefits of going on a tour is that the tour manager knows the best places to go.  This is her favourite!

My favourite city that we visited is Porto in Portugal. We joined everyone else on the bridge for the sunset.  Worth the effort.  Another one of my favourites is Orange.  Just had to put them both together!

Selfies

Hi everyone

With everyone busy getting ready for Christmas and the holidays, I hope you put aside some time (probably after Boxing Day) to refresh the soul by doing some creating.

In September Hubby and I did a tour of Spain & Portugal.  We then stopped in the UK to visit family.  We had such a wonderful time although very busy.

I think the only time we take selfies is when we are on holidays!

My first layout was done for the White with 1 challenge in November - yes you picked it! It was green.  What perfect inspiration for this photo of our first day in Madrid.  I just so happened to be wearing a green t-shirt.

Another Selfie layout!  This time we are in Granada looking across to the Alhambra.  

This is quite a simple layout for me.  No stencilling, but have used a fabulous Scrapmatts title and flourish.  This was another November challenge, this time from Soul Scrappers Challenges.

Wishing you a very happy Christmas, however you celebrate.  Have fun with your family and friends.

Until next time
