123 Challenge - September challenge

 Hello crafty friends - hope you had a lovely weekend ☺  Last week I made some time to do the challenge over at the 123 Challenge Blog - I loved the look of their latest challenge - fun, pretty and pink and I've even managed that on a boys page ☺
Here is their September challenge:

 

COLOUR: PINK
WORD: SWEET
TECHNIQUE: FLORALS

 ... and here is my take on the challenge ....

 I had recently taken these photo's of my youngest picking some strawberries from our garden.  They fit in well with the challenge requirements.
I've used all-sorts from my stash - some pop up flower by Sassafrss (older line), Glitz Papers and some embellishments from my collection. ☺
Here are some close-up's:

 A cluster of flowers - I still had some of these paper foldies by Sassafrass - oh they were great and I'm glad I got to use them on this page.

 Lots of pink tucked into the page ☺

And the title of course .... sweet strawberries ....... using some little Glitz letters.

Check out the 123 challenge blog - they would love to have more participants for their challenges otherwise they may be closing it down ..... that would be a shame :(

Thanks so much for coming by to visit ♥

Back again to share another challenge - this one is for the 123 challenge:

Colour: Fuschia

Word - Fresh or Free

Technique: - Frills or Fraying

and here's what I've created for this fun challenge:

 This kind of colour gave me a good excuse to do a girly page ☺
For my background I used ink and spotted it over my page - then I used bubble wrap to soak up some of the excess colour and also create the patterned background.
I've added in frayed muslin and also some frilled pink doily trim!
Here are some close-up's:

 ... a cluster of flowers - hand-made pink burlap flowers by me, Kaisercraft blooms, Manor house cream flower and canvas flowers from Basic Grey ...

... using the word 'fresh' in my title - little letters by Kaisercraft ...

... close details of the background and some of the Kaisercraft Sparklets in Crimson - these are so cute!!

That's it for me now!!  Stayed tuned for some previews of the doilies that will be in my sale.
