Hello and Happy New Year to you all!!! WOW, it's been a little while since I've been here, so it feels a little strange coming back and writing my first post for 2014. It was also good to be away for a little while and enjoy some holiday time with my family. Now we are back and I'm feeling ready and (hopefully) inspired to create again ☺
This year, I'm happy and excited to be continuing on with
The Scrapbook Store - sharing their fabulous products and working on the DT.
As well as sharing my DT work, I have a few other things in mind to share too .......
But first I want to share this layout that I created late last year and didn't get around to sharing as yet.
I took this picture at the beginning of Summer on a perfect calm day when we went boating and snorkelling. Living by the sea - we would have to say that coming into Summer is our favourite
time!!
So I've used some assorted papers and embellishments that I had in my stash. I've added in stamping and some texture paste.
I really wanted to share with you the cute stamps that I've used on this page - they are by
Lawn Fawn and available at The Scrapbook Store. This set is called Blue Skies!!
Here are some close-up's:
I always like to include a decent amount of journal work in my pages - this year I hope to focus on that even more and really tell the story for my boys ☺
I've got some texture work and lots of fun embellishments, including some
WOW wood veneers - Word Speech Bubbles. Super cute!!
'blue skies are ahead' stamp is part of the Lawn Fawn stamp set - I love that cursive font.
Here I've done some paper piecing with the cloud and balloon stamp - such a fun way to add some interest to the page - and these stamps are great for this technique because they have easy lines to fussy cut.
The title
'nothings better' is by Fancy Pants - Artists Edition - I've coloured in using my
Molotow Marker pen - Lagoon Blue Pastel. Then I've inked and stamped to add more interest. The paint marker covers the wood nicely and gives a nice matt finish.
And lastly I've added in one of my own crochet hearts ☺
I hope you have enjoyed this page.
This month I'm working with two collections for
The Scrapbook Store:
My Minds Eye - Lost and Found - Record It and
Simple Stories - Daily Grind. I can't wait to share some inspiration using these fantastic collections.
Hope to be back soon ♥
