Playing along at Stuck!

I found some free time, or rather l made some time away from work, and played around with the current sketch over at Stuck!

Here is my take
 
Papers and embellishments are from a kit l bought through Frosted Designs. This is the first time l have bought one of their kits and it was full of goodies.
I have misted the background with Chalkboard glimmer mist and then added my layers. The lettering l had in my stash and l added some liquid pearls to some of the paper strips for a bit of added texture.
 
Here are some close ups
 

 
This is the sketch to follow
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day :)

Spring is here! Every day l wake to the smell of Jasmine that is growing along the fence, it really has a beautiful perfume.

This week there is a new sketch up at Lets Get Sketchy by the talented Laura Whitaker.
Here is my take
I have masked the circle shapes and inked once dry. The cute little chipboard owl is from Prima and l inked this as well.
Here are a couple of close ups



This is the sketch to follow, l hope you can play along:

2 Days to Spring

What a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky, not too hot, not too cold.
Spring is almost here, so l thought l would scrap a photo of some flowers. These were in the lobby of a hotel l stayed in, the colours were beautiful.

 
I started with orange ink splatters on the white background and built the page from there
 

 A mixture of Prima flowers including a vintage trinket that l added a brad to the centre
Layered papers with distressed edges under my photo.

Well l'm going to enjoy the sunshine before l have to work this afternoon. I hope it's a nice day in your part of the world as well!

August is almost over!

Another month has almost gone, spring will soon be upon us!
Today is a new reveal over at Lets Get Sketchy.
I've done a layout to remember Tom's last day of year 12 and  here it is

I've stuck to the sketch for this one, using papers from My Minds Eye.
Actually everything on this page has been sitting in my stash for quite some time!
The dots are tapes from Heidi Swapp and the letters and embellishments are by Pink Paislee.

Here is the sketch to follow, l hope you can play along with us this week.

Happy Monday

It's Team B reveal this week at Let's Get Sketchy, come on over and see the great layouts the design team have done.
Here is my layout.

 
I have used the Summer Bliss Collection from Echo Park, which was the June main kit from My Creative Scrapbook. What a gorgeous bright collection this is, which perfectly suited my summer picture taken at Waikiki last year.
Here are some close ups
I crackled the orange chipboard circle and the thongs are a sticker which l raised

Hello Friday!

Todays layout is a picture of a chocolate fountain. My kids would love one of these in our house!

I have layered up papers from FabScraps and distressed the edges.
I found some die cuts in my stash and some older brads and used these, as well as some Prima flowers.
Thanks for looking and have a great day:)
