Fall Layout- Berry 71 Bleu

For my November giveaway press here

This month Its Bellaidea's turn to host the Berry71Bleu challenge.

and she chose something crazy and amazing!!

She decided to break some rules and have lots of fun!

For this challenge there is only one criteria - 

FORGET ABOUT MODERATION AND GO CRAZY!

Do something the way you have never done before. 

Mix together bold or unusual colours , add texture

& unusual embellishments.

 

 

Here is my layout and although I used lots of mixed media I didn't go as crazy as Bellaidea did!

I did though try a new fun technique I've never tried before. I also did something different by accident lol! For the first time ever, I forgot to put a title on my layout!! I had this blog post all ready to go when I noticed,  so I guess that's what's meant to be!!

 

I used a beautiful flowery napkin and cut out the flower and the leaves. Once I separated the layers of the napkin I glued them on the page with Gel medium both under and over to seal it in like decoupage.

 

The amazing thing is that they are a bit translucent and add a beautiful layer on the page.

 

 

The beautiful flourish border is from Scrap FX and you can buy it and lots of other amazing Products from Scrap Fx and Manorhouse Creations at Zeus & Zoe Etsy store

 

 

The papers are from 7 Dots Studios Domestic Goddess collection which I love. The large flower is Zva.

 

 

I used the sketch challenge from Ces't Magnifique for November

look how beautiful it is designed my their new sketch designer Michelle Singh

 

 

 

 

 

Bellaidea also left this image as an inspiration to go crazy. You can do your own crazy thing or get inspired by this image.

Sweet Life- Bird is the Word

For my November giveaway please press here.

A new word is revealed for Bird is the Word and its an easy one to use

I used a couple collections from Webster's Pages and half a chipboard frame from 2 Crafty.

The hot air ballooons are from the Park Drive collection of WP. The yellow flowers ar MHC and the cute fluffy flowers are from a hair elastic I bought at the dollar store. They had cute little hearts on them and matched perfectly.

The chipboard frame is the other half of the 11" Round Flourish Frame from 2 Crafty that I used a few weeks ago on another layout. I love cutting these large chipboard pieces as I can then use them on more than one layout. I simply inked it with Orange fluid chalk

Here I journaled about the life I hope my son will have!! Its tucked backwards under the layout.

Materials Used

Papers: Webster's Pages: Park Drive and In Love

Trim: Webster's Pages

Alphas and jouranling tag: Webster's Pages

Scalloped frame: Pink Paisley

Flowers: MHC and dollar store

Soul Bonding- Scrap For Help

For my November giveaway press here

Welcome to my blog!!

We still have not seen the sun!!

Its been raining for a week but I'm in good spirits and ready to show you my new reveal for Scrap for Help

The item to use this month is Music Sheet Paper.

I made this layout about the soul connection my daughter has with horses!! She loves animals so much but horses, dogs and bunnies are her favourite. She has a bond with them like no other person I know.

I used lots of scrap paper from many different companies. Basically I had lots of different brown shaded papers and I combined them all.

The beautiful flower is from Manorhouse Creations and underneath some Recollection flowers from Michaels.

The Chipboard of course is from 2 Crafty and I simply inked them with Fluid Chalk from Prima. The pieces I used are from the Horse riding pack and Fay's flourishes 

You see that curled up looking bark? That's actually bark from a tree with dirt and all.

I used some raffia for texture under some areas.

For the background, I actually tore some strips of music paper, inked the edges and glued them on the page. Then using my brown fluid chalk ink, I masked bricks all over the page with the Crafter's Workshop brick template.

Materials used

Papers: Recollections, BoBunny, Creative Imaginations, 7 Gypsies

Flowers: Manorhouse Creations, Recollections

Chipboard: 2 Crafty

Raffia, Bark

 Fluid chalk ink: Dark Bark and Shabby tote

Mask: Crafter's workshop

Tag: Creative bags

wooden flowers: Deja Views

Alphas: Melody Ross and Websters Pages

Thank you so much for visiting my blog.
