The Chase

Another one I did last night for a challenge over at Get Picky which is a challenge website using multiple pictures! I love the look at layouts which only use one picture but in reality I tend to use multiple pictures in my layouts as I hate deciding which ones to choose - I want to scrap them all!

For this one though I needed to use more than one picture because it is about my daughter chasing her sister. they are always chasing one another up and down our hallways. Its one of their favourite things to do! I am really into using doilies at the moment I love the feminine look it gives. Although its an action layout I felt I wanted to highlight the relationship between the sisters more so I kept it quite girly.

I used my Studio Calico Boardwalk kit. I have a pile mile high at home of kits I need to use! The 27th is coming and all the add ons look fab so I am trying to use it all up so I can justify to myself that I can buy them all come next week!

You are my Twinkle

So I loved this technique so much that I decided to create another LO for my other daughter. It is called you are my twinkle because that is her nickname. I made this LO being inspired by the challenge over at GET PICKY. The board had daffodils and lots of yellow. I used a picture taken at Easter lunch this year as it had lots of yellow on there already.
I used papers from MME which I die cut using some new Sizzix flower dies I got, Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers and Brackets die. I then used the flowers to cover the heart with the flowers.
I wanted to see how different it would look using die cut flowers vs. bought flowers (which I used in my previous LO posted here prior to this one)

Clap, Clap

I am getting super addicted to entering Scrappy Challenges this week. I never entered them before until now and now I think they are such good fun!!!! This challenge I found at a blog called Get Picky which is a multi-picture sketch challenge. You have to use more than one photo which is not difficult for me as most of my layouts have more than one picture.
Amongst loads of talented ladies in their design team is Piradee Talvanna (scrapper in me blog) and I am a huge admirer of her work.

I made this layout following their sketch which basically consisted of layering and some clustering. I used Crate Paper Neighbourhood paper, Sassafras Sweetly Smitten and Studio Calico. I had this pink woven material/ribbon which I had not used and I used it for the first time last night (you can see it on the detail) and now I need to remember where I bought it because I want every color! I think it is a great material and added some softness but texture too!

I also had these metal flowers from Peebles which were a bit too white so I painted them with Stickles.
