Make Today Count

Hi Everyone

This layout is the layout you do when you don't want to add flowers

Once again I used 49 & Market paper (Sweet Reflections - Singing the Blues paper). 

First I ripped the flower off the page and then turned the page around so that ripped part was on the bottom. 

In line with the photo I wanted to show the earth tones on the bottom of the page - this was done with corrugated cardboard and lots of hessian.  

I gave the page some texture with the wonder stencil from Darkroom Door along with a little stamping of stitching across the back. 

Behind the photo I have used Tim Holtz paper to cut strips and die cut shapes.  To finish it all off I added the little badge and some metal shapes like the car and arrow. 

Traveling Little Boy Blue

I love making pages for my grandchildren and I use the pages I make to highlight the little rascal my Grandson is growing up to be.
This page I am entering into the July Scrap The Boys Challenge
Go and check out the wonderful blogspot that I found - it has some wonderful inspirational pages

I have used paper from 49 & Market and then sprayed with a pale blue and used a travel stamp to highlight the theme of the page. 

The Flowers are also 49 & Market which have been highlighted with a little blue ink. 

The accessories I have used all have that the travel theme with the compass, bicycle and little car. 

This has been a joy to make and came together very easy - I think it is mainly because of the inspiration in the photo. 

Friends Forever

Hi Everyone

With Mother's Day on my mind I thought I would put together a page representing the love of motherhood. 

Although my mother has now passed this photo reminds me of the close friendship we had, and the close friendship I now have with my daughter and I hope that this friendship will continue forward with her child. 

For this page I used 49 & Market paper Sweet Reflections pack and I used the Reminiscene paper. which I ripped down one side and turned it around to add more flowers down the side.  

Of course no layout wouldn't be complete without lots of lace and a pretty doily. 

The flowers I used are a mixture of 49 & Market flowers and Little Birdie - I wanted small ones to just complete the page off.
