Just a fun layout I created with some of Graphic 45's On The Boardwalk Papers.
Love these little felt blooms from ZVA!!
Ahhhh - beautiful, orange bling!! ADORE the colours ZVA has introduced with their pearls and crystals.
Because its important to do this when you're a girl... It lifts your spirits, makes you smile and makes you feel like a little kid again. This is a photo of my daughter and I testing out our twirly dresses (mine was totally the winner by far!)
Scrap That's September Kit is just crammed full of shabby chic goodness! I love the vintage feel you get when everything - flowers, paper, butterflies, etc is layered and distressed!
I ended up applying distress paint to the Basic Grey Capella Doily and love how it turned out!
I soooo enjoyed working with Scrap That's! September kit - I had so many papers and embellies left over after creating my 4 layouts that I decided to do a mini album.
Such perfectly soft papers. I loved the muted tones - worked so well with the photos of my daughter in her summer hat and dress.
I handmade these flowers using Vicky's tutorial on the Scrap That! forum. So easy.
I just hand cut out two 5 petal blooms and then misted with Shimmerz Spritz and gently twisted the ends of each petal with tweezers. Once dry, I layered the two on top of one another and finished with the petal centres.
The butterflies I used were printed out on a piece of cardstock and fussy cut. Lori will be putting the 'butterfly file' on the Scrap That! forum so you can help yourself and print them out for your own projects!
Such sweet little bows - perfect for a mini album page.
Adore the package of canvas tags that came with the kit. Such a unique texture - works wonderfully with the worn feel of the papers.
The kit also comes with 2 awesome scallop oval chipboard frames. I inked and applied distress stickles (included in the kit) for a sparkle so amazing.
The blooms were fussy cut out of a piece of patterned paper and then I lightly painted the insides of the petals and finished by outlining with a brown journaling pen. Thanks for stopping by today! Be back tomorrow with some more scrappy goodies!!
Here is the second layout I created with the September Kit from Scrap That! Adore this photo of my dh and ds. He is such a snuggle bum. After running around the entire evening with his brother, he was pooped! What better place to rest than in dad's lap?
Yummy fabric tags from The Shabby Green Door and some amazing blooms. I did a lot of distressing on this layout as well as you can see by the paper edges on the bottom.
LOTS of fussy cutting as well. I liked the delicate feel of the cut out flowers against the 3D blooms. Originally white, they stood out a little too well so I simply painted and finished by outlining with black pen. I added a doily (just can't help myself) and painted with distress crackle paint - love the antique effect it gives.
Thanks for stopping by today. Will be back tomorrow with a mini album!!

I actually added the doilies and butterflies from my stash but otherwise, everything you see is kit!
Some gorgeous blooms - I hand painted some of the smaller brown roses with crackle paint and hand painted the swirls with 3D paint over a transparency sheet.
There is so much awesome ribbon in this kit. I misted this ricrac with Shimmerz Spritz. Can you also see the amazing fabric tag? LOVED these!

A whole lotta 'extra' blooms I had in my stash...
8x8 paper pad, velvet leaves, more flowers, alphas, etc.
Some gorgeous Petaloo blooms, bling and brads.
Halfway done his pizza he shouts - "ow! my tooth feels crooked!" sure enough - a lose tooth and 2 adult teeth waiting to make an appearance!
Just a titch happy...
Princess Chocolate Face...
Not a chocolate fan at all....
I was feeling quite 'Martha' so decided to make his cake this year - he's into Lego Star Wars so thought an R2D2 cake would be fitting. You like?! Round 2 tonight. Family only - phew!
Wow - he was about 18 months in this photo - can't believe it!! Seems like just yesterday.....
Forever my 'baby'... taken today.

Just something simple to share today. For whatever reason, I love this photo of my kids. Its not very clear, the subjects are quite small and hard to see - but nonetheless, I love it. They're all walking along this barron path - together, but at their own pace. My eldest son leading, as he often does, with my yongest son following closely behind. My daughter is quite a ways back - but still very much apart of the journey, following along in her brothers' footsteps.
Some yummy bling from ZVA Creative!! Seriously sticks to EVERYTHING (including me when I'm trying to place it just perfectly)!!
I distressed the papers and layered several times as I felt the frame had a naturally antique look. I then framed the photo with some blue to hilight the beautiful Icy Blossoms and to pick up the hues in the photo.
It was one afternoon in our backyard, just the two of us as her brothers were still napping, that we walked all around and smelled every single flower we could find. The hydrangeas, the dandilions, the buttercups, the clovers... I love this shot of her. She looks like holly hobby (remember her)?
I used some gorgeous self adhesive pearls in soft pink from ZVA Creative as well as their Icy Blossoms and Sweet Blossoms.
