Marilyn's mood board is fashion based, as Marilyn herself is a Fashion Designer
& all her work is influenced by beautiful paper folding & drapery as in her clothing
designs. There are so many different colour & style options here!
The possibilities are endless!! Remember you only need to be inspired
by ONE image or many, up to YOU! And you don't need to follow all the
colours or ANY of them if necessary. The world is your oyster at Scrap
Around The World! Just let us know how you were inspired unless it
is glaringly obvious :)
To be eligible for judging you need to follow our 10 Golden Rules
HERE, which include:- 1) Sharing the mood board image.
2) Mentioning Scrap Around The World {in full - not just
SATW} & LINKING BACK to the current challenge.
3) Mentioning HOW you were inspired by our mood board,
UNLESS IT IS EXTREMELY OBVIOUS!
4) Linking back to your SATW blog post NOT YOUR ENTIRE BLOG.
Obviously to me I saw beauty in this board and thought immediately of a photo I had of my youngest daughter Jessie. Jessie is a new mom and thinks she looks horrid now as there is no time for makeup, manis or pedis! I tell her how beautiful she is all the time but you know how it is when you're a new mom!
Used this lace sticker from Prima as my title as it said all I wanted BEAUTIFUL! I sprayed it with some Lindy's Stamp Gang Mist (Salt Water Taffy). The papers are a combo of Blue Fern's Ombre Dreams and Prima's Princess line. Thought the two birds looked adorable peeking out.
Flower cluster a combo of Prima and Petaloo flowers and some Blue Fern chippies.
Tried to use more texture and techniques with this layout. I used a new Prima mask I just got called Flowers and with a little moulding paste added these flowers. To bring out the pink of Jessie's lipstick a little I colored the flowers in with another Lindy's mist called Peony Scarlet Red.You can see some of the stamping I did around the page using various stamps. I cut my papers into various tag shapes and tucked them behind my photo.
More texture paste different mask! Prima's circle mask. This time I added some Liquitex Glass Beads in with the moulding paste for more of a textured look. I then added some of Prima's Say it in Crystal pebbles in between. (I love these!!!). The pink "objects" actually came from one of my husband's Harley Davidson orders! It was used to help package the item in the box. He brought it to me and asked if I could use it! How cool is that? So I sprayed them with mist and added them to the page. Just goes to show you what you can use as embellishments on your layouts!
The same pattern on the bottom left to add balance. Here you can see some of the hand stitching I did. And that ladies and gents is my layout for this month! Now a taste of some of the amazing prizes you can win!!

I know this was an incredibly long post so I'll make this short. I've been absent from my blog for awhile. Things have been difficult for my family as of late and we are muddling thru. As a result I have been involved in alot of "support" and damage repair but am hoping that now things have sorted themselves out and I can regain my momentum. In fact I want to push myself harder than ever so hang in there and I'll try not to disappoint! All the best and have an awesome weekend!
