Scraps of Elegance sponsoring SATW, and a feature at Scrapbook.com

I am lucky to be guesting the popular challenge site Scrap Around The World not one but TWO times this month! This time I have a sweet page to share that I made as part of the DT of Scraps of Elegance who are one of the sponsors of the  .............celebration.

This is the pretty mood board that we were given as inspiration:

In the photograph my colours turned out a little darker than those in the mood board, but I think that is ok as the board is for inspiration.

Here is a short pictoral description of how I made the page.

 And here are the usual close ups of the details. I love this photo. It was taken of my middle daughter when she was a couple of years old and she will actually be 20 next birthday :-) 

We had chicks in the garden and it was so much fun to see the joy on my three girls' faces! .-)

I used mostly the April kit from my fave kit club Scraps of Elegance for this page. The papers are by Bo Bunny and Glitz, and the red paper inside the trellies is by Papirdesign.

 To add texture I used a mask with gesso and a similar trellis pattern cut with one of my new Sizzix dies. I love the versatility of those dies. Here I have cut them out, glued them to a red backing paper and then cut around the shapes for added interest.

You can find the dies HERE

Even the red flowers were made using a die from Sizzix die. (Tattered florals by Tim Holtz) HERE

 I used letterstickers from Prima for my title and the splatters are made with mist.

I hope you enjoyed my page!

This morning I woke up to a nice notification that my recent page for Inkido called 'Milan Trip'
had been picked for the new feature called  'Layouts we Love'



You can see all the features on the Scrapbook.com blog HERE.

Have a lovely day!!

My final pages using Scraps of Elegance April kit.

Ok so another month has come to an end and I will share my last page with the SOE lit 'Flutter' 

and also reveal the two pages that you so far only saw sneaks of here on my blog. 

(These have been shown at SOE and also on the Sizzix UK blog before.)

Link to Scraps of Elegance HERE.

Alright,.....here we go! (There will be lots of pictures so I'll keep the words to a minimum!)

 The first page uses a lot of BoBunny 'Primrose'  

 I also used the Sizzix die 657177 Mini paper rosettes here. 

It is a fun die to use on all kinds of projects!

 Flowers are Prima and Petaloo.

The next pages were both done for the Sizzix UK blog and of course also using the awesome kit from Scraps of Elegance.

You can see the first of these two HERE to read all about the Sizzix products I have used.

The Flutter kit from Scraps of Elegance is one of my faves so far. So full of great embellies too!

The following one was posted on the Sizzix blog just this Sunday and you can see the post HERE
to find out what dies I have used.

 I love this photo of my sister and our cute nephew who will be four just now. He is a ray of sunshine!

  I used the Tattered florals die here for the first time, and I must say I am totally SOLD on it!
It is so fun to use and turns out so beautifully! These flowers were made using one of
the patterned papers from Bo Bunny in the kit.

I also love the daisy flowers that I have used on here. They are acytually a present from my sister who is in the photo and some of her favourites, too.

 That's all for now. Cudos to you if you had the stamina to see this post to the end......

Now this Labour Day is also soon to an end, but the weekend is coming soon, so at least we have 

that to look forward too. :-)

Hugs!!
