A closer look at my GD page for Scrap Around the World.(And some bragging :-) )

This is the page I made recently as a guest designer for

 Scrap Around the World. 

Inkido was a previous sponsor and we were delighted when Helen asked us to interpret the September mood board. This is such a fun challenge!
I promised I would post some close ups of my page today so here goes .-)

And here is a picture of the mood board and sketch for Gayle's challenge.

Isn't it just gorgeous?!!

 I started out taking inspiration from the stripes (background sheet), the words 'flying' out from the head (my butterflies), the large title (also a quote) and the black and white photo of a person. 

I also did a loose interpretation of the available sketch, picking just a few  of the elements.

 I fussy cut a lot of tiny flowers from one of the sheets in the 'Beautiful Memories' collection.

I believe the flowers are are poppies.

 I picked Inkido's  small butterfly stamp  and combined it with some other butterflies that I cut out. They were all embellished with some bling and pearl stones. Inkido do these in several colours and they are so great to add to all kinds of projects.
 
  I find the internet is such a great source when you are searching for various inspiration, and for
this challenge I decided I needed a good quote. This was just one of several quotes that I found.
 
 After cutting out the words with my Silhouette Cameo I backed them with pink paper, except for the words black and white that I wanted to stand out against the background.

As you can see from this close up I also added some freestyle sewing with my machine. I find it adds a lot of interest without being intrusive or  taking anything away from the design.

Talking of design,.... I was very pleased to finf out this page was a winner in the latest challenge over at Scrap & Music. I have hardly taken part in any challenges lately but that is something I would like to change ,.)

Thanks for checking out my page today. :-)

There is still a lot of time to take part in the challenge at SATW, or why not Sabrinas September challenge at Inkido to use layers and borders?

Hugs!

Winner of my RAK for the Spring Fling hop and a card for baptism.

Hi! Just a quick post today with a card I made for a baptism of a beautiful baby girl last Saturday.

I wanted to have a handmande card, and was able to make one really quick one using some of my scraps and a few embellies. I used the collection 'Beautiful Memories ' from Inkido which has quite a few designs that are perfect for these occations. The baby-image was cut from one of the sheets that has so many of these similar designs. Really quite a perfect supply to have at home if you have many babies 'near you'.

This card is up on the Inkido blog today together with a layout that I shared a few days ago as my contribution to the Scrap 4 Help challenge for March

Scroll down to the previous post if you would like to see more close ups of this one .-)

We also have a challenge at the Inkido blog right now, hosted by Kelly.

Scrap an outdoor photo.

My commenter number 20 is
