Now to what I have been doing. The first layout was from a sketch challage from scrapbooking haven (click here http://scrapbookinghaven.ning.com/events/april-sketch-challenge ) The sketch was from a layout that Marissa Page had done. My take is....
I just love this photo of Geoff and Iona. I found it hard as I don't normally use so many flowers and it took me ages to stick them done. The white flowers were from spotlight and are in a bunch. Due to looking silly if I laid them on the side, I used my eyelet settler to make a hole in the paper and put the stalks in and tape at the back to hold. The Big green one is prima and the rest is the new flowers from kasiercraft.
The next one is of Sophie at Australia Day Breakfast in Denmark. It was also the day Geoff became an Aussie!!!
I am just starting to get into the Glimmer Mist after not liking it when it first came out. I have found that it 'lifts' the plain cardstock without overpowering the page with tooo much pattern paper.
Last one is one that I wanted to do for ages but could not work out how to make it look its best
Everytime I look at these photos I get a giggle lol :)
The paper I have no idea were it came from but it went well with the photos. The Kasiercraft letters I inked, then embossed with Opals embossing enamels. It still needed something so I drawed from flowers in pink on them.
I have also (thanks to seeing Marissa Page to it to one of her layouts) matt my coloured photos with black paper as it really helps to make them stand out.
Thanks for looking
Belinda :)
