SOUS 19

Here is my interpretation of Sketch # 19 over at SOUS - www.stuckonusketches.blogspot.com


Here is the sketch by Becky Fleck of Pagemaps.....




We were also to use four different papers - I have used papers and embellishments by Little Yellow Bicycle....

This is one of my all time favourite collections - Love Letters.....

Photo's are from December last year, when daughter and I took the girls to Christmas Carols in the Park.....

And, I haven't used Cricut - I'm currently working on a Heritage Mini Book for Scrappy Go Lucky and felt like a wee break from Cricut when doing this layout.....

This next layout is from a class I attended at one of my LSS's - Just Scrapbooking.....

I love the texture on the tree and the layering of the flowers from Crate Paper - you can just tell it isn't one of my creations.....

So, that's me for now - back to my Heritage Book and Cricut.....

See you soon.....

Hugs.....

SOUS Challenge 18

This week over at SOUS www.stuckonusketches.blogspot.com the sketch is by Becky Fleck and we were to add bling - here is my take.....



The sketch.....

Papers are Bo Bunny 'St Nick' collection, and the title is from the same collections cardstock sticker sheet.....

I cut the mat for the photo at 8" (doesn't look so nice cut at this bigger size) from A Child's Year.....

The bling Bauble is Kaiser, and I think the silver trim on the ribbon looks very blingy.....

Photograph is darling little Emma - No 3 Granddaughter - on Christmas Day, with the Toy Box from Granny and Grumpy (aka me and hubby) - the look on her face is a picture.....

I looked up the word bemused - just to make sure it was appropriate for the page - "perplexed by many conflicting situations or statements; filled with bewilderment. Perplexed. Baffled. Bewildered and confused"

Suits this photo perfectly.....

Thanks for looking....

Hugs.....
