April Mood Board Reveal at Black With 2!

 

Happy April Fool's Day

 everyone!

 

Reveal Day

 at

 Black With 2.

 

What a luscious Mood Board

 we have for you to play

 with this month.

 

 

A great sketch.

The word "inspiration"

The colours - Mulberry & Lime

All on a black background.

 

My interpretation.....

A stunning photo I took in

my front garden last

August.

 

A Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly

 on a stunning

 Buddleia Bush

 - true inspiration for my layout!

 

I hand cut all the little flowers

 after stamping them with a

 Heartfelt Creations stamp

 "Posy Patch Flowers"

 

The butterfly and verse are

 from an

 Inque Boutique stamp set

 "Flutter By, Butterfly" - perfect!

 

The frame around the photo is from

Spellbinders

"Branching Out".

Their centres are

 KindyGlitz

"Crystalina".

The wide lime organza ribbon

 has been in my stash forever.

 

 Never thought I would actually

use it! But everything has

 its time - if you wait

 long enough!

 

A Kaiser Sparklet

 "Princess"

 to the centre of the bow.

The papers are from Fancy Pants "Crush" (2007)

and Daisy D's "Maybe Baby" ( 2008).

 

Everything has its time....lol!

Lace from stash.

Quite delighted with this layout.

 I usually only scrap family

 photo's. Everything just came

 together with this one.

 

Happy scrapper!

 

Now, head on over to the

 Black With 2 Blog

 and see what my fellow DT

girls have done with

this stunning

Mood Board.

 

Remember, there are prizes

 every month for the winners

 of our monthly challenge.

 

See you over there.

Hello...

 

Welcome...

 

Sketch Reveal Day

 at

 Stuck On U Sketches...

 

And a beautiful photo of

 my 33 year old

daughter.....

 

Seems like only yesterday!

 



The fabulous sketch

 from our

 Leah...

 



 

Papers are from

Kaiser

 "Bundle of Joy"



Loving how the bunting

 turned out - too cute!

The wee flourishes are

 from a

Tattered Lace die

 "Ornamental Rose"

which I cut apart.

Crochet doily, roses,

twine, and the wee heart trinket, 

on the tag, from my stash.

Another wee piece of the

Tattered Rose die cut on the tag,

along with the heart trinket.

I thought it was about time

 I did a layout of my daughter

 as a baby.

 

She is six weeks old here.

 

 Her Christening,

 on my first Mother's Day

 - treasured memory!

Remember, if you take

 part in any of our

 challenges over at

Stuck On U Sketches

 in March,

 you are in the running to win

 this month's prize from

Creative Embellishments.

So, head on over to

 SOUS, and join

 in the fun!

 

See you there....

SOUS Sketch Reveal

Welcome!

 

Sketch Reveal Day

 over at

Stuck On U Sketches.

 

I have been so time poor

this month, but I won't

 bore you with all the details,

 just lucky I managed to

get this layout done

 in time.

So not like me.

 

Anyway,

 onto my interpretation

 of our own

 Leah's sketch

 

Summer Days...

 

 

Leah's Sketch...

I have used the

 Simple Stories

 '100 Days of Summer'

collection again, it is

 just so perfect for these

 lovely sunny photo's of

 Rebekah and Emma.



The flourish die is from

 Crafty Ann,

 here in the UK,

 called

  Flourish 3.

The flowers are

 Prima

 'Strawberry Kisses'.

Not too much fuss with this one.

 Happy!

Our sponsor for the

 month of March Challenges

over at

 Stuck On U Sketches

 is a family owned business

 called

 Creative Embellishments.

 

It is owned by

our own sketch team sister

Nicolle Kramer

and her husband,

 Michael!

 

Check out their site,

and their

monthly challenges too!

 

Gotta be in it to win it.

 

Looking forward to seeing

 your interpretation of our

 sketch over at

SOUS!

 

See you there.

Black With 2 March Mood Board Reveal

And so another month begins...

 

And we at

 Black With 2

 have a new reveal for you....

 

The March Mood Board...

 

The zingy colours this month are

 Lemon & Thyme.

 

The Inspiration Word is

 "Sunshine".

 

There is a fabulous sketch to follow.

 

All on a Black Background.

 

 

Here is my interpretation...

I have rotated the sketch for

 a landscape photo.

My papers are from

 Glitz

"Hoopla"

 collection.

The title is mounted onto

Tim Holtz

 "Tattered Banners"

 using Basic Grey

 "Origins"

 micro mono alpha.

The chipboard circles and stars

are from

 Collections Elements.

The large black circle

 was cut using

Spellbinders

"Grand Decorative Circles One".

The hot air balloon stamp

 is from

Kaiser

 "Up, Up and Away".

 

The chipboard palm trees

 are from

 Buzz & Bloom

"Arboretum Palm Trees".

Happy with final layout,

 and so happy to finally get

 this photo of hubby

onto a page!

 

Photo was taken in 2002!

 

At King's Park, Perth, WA.

 

 

 

 

This month we have an extra incentive

for you to participate....

 

We have teamed up with the

 wonderful challenge site

The Scrapbooking Hut.

 

Our March Challenge

 will subsequently run until

 15th April,

 that's an extra two weeks

 to participate - Happy Days!

 

The Scrapbooking Hut's

 Challenge

 begins on

 15th March

 and runs until

15th April.

 

 

But, the great twist is,

that it's the same challenge

 for both sites.

 

So, you only need to do

 1 layout

 to enter

 both challenges.

 

And, by entering at both sites,

 you double your chances

 of winning a prize - too easy!

 

For more details make sure

 and head on over to

 Black With 2

 and enter these two challenges

with just 1 layout.

 

 

 

 

Now, to other news from

 Black With 2.

 

We are having a DT Call.



 

All the details are over at the Blog.

 

We would love to see you apply.

 

We are a great team here at BW2.
