Mom

Hello there.

It's Friday and I'm back here as promised, with my final DT project using the Authentique 'Delightful' line for Two Scrapbook Friends.

For this last project, a layout entitled 'Mom', I wanted to switch things up a little.  I wanted to keep the graceful elegance of this line, but lose a little of the girlie girl pastels in favour of a little colour.  I found the perfect orange background on the reverse of one of the papers, which really allows the purple in my photographs to 'pop'!


Authentique quite often include in their collections ('Delightful' being no exception) one or two sheets of 'word' stickers which are perfect as an aide to journalling.  For this reason my page centers around just that......the journalling, so I set myself the task of using as many of these stickers as possible.


Not bad........20 in total!

Now this page covers the fact that my Mom, bless her, hates to have her photograph taken as she's never too fond of the results.  Usually when I post 'stuff' on here, she is stalking my blog from 3000 miles away, and I'm well out of arms reach.  At present though, I'm lucky enough to have my parents visiting from across the pond, so although it's less likely she will see this, it does mean if she catches sight of it, I'm more likely to get a flip around the ear hole, for posting it on here for the World to see!

Back to the deets!
There's a nice little tulle trim layered under the photographs, for that 'girlie' element......

 

as well as a framed collection of embellishments.....a couple more of the stickers (from the co-ordinating sticker sheet) included in this of course.


Well that's it for today, but I'll be back next week with a couple of cute cards.......I've been playing with the Prisma pencils again!
Have a good one,

It's Challenge Day........

Yep, it's arrived again. Another Sunday has come around which means it's time for a new challenge over at the OSAAT Challenge Blog. Our theme this week, which has been chosen by fellow DT mate Choccy, is to create something with 'Mom' in mind......could be Birthday, Mother's Day, New Mother......whatever, as long as it's of the maternal variety.

We have another great sponsor of course...............


...........Bunny Zoe's Crafts, who are offering a gift voucher for their online store, to one lucky winner.

Now, before I show you my card, I should mention that I did struggle a little with this weeks theme. I certainly have nothing against Mother's........having one and being one and all, and the image I got to play with this week is no doubt beautiful. It was created by Sylvie's Stamps, and is part of the Stitchy Bear Store March collaboration, which you can get for free, if you spend $10 or more. Here's a little sneak peak.........


So, to get to my 'problem'. You might say the image I used has a slight tendency toward the 'Easter' variety. I'll let you decide...........


All I can say is I love how this turned out, so please forgive my lack of 'Mom'ness, as this will be finding it's way to my Mom (and Dad........but sorry Dad, you're not mentioned in this challenge so pretend you never heard that!).

I coloured this week with Prisma pencils......yay the Prisma's have returned! Paper is from the new We R Memory Keepers 'Peep' line, ribbon is from my stash.....tied with my lovely, lovely Bow Easy of course. I'm fairly proud of the 'wonky' handmade flower, and the sentiment is printed using Word and cut with a Nestie. Almost forgot the Fiskars border punch I used along the edge.

I think that's about it, so head on over to the OSAAT blog and check out what the other lovely ladies came up with.

I'll be back later as always with challenge hopefuls.

Have a wonderful Sunday
