Hello all,
I am back after a fabulous holiday and very much in the scrapping mood! I am determined to complete the Turkey album before I start the one for Tunisia so as soon as the washing and ironing was done I spent some much needed R & R in my craft room :0)
I loved this month's kit inspiration from Counterfeit Kit Challenge, so hastily assembled some stuff together - no photo again as I just can not wait to start! It's not about the kit so much as the direction it leads me in. I tend to only worry about the papers and let the rest come together naturally - although I did dabble with the tag tutorial.....amazing!!! More of that to come later in the week :0)
So this layout's inspiration came from the girls at LGS:
Here is the lovely sketch that prompted it all:
I am cutting it fine as the deadline is far off, but I loved the sketch and wanted to get back into some challenges :0)
Thanks for popping in,

Papers are MME 'Miss Caroline - Dilly Dally', a bit of OA and a smidge of Basic Grey |
Haven't made a lollipop flower in ages :0) The woodgrain paper is to represent the wooden board our steak was served on! |
I know it's weird but I love dodgy typing!! |

Ohh wow, I love this!!! The lollipop flower looks fantastic with the black circles and the main circle of white stitching looks fabulous on the black cardstock! Love those papers!! Thanks for joining us at LGS!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely. I really like what you did with the lollipop flower - how you distressed it. And the circle of stitching adds so much with just that one little detail.
ReplyDeleteI love your take on how you create your kit - sounds like so much fun and you always create such wonderful layouts too! This one is a winner. I adore the stitching and the typewriter journalling is awesome - makes me want to get one for myself! Fab
