White with 1 - March Royal Blue

Royal blue, it looks like black but its just a dark blue.

Well this layout was a mission for me as my right arm is
in a cast at the moment, and I am right handed, I would
have just past this month but I had all ready stated when I
hurt my self, so not perfect but done.
Here is our inspiration .

Thanks so much for popping in .

White with 1-Feb

 

Hi, here is my take on this months white with 1 (Vivid Red)

I am trying to get all Tayahs baby photos done but thought Vivid red

might be to much for a baby's lay out, So I tried to soften it with white

lace , fussy cut flowers, berries, flowers and chicken from my Mintay farm life

papers. I all so used this months sketch from Page Maps for inspiration.



Thanks for the challenge. Hope you like my take on it.

Sorry about the 2 dark marks, I took it out side as the white looked

blue when I took the photo inside, its super winder here today so I had to try and hold it still.

Thanks for the challenge.

MORE THAN WORDS 

CSI CASE FILE 258

And here is my take below .

 

I have done a beach them, using the word beach, the chipboard and paper has shells

 

 

I added art stones large and small to get the feel of sand,

also the colours lean towards beach theme

 

Scrap The Boys Challenge

Well its been ages since I did a challenge , I was checking out a friends lovely layout and decided to
join in the fun and make a card, using SCRAP THE BOYS  mood board.

 

Its a cute shaker card , I used water colours and for some reason

the bright green isn't showing to well.

 hope you like it .

Layout Family

In this layout I have used splashes of yellow to bring this layout to life, And to give it that
little girl feel I used a ballerina stencil with yellow paint mixed with gel medium. I also
cut up a scrapiniec chip board ( which I love) and painted it yellow to add that splash
of colour


Also I have doted some roman numerals around and a small measuring tape to the bottom left corner,
the word "family" inspired me to use this photo of my mother in law when she was a child growing
up in England during the war.

The paper I used was from 7 Dots Dreamer Collection.The colours I chose were Blue, Green and Yellow

This layout is the first one iv done in a very long time, so used some challenges to help inspire me.
I would like to thank the 3 challenge community's below .Also there are some close up at the end of this post.
