This is the start of an inspiration patch, where I hope that fellow scrappers and creators will come and find some inspiration, or even leave some inspiration for me.

My Sweet Joe - OUAS April Challenge

Hi Everyone

I hope you are having a super weekend and enjoying a little bit of rest and relaxation!

I have finished my layout for the OUAS and am pleased to share it with you.

The theme is about "The best Day of your Life", with this sketch.



I guess there are many special days in one's life, but this is certainly one of the most special ever for me! The day Joe was born changed my life forever, and I am so pleased that he chose us for his family! ;-)


The journalling speaks for itself and is absolutely true, in every way! The photo is also so very special, as was taken about half an hour after he was born.

Here are some close-ups.


I used Kwick Crackle on my chippies, and love how they turned out. The heart was inked and then stamped over with paint. I also did some gesso work on the background, for some added texture.



Supplies used:
Echo Park Everyday Eclectic Paper
Echo Park Dearest Papers
Fancy Pants Country Boutique paper
Imaginarium Designs chippies
Belle Brocase Stencil
Websters Pages alpha stickers
Prima flowers and bird
Gauze and Enmarc Dazzles

Thanks so much for stopping by!
I hope you have a super Sunday!
Denise x
