A Boys Story is the best that is Told - SATW October Challenge

Hello Everyone

Sorry that my blog has been extremely slow this week, but life has just been hectic and I have not been able to post too much, until this afternoon.  I scrapped this morning and really enjoyed the creativity and inspiration that was flowing.

So the page I have to share is for the Scrap Around the World challenge here.



I really loved the bright yellow from the mood board, as well as the chevrons. So along with inspiration from the sketch, I put this page together.

These photo's were taken on our vacation to Salt Rock recently, and so I really wanted to use them. Joe and I had the most wonderful time and it really was just so good for the soul! We really did relax, have fun and enjoy every moment! It is certainly a vacation that I will not forget! ;-)

I used Kate & Co. Oxford Lane Collection from MME and Petaloo flowers.

I used paints, gesso and stamps for my background and I was really pleased with how it turned out.

Apologies for a little bit of a glare off the washi tape in the top right hand corner, but no matter what I tried, I just could not correct it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
I hope you are having a super Saturday!
Be back soon!

Oh so Sweet and Handsome - MME Sketch Challenge

Hello Everyone

I hope you are having a good day today!

I have been thinking to myself lately and really wondering if I have a particular style! I love so many different types of styles and sketches, that I combine many of them and so really wonder if I have a signature style!

I look at Keren Tamir's work (for example) and anyone looking at a page of hers, can probably have a pretty good idea that it was she who designed it. I am not so sure that anyone looking at my pages could say...ah...that looks like Denise's work! I just like trying everything and seeing how it all works out.

Am I the only one that questions this, or is it not really that important to put a label to everything?!
Anyways, just a thought and one I have been pondering for a while.

So that said, here is the MME sketch for July.



Here is my take on it.

I used the Kate and Co. - Oxford Lane collection. I think it's so fabulous for boy pages, especially with the navy and green papers.

I used MME stamps from the Lost and Found 3 collection, and one stamp from 7 Gypsies, along with Echo Park alpha stickers.

Thanks for visiting my blog today!

I hope you have a super evening!
