Today, Happy & Loved - Penelope Dee Victoria Collection

Hello Everyone

I hope that you are having a good weekend! ;-)

Today I have a Penelope Dee mixed media layout to share with you, using the gorgeous Victoria collection.

I fussy cut so many bits and pieces, but it was really worthwhile in the end.

I also used punches, which I haven't used in ages! ;-)

I coloured the chippies with distress oxides and then used a white gel pen for the highlights.

I used a picture that I have had for ages, of myself, and one that I have wanted to use for ages too! ;-)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope you have a gorgeous day!

Aspang - CSI Case File no. 86

Morning Everyone

Happy Spring Day to everyone in the southern hemisphere! It is rather a chilly day here in Johannesburg, but the signs of spring are everywhere and the spring smells abound! ;-)

I had to skip a few CSI challenges, due to time constraints, but I am pleased that I was able to squeeze this weeks challenge in. The colours are so soft and gorgeous.



So here is my page.

Evidence: Scallops and Art Mediums
Testimony: Journalling about a City

My journalling is at the back of my page, as I did not want to compete the the writing on the background already. ;-)
My journallings says this:
Aspang is probably more a town than it is a city, but think it is one of the prettiest towns I will ever go to. This photo is at the centre of the town and is just beautiful in every way, with a stunning statue, beautiful gardens and beautiful surrounding shops and buildings too! It is quaint and so fabulously European.
Aspang is the home of the Mileder family and I will never forget how hospitable and friendly they were and how they opened their family to welcome ours.
We spent 2 and a half wonderful weeks in and around Aspang and enjoyed the 40C plus degrees of the fabulous summer weather!
We had the best time in Austria, and specifically Aspang, and I really do hope to visit it again in the future. Joe often asks "when are we going to Austria" again?" ;-)

I used Teresa Collins Summer Stories Collection, which had the perfect colouring and feel for this page! I punched the edges with a Martha Stewart punch and then did some chalking and stencilling with a fabulous Kaisercraft stencil. I outlined the chalking, which really gave it such a nice effect. The flowers used are Prima and no name brands.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a super Sunday!

Morgan - Sketchbook 365 June Challenge

Hello Everyone

I hope that Monday was a good day for you and that you also had a good weekend.

I am playing along with the Sketchbook 365 sketch challenge and created a sweet little page.



Here is my take on it.

This is my youngest niece, who has just turned 1, and this photo was taken at her 1st birthday party! She is almost walking, but not quite yet.

I used Websters Pages Best Friends collection, with a Scrap FX chipboard.

I found the colouring a little tricky, especially with the dot paper! I like the end result, but think I had a totally different idea in mind, when I first started this page! ;-) That happens sometimes!!

Well thanks for stopping by!
Have a super evening!
