Today I’m sharing a DT layout for the Scrap Africa challenge, No 27,
hosted by Rene, which is to use Stars and stitching.
You can find details of the challenge here
I'd love you to pop over and see the variety of examples created by the DT
and maybe enter the challenge. You have a couple of weeks to play along.

The back ground paper is so old, I don't know the brand.
I cleverly cut the label off years ago,
before I had any idea that I would one day have a blog,
and be entering challenges, let alone be on design teams!
First I used a variety of stencils and texture paste,
before misting them in green and brown.
A close up to show you, the stars
The stitching forms a line for my journalling,
similar to the example page by Kinsey Wilson.
I used lots of Kaisercraft collectables “Hello sunshine”
The heart washi tape is from a $2.00 shop
The journalling reads:-
One hot summer day, you two little boys were cranky. With a few toys in the paddling pool, it was just amazing how quickly your moods changed.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun, fun way of using tags & telling a story!!! And that washi!!! YUM.....soooo much the star of the show:):)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun layout and so cool that you used the design of the inspiration too... clever you. Isn't it just amazing how quickly their moods can change if they are distracted. I love the colours of this one. The photos are just so sweet and the stars... very clever...The embossed tags are wonderful. I look at things like this and think - why didn't I think of that... so simple, so stunning and effective. This is beautiful Helen I love it.
