Celebrate

Thanks for calling in to say ‘Gday.

I hope you will find something to persuade you to take a chance with some vibrant colours and a join in with the Kraft+ challenge this month.



I was inspired by the vivid colours, the stitched circle and the "live out loud", exuberant feel of the image.



The paper is all from a 6x6 pad by Studio Calico, "Lemon Lush"
Some texture paste through stencils.



The yellow flowers were made with a new Scrapmatts stencil - ST5030



The title is by Heidi Swapp .
Some flairs by Basic Grey, circle stamps from Prima.



The journalling is on the back of the page and it reads:-

These three family members all took up the challenge to have a
“Girls night out” for another Son’s special birthday.
None of them ever seek the limelight, nor do they like standing out from the crowd, so to have evidence of them getting in touch with their feminine side is quite a coup.
 

What a fun weekend, good food, music, dancing, stories from childhood, previously not revealed and a chance to play the fool. Should be more of it.

Thanks for calling in to say hello.
I truly appreciate any comments you may care to leave.

You & Me makes me Happy. Scrapmatt DT

Welcome to my May Scrapmatts projects.

They are both created with soft, feminine colours 

which I enjoy working with. 

I thought the ornate frames were perfect for the shabby chic style of the page. They were not quite the right size for my photos, 

so I trimmed off the sides and just used the tops.  

The paper is from Prima, as is the sweet flair and the lace.

The Metal Filligree corners tied in with the soft gold of the heart sprays

and I used black texture paste through the Stencil Bubbles to enhance the title. 

The heart sprays are perfect for tucking into clusters to soften the edges.

JOURNALLING - on the back of the page.

These three photos show how quickly your expressions change and how happy you are to have your photo taken - as long as I’m quick about it!   After all there is lots of crafting, bike riding, gardening and mud play to grab your attention.  Like a little honey eater, you flit from one activity to another, eager to slurp the essence out of every experience.  We love your company, your sunny nature and your quirky sense of humour.
