Scrap Matix Challenge, 7 Dots Studio - Love

Welcome to my blog during this busy time of the year;

I hope your preparations are coming along according to plan.

Today I’m sharing a layout for the Scrap Matrix challenge,

which was to use 7 Dots Studio Products.  

Inspired by the colours of the teething beads,  I've chosen to scrap an older photo of one of my Grand boys. The colours of the new Paint Chips range matched well.
The background I used is called Underpaper.

I teemed it with some of the sheets from the Paint chips 6"x6" pad,

and a tag from Destination unknown collection.

The chipboard frame is from Scrap FX - I treated it with Ranger Enamel Accents

and Tattered Angels glimmerglaze.

The metal butterfly has a few Prills for the middle.

I added a cluster of circle elements.  The flair is from Graphic 45

The yellow element is a Prima Art Pebble &  the small brad is from October Afternoon.

The texture paste was applied through a 13 @rts stencil

The Stamps are by Paper Artsy.

The words strips are also from 7 Dots Studio, the Lost and Found Collection.

The journalling is on the back of the page and it reads:-
Every face tells a story and yours shows your impish nature and the way your eyes light up when you see someone you love.  I see lots of bruises and scratches on your face; testimony to your fearless nature and love of climbing and exploring.
Your face is smothered in sunscreen and your shoulders are bare,  so we must have been heading outside for some water play in the little blow up pool.
You remind me so much of your Daddy at the same age.

I enjoy reading your comments and appreciate you leaving them.  Thank you.
