Lots of gorgeous layering for this sketch <3

Here is what I've created..............

Using some old, & really old, My Minds Eye (I can't get enough of MME lately!)...along with some gorgeous Lil' Red Rocket embellishments - Taupe chiffon flower & cute little owl button! Dusty Attic chickenwire CB, Prima flowers, Crochet doilies, MFT diecut/rolled felt flowers, EK Success & Creative Memories butterfly punch, Cheery Lynne olive branch diecut leaves, hessian, Kaiser rhinestones, AC Thickers,  BG & Carolees Creations alpha stickers & machine stitching.

Pics are of the very dead & devastated Queen river in Tasmania....but it still looks so beautiful - the colours were just gorgeous & amazing!

Just a quick pop in this afternoon to share a layout I created using the Sassy Scrapper Mothers day kit by Georgia Heald.

It really is a beautiful kit & I just loved the layout when I seen it .....and I just had to have one!  lol

Anyways....here is my finished layout....

Using papers from the BoBunny Ambrosia collection

Lots & lots of fussy cutting :)

(just noticed I've put the wrong date...will need to fix that!)

Thanks for dropping by...hope youre weekend was a good one!  xx

Creative Scrappers + more MME mixed with some Lil' Red Rocket....

I have always been a HUGE fan of My Minds Eye products.....but I'm loving them even more lately!

Their latest ranges are just WOW...and I'm also loving the hexagons that they've introduced into some of their papers.....and I'm also loving handcutting my own hexagon shapes.

So, I'm here to share another layout I created last night using Creative Scrappers sketch # 205 using some MME & Lil Red Rocket goodness...... with some added hexagons - which just happens to be this months challenge on the My Minds Eye blog - to use hexagons!!  Yay

Here is the sketch....

And here is my layout....

I've opted to use one larger photo, rather than the 3 smaller squares.

I've hand cut a heap of hexagons from Follow your heart & Miss Caroline ranges & my base paper is from the Miss Caroline "Fiddlesticks" range also.

I've also used some gorgeous Lil' Red Rocket embellishments in my cluster....a gorgeous big owl button (isn't he just the cutest!!!) and the beautiful teal chiffon flower <3

I've also used my new MFT leaf flourish die that Suzanne ordered in for me (available in the Handmade by Suzanne store HERE, but you'll need to be quick!).....If you love flourishes, you JUST HAVE TO GET this die!!! It is fantastic & so versatile I just know that it's going to get a lot of use from me...I love it already! I've cut a few pieces with it & then cut some of them into smaller pieces to give a more balanced feel to my little cluster . There is also a felt rolled rose flower cut using another MFT die, Rolled Rose and also a small Rosette from the Tim Holtz Rosette die. (as you can see, I'm loving all my dies atm too...lol)

Okie Doke...that's all from me, folks, I'm off to tackle a few jobs for the day :)

Thanks so much for dropping by & for all your lovely comments...I really do enjoy reading them & they really do make my day! :) xxx

MME + just because....

Happy Monday everyone :)
Today I want to share with you all a layout I created over the weekend....a just because LO.
Well, it's really not only a just because layout...to me, it's way more than that!

You see, a lovely fellow scrapper was kind & generous enough to allow me to scraplift a layout of hers.  It's a layout, that when I first seen it, I fell in love with, it's utterly divinely (is that such a word?) gorgeous!!!....as is all of her work!  I love her work to bits & find her a never ending source of inspiration....to me, her layouts are always well balanced in design, colour & technique.

Ok, so you wanna know who this fantastic scrapper is???
 
It is the one and only Georgia Heald :)

And this is her stunning layout that I have lifted.....

You can see Georgia's layout on her blog  HERE
Don't you agree that it is utterly gorgeous?!  It's the colours, design & those hexagons that got me oooohing & ahhhhhhing over this one :)  I just love it! <3


And here is my take on it....
(nowhere near as yummy & delicious as Georgia's original - but I love it anways!)

I've used papers from the MME "Follow your Heart" & "Miss Caroline" collections...along with some Prima, Kaisercraft & Dusty Attic flowers, Kaisercraft wooden flourish & pearls, Prima lace, twine, AC Thickers, BG alpha stickers, The Girls Paperie journal card (popping out from under photo), Martha Stewart - EK success & Creative Memories butterfly punches, buttons, Prima tile, & versacolor & Stazon ink.

Pic was taken at Port Latta in Tasmania....you could see this metal  construction out in the ocean, for miles.  I loved the look of it & just had to stop to get some photos.

A few close ups....

Well, that's all from me for now....but first I'd like to thank Georgia immensely for allowing me to scraplift her gorgeous layout.....  I just hope I have done it justice :)

Thanks for dropping by. xx
