Smile for Me



Hi everyone - this is my entry for the September Challenge over at White With 1.
The criteria is:

White + Orange + Black


I had a lot of fun playing when I did the background - lots of Gesso, Impasto and Glimmermist.
Also some fabulous chipboard.


Green Tara flowers are always an asset to any page - I just love using them on my layouts.


Just a coupe more Green Tara roses and a cute little butterfly to finish off.

"Wrap up for "Winter"

Hi everyone - this my entry for the August Challenge over at "Once Upon a Sketch".  The theme was "Seasons" and I just had to scrap this gorgeous photo.


I spread lots of Gesso around to make things wintery and cold and I just love this
beautiful weatherbeaten paper.


Of course there had to be snowflakes and this fabulous "Memory Box" die fits the bill perfectly.


I had a lot of fun treating this 2 Crafty chipboard fence and I think I managed to make it look quite realistic.  
The flower is a Green Tara "Heirloom" fabric flower.
Di's Scrapbook Shop at The Entrance NSW has a great range of Green Tara flowers and 2 Crafty chipboard.

Thanks for dropping by

Remember the Moment

Hi everyone - I've been playing with Green Tara's fabulous products again.
Aren't these fabric flowers just gorgeous.  I love these rich colours
I added a touch of copper paint to some red roses to bring the colour a bit closer to the fabric flowers.  
Some great chipboard, a lace doyley, velvet leaves and various ribbons gave me the rich look I wanted for this page.
Thanks for dropping by
