Roxy's Flourish Vine - Michelle

Hi Everyone !

Here is the second in my trilogy of wedding layouts, using gorgeous 2Crafty Chipboard and Teresa Collins Spring Fling Collection.

Happiness Is This features a double inked Roxy's Flourish Vine. This lovely piece has an elegant appeal, and fits really well with the flowers and papers !

Until next time - Happy Scrapping !

Frame Juliet's - Michelle

Hi Everyone !
Today I am sharing with you the first in a series of LO's I have made of my BIL's recent wedding to the gorgeous Jess. All of the layouts feature the bold bright colours of Teresa Collins' Spring Fling Collection, and fabulous pieces of 2Crafty Chipboard.

Surrounding the beautiful bride is the 2Crafty Frame Juliet's.

The frame has been heat embossed with Perfect Pearls, which gives it a shiny, shimmery effect.

Until next time - Happy Scrapping !

A Laugh is a Smile that Bursts - Michelle

Isn't this 2Crafty title just the most wonderful saying ! I love it !

And it goes beautifully with this photo of my ever smiley Caden !

I think I couloured and decorated this Laugh Title about 4 or 5 times until I was happy with it ! At one stage it was raw, then red and... finally I settled on black with a white outline. The point being though, this title stood up to the multiple colourings and inkings without the slightest hitch !

Until next time - Happy Scrapping !

Icecream at Mindil Beach Markets - Michelle

This is another layout from our recent family holiday in Darwin.
One of the "must do" activities when visiting Darwin is the Mindil Beach Markets. We were surprised to see it's not really about the shopping - it's about food, friends, fun and best of all, amazing sunsets over the beach (yep...it's round the other way in Darwin !).
Here's Jacob enjoying a Mindil Beach Markets icecream...

As this is such a "busy" pattern paper layout, I have treated the 2Crafty Seb's Tree in black ink, to make it pop from the background. To make it a little more interesting, I handcut the leaves in a contrasting pattern paper, and inked the edges.

I chose the Seb's tree for this layout, as we were sitting under a big tree, enjoying a little shade, when this photo was taken !
Until next time - Happy Scrapping !

Snap ! Snap ! - Michelle

I've been a bit AWOL lately...it's just that time of year at school.
Lots of assessing, marking and report writing !
Thankfully, most of it is over now, and I can look forward to more fun things, like the Year 6 Farewell and Graduation, the staff Christmas party and of course...HOLIDAYS !!!
Today's layout is from our last family holiday in Darwin:

For this layout I have used a very elegant Cartia's Swirl, treated with black ink.

I didn't know what to expect, putting such a dainty flourish on a boy page, but I think it works...don't you ?

Until next time - Happy Scrapping !
