Hi guys! Hump day, almost done with the week! Woot, one more down not too many left till school's out for summer :)

Today I'm sharing a layout I did of our sweet Bruno who crossed the rainbow bridge on 4/25 and I joined the NSD challenge on scrapbook.com for our pets. Did anyone get their craft on for NSD? I'm happy with how it came. I will also enter it in Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge #140 Monochromatic with Ribbon or Trim. Give a click to check it out, or click my sidebar :)

I used papers from Fabscraps which I've had for a while now. They're from a Swirlydoo kit. Petaloo flowers also from the kit. A doily from my stash, twine and ribbon, stash fussy cut butterflies and stickles dotted here and there. I also splatted some Lindy's mists, a pretty chippie frame from Creative Embellishments that I gesso'd, inked and stickled. The title is cut from my silhouette cameo. Let me just say, my cricut has served me well and enormously through the years and I still use it, but my version, the expression, can not cut with the fine detail that this baby does! Can't speak to cricut's newest model, but boy I love my cameo!

This was a decent stash raid here, not even with any prompting! I hope you like it, have a great week and thanks for stopping by,

Sweet

Hello again! I'm back with a layout I did for Swirlydoos kit club All That Flutters challenge :) It's hosted by Angelica Franssen who is one the dt members. Check out her blog *HERE* and you can find the challenge on Swirlydoos *HERE* The March kit was filled with gorgeous FabScraps papers and I just loved creating with them.  I fussy cut the lacy part of one paper and put it onto the other, then covered it with clear gesso and did some grey painting in the background as well as stamping. The title is from Dusty Attic chipboard and I just embossed it with black embossing powder. The pic is of my daughters Desirae and Sophia from my father-in-law's 75th birthday last March. The light filtering just made it gorgeous.

Here's some pics -

Since it's an All That Flutters challenge, butterflies of some sort must be present.  I cut these with my cricut then dipped them in melted Utee to give a glass effect. I also fussy cut the roses from the paper in the top right corner of the pic and tucked it in along with stash flowers and Petaloo grey mesh that came in the kit. I did a corset type up in the left corner with string and also carried the string down in my mat layers. The leaf chippie is also Dusty Attic, and that got gesso'd white then painted with my silks and misted with some Lindy's.

A gorgeous kit for sure! Hope you liked it, have a great weekend,
