Swirlydoos Round Robin

Happy Monday friends! I come to you with a layout I did for the Swirlydoos Round Robin Challenge. Give a quick click to check it out :) I used the beautiful Enchanted Evening Kit along with stash items to create this piece. The challenge was flowers and so I had a blast since I love them on my layouts.  The papers were gorgeous from Bo Bunny's Rose Cafe line. The beautiful pic is of my gorgeous Sophia and her friend Valerie at Valerie's Great Gatsby themed birthday party!

I made these pretty asters on the left with Heartfelt Creations aster stamp and die set. I really H.C's things!  The rest of the flowers were from I Am Roses. A great selection for a really reasonable price. Homemade texture paste with a word stencil over some distress ink in Victorian Rose along with a bit of Lindy's splats.  The chippie in the top right was from my stash from Creative Embellishments.  The flat backs I made myself with beads that I melted. I love making flowers, I wish I made time to do it more often.

Thanks for the visit!

Family

Well hello again!  I'm going for a record here!  Today I'm sharing my layout for Swirlydoo Kit Club's Round Robin challenge.  Each week a gal from the team shares their lift from the gal who went before them, unless you're first, then you set the standard. It's all about the family for this one.  I used September's gorgeous Vintage Love kit filled with Prima goodness!  Just beautiful, check out the pic -

So, in the challenge, if you use a Swirlydoo tutorial you get an extra point, using 60% of the kit gets you another.  My technique I used was for Vintage Chipboard -


My picture is of all of us from Desirae and Omar's wedding and I did a teeny step out just to show a couple of steps.  I layout all my pieces to make sure they're where I want them, then I start putting it together.

Some embossing

 starting to glue it all down

I love that Blue Fern chippie!  I used the great treatment to give it such a nice effect.  I curled the burlap string on the tags to give it a bit more fancy look.  The little clock face is scrap from my scrap stash pile.  I just glued it on and kept it plain. The amber rhinestones and the Family rub-on have been in my stash since the wheel was invented ;)
