Brothers: Swirlydoos Round Robin

Hi friends! I'm back with a layout I made for the Round Robin challenge going on over at Swirlydoos :) This month it's all about the men in our lives in honor of father's day.  I used my Wistful Blues kit filled with gorgeous Bo Bunny and Riddersholm papers along with some fun embellishments and texturing and stamping.

A crackle stencil from Prima, which was very delicate, not a heavy touch at all, is behind the pics along with my Creative Embellishments background stamp in a grid like pattern. The pretty ivy chippy is from them as well. Check out all their goodies *HERE*  I also used my brand new Spellbinders nestablities frame and I love them. Gonna use the tip of wax paper for easier release for sure next time. Shoulda realized that they give these tips out for a reason :p

This is my hubby with his (obviously) brothers from the font of all pics, Desirae's wedding ;) The challenge asked to use chippies and metal. The pin was in the kit and the charms were from my stash as was the key hole. Love the burlap behind the pic as a mat and the sayings stickers which gives a very faint layer in the left corner. The flowers don't overpower, nor do them fem it up, nice touch.These were all in the kit also. Krissy really packs them! The stamping is very faint, I did a vine along with the grid pattern.

Hope you liked, thanks for the visit!

Beautiful, A Swirlydoo Kit Club Challenge

Hey friends!  Monday Monday :)  They just keep rolling along.  Today I have my layout for the Butterfly Challenge hosted by Angelica on Swirlydoo's.  It features August's kit, Wistful Blues.  Wow, this kit is a stunner!  Check out Swirlydoos and Angelica's blog, Angelica Scrap Happenings.

I went with a pic of Desirae and Omar from their wedding.  Can you believe it'll be three years this November already?!  Wow, what a great day it was, and yup I still have a gazzilion pics :D  The papers in this kit are stunning, Riddersholm, a Danish co which I've never seen in person, Kaisercraft, and Bo Bunny, plus tons of other goodies to embellish with.  Take a look -

No joke friends, Krissy packs this with a lot of stuff!

On to my layout -

I used some flowers from my stash, both Petaloo and I Am Roses, lots of misiting of them, then whitewashing to tone them down some. I made my little glitter bubbles with my glue gun again and some texture paste action going on. The clock was from my embossing folder and I just cut it out and inked it, also added a key. On the edge of the paper I ran some Tim Holtz lacy trim I've had in my stash. I layered cheesecloth and mats under the pic, along with some note card printables from Pinterest. Of course distressing the edges and inking them.The Beautiful chippie is from Blue Fern and was also in the kit. The butterflies are printables that I have saved on my puter.  I'm really happy with this one, hope you like it too!
