Happy New Year to Everyone!
For my first blog post for 2013, I am guest designer for the Scrap Africa. I have scheduled this blog post in advance, due to the wonderful festive season being upon us, so I do not have the direct link to the challenge. However, all the challenge information can be found 'HERE' on the Scrap Africa Blog. Below is the sketch, and above...my interpretation of of the sketch....
For my first blog post for 2013, I am guest designer for the Scrap Africa.

However, all the challenge information can be found 'HERE' on the Scrap Africa Blog. Below is the sketch, and above...my interpretation of of the sketch....
The photograph is our beautiful son, Jesse when he was 14 months of age. What a precious smile, even his eyes 'smile' - just melts my heart.
I love Manor House flowers, and absolutely love the Taneisha blooms. The butterflies are fussy cut from Graphic45's 'Butterfly Specifics' paper, and I added some wire tendrils teamed with glass bugle beads.
The chipboard elements were aged using various mediums including crackle medium. The 'Love You', was painted to match the papers with polka-dots. You can find all Imaginarium Designs chipboard products 'HERE'.
Lots of layers!!
Beneath the title, I painted the lattice chipboard (Scrap Matrix) using Espresso Bean, Glimmer Glam. The photographs do not do the colour justice, its stunning with that shimmer and vintage 'look'.
Transparencies are fun to use in layouts and I don't use them enough...
'Mini Bricks' 6X6 template was used to add texture to the background using distress ink.
Wishing everyone a wonderful 2013...
