CHALLENGE #35 COLORMESCRAPPY & SOMETHING I MADE CHALLENGE

Evening friends, well a new month starts! and that means new challenges :)
The new challenge is up at colormescrappy  and it had me putting my thinking cap on and persevering with my layout. This is the sketch

and these are the colours to use

So I  used a dark room door stamp for the windows and my banner is only small, I have added a some old pearls from a necklace across the top of the banner

I have used the A4 Fairy Belle Prima collection PP . I had been playing around with this photo of my DG and the Paper for awhile trying to make it work. I fussy cut the photo as the background was all black in it, but it was getting lost in the layout, so I decided to place it on another piece of PP and then mount it on Black Cardstock.... much better. I also realized the colours went with the challenge so I persevered and fiddles some more until I was happy with the end result.

Also Kylie  set a challenge over at the Boxx  to scrap a layout of something you made . Well I made these three adorable little souls ( now big souls) and they are the best think I ever made or ever will

This was Chelsea's first day of school. Joseph was in year 5 and Christopher year 3. Even our old dog Podge got in on the photo shoot, surprised he is sitting there, he usually took off at 1oo miles an hour when he got out the front !

Chevron tape from Craftqueen 

I think the button is either from Scrapfriends http://scrapfriends.com.au/or A piece of Cake Designs, both have gorgeous buttons anyway, so you can't go wrong.

Thanks for calling by, don't forget to have a go at the colormescrappy   challenge, love to see what you come up with and pop over and check out the Guest Designers layouts, they rocked the challenge and the other Design Teams inspiration as well.
Back to work for me tomorrow :(
Love and Peace
