Today I wanted to share a layout for a challenge at Home and Scrapped to use strips of Pattern Paper ( which is a great way to use left over Paper). Home and Scrapped is a lovely friendly group that I always want to join in more. It is much more than just a challenge site, they share recipes & tips, have a chat thread, play word games etc, but I need to find more time in the day or win lotto to give up work!
Here is my take on the challenge
It may be a little OTT, but like Dory keeps swimming, when I am not liking a layout I keep Adding!
I have used bits of left over PP to layer under my photo, plus a couple of PL cards.
This is me with my middle child. When I found this photo the other week when it was my son's 33 birthday, my husband said he always liked this photo and always liked me in that dress ( only taken him 33 years to tell me that ) so I thought I best scrap it.
Pulled some bakers twine out that I haven't used in awhile. Some lovely green thread that was my Mum's ( going to be sad when I have used all the old threads up) The little green squares are mosiac tiles , I saw them at Spotlight and thought they might look cool on layouts. Lots of stamping, Texture paste and a mask for the blossoms and then I painted with watercolours.
More texture paste with circles that I have gone around with a charcoal pencil. The little chippy hearts and arrow are from Craftqueen, I think they are Cosmo Cricket . Lovely red circle chippy is from the Trinket Track . Heart washi tape is from Marally Craft.
Thank you for calling by. I hope your enjoying some sunshine
Love and Peace

Wow! I don't know how you managed to use that reg bg pp and not overwhelm the photo but you did it somehow! Very clever! And sadly, the sunshine has gone....
You certainly do look fabulous in that dress and your hair is glorious. Such a vibrant and lovely page. :)
