Today I am here to share a layout for Pixels and Paper. When I saw the prompt it took me straight to a photo of my middle son , fishing at his Grandads whilst we were on holidays.
The Prompt
and this is my take
Enjoy Life ~ love the little stuff
You can see why my mind went straight to this photo. I always liked this photo, so it is nice to scrap it.
I have adhered a Scrapmatts word chippy to a StudioFourteen40 file tab. Bull Rush chippies are from Scrapmatts , which I have coloured. Gorgeous StudioFourteen40 Flair from "The Hamptons" range.
Chevron Chippies from Scrapmatts and I have rubbed gesso over them.
The cork banner is a gift from my friend Jo, and the little coloured star fish thingys are from a win at Scrappy Canary. Torn up bits of doily and some sequins and soft thread paper to make a little water scene.
I have used a second StudioFourteen40 Flair and the little bird chippies and metal triangle brads are gifts from my friend Lizzy . I think I am going great to get two flairs on a layout, Lizzy got 7 ! Check her amazing layout out, I love it.
Thank you for calling by. It is a sad house here today, as we farewelled a dear friend. The world lost a gentle soul , a gentle giant, a true gentleman. So live life to the full, and never miss the opportunity to show and tell the people you love how much.
Love and Peace
