DARE TO BE DIFFERENT , FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS

Hello !
I would like to share with you my layout for the challenge at Scrap Our Stash and The Summer of colour 5 . I was inspired to do these challenges after seeing the lovely Sharon and Lynn's layouts for the challenges .
Scrap Our Stash is a sketch challenge 


and the summer of Colour is a colour palette of course



Probably not colours I would normally use and I have to say when I started my layout I was hating it, but I kept adding and fiddling and in the end glad I took the challenge on.


Dare to be Different , follow your Dreams, Be brave, Sparkle


With my Beautiful Grandchildren, Easter 2012


My hearts I made by layering and dripping paint on art paper and them drawing some hearts and cutting them out. The butterflies I fuzzy cut from some old PP . The little vellum hearts I have had for ages and no longer remember how I acquired them. Some old pink ric rac of my Mum's , a bit of washi tape and some flowers I have also had for ages. Not sure where the little wooden hearts are from now, maybe Lizzy ? The Orange PP background I have Also had forever.



some texture paste 

Satin seam binding, cob webbing and thread. 
Thank you for calling by and I appreciate your time to leave a comment
Love, Peace and Happiness

As I said on FB...those hearts....STUNNING....I don't think I can take credit for the little wooden ones though! And I really like the checkered textured bg bits, too....the colours are fabulous! I've seen the summer colours thingy....but just don't think I'll get a chance to join in....I do LOVE the palette you've used, too:):)
