SINGLE MOMENTS MAKE GREAT MEMORIES ~ CHALLENGE YOURSELF
Hello ! Yes I should be getting organised to go on holidays tomorrow, but no ..... I am still doing layouts ! I think this might be the last for the year, I need to walk away and get organised to go away. But first I wanted to join in the challenge at Challenge Yourself. I really like to support Sharon who is a lovely lady.
The challenge to create a layout with a holiday theme
Boxing day is my eldest son's birthday , so after a big Chrismas day , we all get up on Boxing Day and do it again ! More eating and celebrating on this Holiday Birthday.
I wish pastel colours weren't so hard to photograph. The trick for me as I wanted to use the pink/grey PP , as it was a similar pattern to my top, was to also make it masculine.
Now Joe is quite fond of a game of poker, so I used the playing cards and also his is know as "the King" and his business is called "KingHandyman" ,so I thought the King card was appropriate and "You are one of a kind" he certainly is and also a bit of a play on words for one of a kind hand in cards. They were my thoughts on using these embellishments.
The gorgeous Abstract, butterfly corner chipboard piece is from A2Z Scraplets , which I have embossed in pink and green.
The "Boxing Day " flair is from StudioFourteen40.
To make the layout less feminine , I tore strips of PP and laid under my layout and then swiped gesso over them. I added some strips of star pattern washi which was gifted to me, but I am not too sure who from, but Thank You !
I am now looking forward to some walks on the beach and just relaxing and starting a New Year.
My wish for you all in the coming year
Love, Peace and Kindness
