Soul Scrappers

Hello ! Well I have been feeling rather shabby today, but never mind , better days ahead.
Today I am sharing a couple of layouts for challenges at Soul Scrappers . They have a choice of challenges to choose from each month.
Firstly sharing a layout for the one word challenge , which this month is Heart.

My Heart My Boys

Well these three pretty much have my heart. The flair is from Funky Flairs Studio the sentiment says Together , which I thought was fitting, added the Word Perfect above, so it reads Perfect Together 
I know why I usually forget to prime my page with Gesso, I hate the way it makes it buckle :( Doesn't really matter once its in the page protector , but a pain to try and take a photo.

Next layout ~ I was sent a collection of goodies and I had to create a layout using them all, plus add a quote from 7 quotes sent . I really like how this makes you think of ways to make everything work together .

The first thing I was drawn to was the piece of lace and ornate trim, which made me think vintage. Then I wondered how I was going to make the orange foam foot embellishment fit in. I ended up tucking it in the side of the photo revealing just a pop of colour (which I actually like). I also ended up liking the blue sparkly strip and coloured buttons as well. I think the bits of colour ended up working ok. 
the key on the other side is a shiny purple  (which I didn't like ) but not to be defeated I turned it over and inked the back (much better).
I worked out that I am about 17 in this photo.

Thank You for calling by .
Love, Peace and Kindness
