THE FRUIT PICKER ~ ARTASTIC CHALLENGE

Hello to those who visit. Today I am sharing a layout for the challenge at Artastic which the criteria is a Country Theme.
This is my take on the challenge

The Fruit picker

SO MUCH HAPPY

Hello just popping in to share a just because layout

So much Happy

I tend to mix ranges up when I create, just what I pick up and think works at the time. 
I've used Kaisercraft PP, and Die cuts from the reject shop. The enamel dots are from Megs Garden , the flair and "So much Happy" and "Love This "sentiment are from the Coco Vanilla "More than words" range. I've also added some packaging .

I love the happiness captured in this photo.

HEIDELBURG ~ ARCHISCRAPS CHALLENGE

Hello Lovelies
Today I am sharing a layout for the challenge at Archiscraps which is to use triangles on your layout. Here is my take

I have added triangles in a few ways. Firstly there was a triangle pattern on the PP , I have cut three triangle shapes and added gold glitter triangle on them. I've added a chevron stamp and also used a chevron stencil with texture paste.

When leaving our accomodation in Koblenz Germany, the lovely couple that helped their son run the Guest House told us we must go to Heidelburg as Elvis lost his heart in Heidelburg ~ so to Heidelburg we went :)
