*Artistry* ~ Let's Scrap Sketch 10-1-15

Well, Hello there My Dear Arty Scrappy Friends!

It is so nice to see you again!

I'm so sorry that my blog post has been a bit "late" today, after the reveal on the Let's Scrap blog...

we have been out doing our last minute shopping for my DD#1's Matric Dance tomorrow night...

so there are MUCH excitement going on in our house at the moment!!   :-D

This week I would like to share with you my Design Team layout for the Let's Scrap Sketch #10-1-15... *Artistry*.

As any Mom, I think my kids are BEAUTIFUL AND AWESOME AND AMAZING AND all the WONDERFUL things they can be, so I am no different!!!  My DD#1 just looked so beautiful to me in these natural and spontaneous photos, we went out for the day and she decided to wear red lipstick and she looked AMAZING and so PERFECT!!  And yet again, I realized how blessed I am to be her Mom and what a FANTASTIC Artist God is for "designing" our beautiful children and blessing us with them. ♥♥♥

 *Artistry*

 I used the Bo Bunny range: Star-Crossed.  It was totally perfect for the idea I had.

And here is some close ups of the layout...

I used thick white porous cardstock to make the stars by applying some red and black Distress Inks onto my craft sheet, spraying it with water and then putting the paper onto the ink without "rubbing".  After it has dried, I used some silver ink to spray over it.

I also used silver Stickles for the stars on the circles.

I do believe that it is VERY VERY important to use your own handwriting, so that one day, this very special handwriting, belonging to only one person in the whole wide world,

can be remembered forever.

I still have a few things with my Dear Grandmother Jopie's handwriting on and imagine her fingers holding the pen and writing the way only she could.

How special is that???

 

 Thank you so much for looking & I surely hope you visit again soon!!

The fabulous Let's Scrap Sketches are published every 1st and 15th of the month,

Hi there all my Arty Scrappy Friends!
I surely hope you are having a fantastic Tuesday, I surely am!

As I told you in my previous post all about the InterNational Scrapbooking Day event being hosted by Let's Scrap... Well, Let's Scrap's sister blog Feeling Sketchy are hosting a joint event this month... So you need to participate in both sketches to be eligible for the prize.

I decided to create a layout from this lovely card sketch.

I used Bo Bunny's lovely range Madelein and as you most probably noticed, I used it in my last 2 creations, as I bought the whole range and absolutely love it. My plan is to use the leftovers on my Project Life pages to compliment these layouts.

This is the Feeling Sketchy sketch...

And this is my layout I created with it, called: "A True Love Story Never Ends"...

I hope you enjoyed looking as much as I enjoyed creating my very special layout! 

Have a Wonderful Day!

Hugs

Oh how I have been enjoying myself... Scrapbooking!!!!

 Let's Scrap are hosting an  INTERNATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY - Month Long 'Special' Challenge!!!

So... Are you ready to celebrate InterNational Scrapbooking Day??

I have created my very special layout for this sketch challenge...

After much contemplation, I decided to blur out my girl's face as these photos are just too personal for me and very close up, so I feel better with posting them like this.

*Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful*

Some more of the details...

I used one of my all time favourite designers: Bo Bunny's Madelein range, just love the colours and the softness of it all!!  The flowers are from Prima and I used 2 pink bottle caps, cut out 2 small flowers from the paper and used Glossy Accents to make it all pretty and glossy.

Hope you enjoy this layout as much as I did creating it!! ♥

Have a Wonderful Tuesday!
