I loved this sketch and it was so much fun to make, it all came together so easily :) The papers are Basic Grey, the twine and charm are WOJ, flowers are a mixture of WOJ, Prima and Wild Orchid, the muslin and alphas are from my stash.

I hope you can join us, I would love to see your take on the sketch. Thank you for stopping by and for your lovely comments.

Romance

I can't believe February is nearly over already! This month was our wedding anniversary plus valentines so lots of love to celebrate and I had the perfect kit to work with, Lime Tart's A La Tarte.

This photo is of hubby and I all dressed up, our darling girl took the photo. The papers are Authentique 'Lovely', so pretty and I love the texture of the papers.

Included in the kit is Glitz Design paper layers, I fussy cut the old type writer and added it to my layout, I thought it went perfectly together with the patterned paper.

The gorgeous stamped heart is a Hero Arts stamp (included in the kit) and there are four different hearts. I added a touch of pink to the linen flower and finished the cluster off with some flowers.

Tucked in some muslin, button twine and machine stitching for some extra texture.

The quote is cut from the bottom of the Authentique papers.

 

For the edge of my layout I stressed, inked and layered papers and muslin.

The A La Tarte is a really beautiful kit to work with.

Charmed

This is this months themed project at Whiff of Joy - Charmed. This cute image is 'I Will Take Care of You' and is part of this months new release.

The charm I used is WOJ from their 'Box of Christmas', I thought the angel wings were fitting.

Thank you for stopping by and for your lovely comments.

'Love You'

The A La Tarte is full of romance but the combination of colours is one of my faves and I had this gorgeous photo of my youngest son I have been wanting to scrap for a while so I layered, inked, stitched and created this.

I used one of the heart stamps to randomly stamp on the vintage tag and finished it off with some button twine and a key and lock I fussy cut from the patterned paper.

Another heart, stamped in red for love :)

Strips of script washi tape and some distressed flags and button twine.

Deep in thought, my sweet boy.

Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments.

Lime Tart Layouts

I am quickly posting my layouts from Lime Tarts January A La Tarte before I head off to hospital with my eldest son, he is going to theatre and I need to keep myself busy :(

This kit was beautiful and elegant so of course I had to scrap my darling girl. Fussy cut some of the circles from the patterned paper and loved these kraft butterflies!

My gorgeous girl on her 11th birthday.

The stamp is included in the kit and this particular one is great for stamping some foliage to create a base for some layering of papers and yummy washi tape.

A tag for some hidden journalling and stamped again to create some unity.

Some more layers, stitching and title.

The next layout of my girl again. Sorry - the pics are not so good!

Fussy cut more circles and hand stitched around them.

Pretty trim included in the kit, I did stamp some flowers on the strip of patterned paper but I should have used a darker shade of ink because you can barely see it.

And my title which sums up my girl perfectly, she is beautiful inside and out!

Thank you for stopping by, I will be back tomorrow with my first WOJ February preview, you are going to love the new release!

And have you seen the new kits at Lime Tart yet?

Lime Tart DT

I have been quite a bad blogger this year and a little missing in action, I wish I could say it's because I have been scrapping up a storm at my desk but unfortunately its just the normal daily things that have got in the way. Nothing major, just all a little time consuming, hopefully I will get to play at my desk in the next few days and I have just received my February kit from Lime Tart, the A La Tarte.

And I still need to share my January projects using the gorgeous  January A La Tarte. First up are some cards.

I created the background with 3 different colours of Distress Inks and some water, let it dry and then stamped the floral image.

The kit included these gorgeous kraft butterflies by Maya Road.

Another card with the same technique and Distress Inks, so much fun!

I kept the design of the cards pretty simple to keep the main focus on the stamped image.

Another card but this time I used the kraft butterflies to emboss my background.

 The 7Gypsies scalloped circles are included in the kit, I stamped the image and blended some Vintage Photo Distress Ink over the whole circle.

 



Thank you for stopping by, I will be back with my January layouts using this gorgeous kit.
