OMA's sweethearts {my creative sketches}

hello bloggers!

i'm finally ready with my project for the 1st sketch challenge from my creative sketches. it's a new challenge blog and i LOVE it so far!

here is what i came up with this month:

and this is the sketch i had to work with:

this layout is a birthday present for my mom. she is on the black & white photo with all her grandchildren. the small pictures are the most recent photographs of each one of them - elise, willy and theo. 

i used the newest PRIMA marketing line - "pixie glen" and some other of their AMAZING products. i did a lot of stamping, stitching and fussy cutting... as usual :-) 

some close ups:

the title is written with brown alphabet stickers from PRIMA marketing. the pink pearls are also from the same manufacturer. 

 the cute little pixie and the umbrella are cut off one of the papers from the "pixie glen" paper line. the curls under the circle are made with one of the "annalee" clear stamps.

i couldn't put anything on top of this quote - i really LOVE it! so i made a little opening to fit my paper strip through it. i used the white opal liquid pearls a lot as you can see:-)

 i coloured the bird with "frosty" glimmer mist. i stamped the "happy birthday" words with my latest ippity stamp "FALL for you".

off to finish one more layout now! 

hugs 'n smiles,

Emmy
