2 of a KIND {a moment in time}

hello lovely friends!

i want to share with you my latest layout - "2 of a KIND". it is based on the LOVELY sketch from nadia cannizzo @ once upon a... sketch challenge blog:

the challenge was to create a layout with "a moment in time" as a theme and at least 2 sentences on why my pictures are memorable.

i also used this layout to participate in the last week of the series DT challenges at  aussie scrap source. this week we had to copy the detailed layers style of the very TALANTED suzanne tonga.

so, here is my take on these challenges:

t've used the AMAZING "jack and jill" paper line from PRIMA marketing. i started with a white cardstock, which i sprayed with glimmer mist {coffee shop}. i coloured also my white paper dolie with the same mist.

i've created my layers by using martha stewart and ek success punches and different colours paper. some stitching, inking and distressing:-)

for the butterflies i used PRIMA marketing "green leaf" and some stickles glitter glue and ranger liquid pearls.

this is my journalling:-) for me, the moment i saw my precious babies for the first time is the most important time in my life. on the pictures - ELISE and THEO just a few hours after they were born. i used JACK and JILL to indicate who is who!:-)

 

the pink bird is from PRIMA. it was white originally, but with some bubble gum mist you can colour almost anything:-) the sign board is made with WEBSTER's PAGES cling stamp set {today's special}.

here are some more close ups from different details:

i had a lot of fun making this layout! this is my first time @ OUAS, but i'm definitely going to continue playing!

have a scrappy day!

precious dreamer {aussie scrap source}

hello bloggers,

this week i had to copy the clean lines and colour blocked style of suz doyle. she is attracted to grids and framed styles where everything has a place and will often divide her layouts into sections mentally, even when there aren’t actual lines on the page.

here is my interpretation of her style:

i used ek success fairy paper line with some basic grey rub ons and PRIMA flowers and rhinesotnes.

close ups:

have a scrappy week!:-)

hugs n' smiles,

Emmy

world traveller {aussie scrap source}

hello bloggers!

this week was devoted to Iris's style at Aussie Scrap Source "Detailed Whimsy".

and here is my interpretation - "world traveller":

i had lots of fun working on this on this layout and i'm really pleased with the result:-)

originally the background card stock was white, but after some misting (i used key lime pie), stamping (webster's pages "DREAM BIG", tattered angels "TIME TRAVELER", making memories "ESCAPE"), fussy cutting and stitching, i managed to create the unique effect i was looking for.

the pattern papers are from webster's pages. i've mixed three different collections - "ladies & gents", "postcards from paris" (for the hot-air balloons) and life's portrait (petite papers pack).

i used some of the fantastic digi designs and motifs from webster's pages "spring market" collection.

the vintage cars are from the tattered angles clear screens "TIME TRAVELER" set. i coloured them with copic ciao markers. the baggage comes from the "seaside retreat" journaling card set and the brown lace is from the "ladies & gents" designer trim pack.

my little garden - PRIMA marketing (whisper collection, rose leafs and sculpture flowers) and petaloo (mulberry street). i added some hero arts blue rhinestones as well.

i hope you have enjoyed taking a peek at the close ups!

thanks for taking the time to visit!

hugs 'n smiles,
