Good afternoon/morning/evening! We have had drizzly weather here on and off since Monday.. Not good for getting the washing dry, but good for being inside scrapping!
The June Challenge for OUAS is to use this sketch
and to scrap about your guilty pleasure... Humm which one was I going to do?? hehe!! Well after coming home from the Craft Show with a bag of flowers from MH I guess I have to confess I LOVE FLOWERS... I used to have a garden full of flowers, but when I discovered scrapbooking, I found the paper flowers were just as beautiful and I didn't have to work out in the sun to get them... and somehow my stash just seems to keep growing and growing, even though I use them!! So my layout is about my love for flowers.. The photo is of me in the Queens Park Gardens in Toowoomba in spring, but my journalling... which I have hidden.. reveals my love for scrapbooking flowers!!
Enjoying the flowers..
I have fussy cut Websters Pages papers and layered them around the photo... now see the flowers on the tag....?
When you lift it out... it reveals my journalling...
and there is my journalling... so just between you and me... I have an addiction to flowers.. Resistance is useless... And yes sometimes I do feel guilty I have soo many flowers.. drawers and bags of them.. but I will use them.. I am sure I will.. hehe!!
The June sketch for Annas Craft Cupboard is a lovely one, and I used photos of my sisters friends dog...and I am going to put this in a frame for her..His name is Rascal... and he is so cute!!
the sketch..
Such a rascal.
As always thank you for dropping by, and thank you for your lovely comments too!!

Loving both your LO's Lizzy, adore all the fussy cut elements and how cute are the pics of your sister's friends pooch! Such a shame we missed each other at the show AGAIN!! When I spoke to Tracey (Trace Elements) in Melbourne she mentioned you lived near Toowoomba. My sister lives there, so when I next visit I will try and organise to meet for a cuppa. Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteLizzy it's lovely to see a page about you and the fussy cutting looks amazing. Love the doggy one as well.

ReplyDeleteWow Lizzy both of these layouts are gorgeous. I particularly love the fussy cutting of your flowers framing your photo in your first layout and those colors work so fabulously to compliment your adorable pooch in your second, I love your strip of embellishments across the bottom of your photos with the dog house too. Two great takes on the sketches and so nice to see you using a photo of yourself. xx

It was so wonderful to meet you in Brissy! I'm just sorry that Saturday was so busy for me. It was hard to chat much but I'll make it up online - lol! These layouts are amazing. I hope I see some of those Manor House flowers on a layout soon. My rule is that I have to use some of what I buy at an expo within a few weeks - otherwise it gets hoarded!
