The April challenge for SCRAP THE BOYS is a fabulous mood board and I took my inspiration from the picture in the top right hand corner as well as the colors in the squares.. The board looks like..
and my layout...some closer views showing some details..
Boys will be boys..
and for something completely different!!!
The challenge for April for SHOW US YOUR STUFF is a mood board too, but a very feminine one!!
How pretty is that?!! and because Show Us Your Stuff is also about hand made embellies, I decided to try my hand at making the flowers for this layout.. because that is what I was inspired by, from the mood board, as well as the pastel colors...so all the flowers are made by me using various dies..some closer views..
I certainly am not an expert flower maker, but these flowers turned out ok I think!!!
SO what ever your day brings you today, I hope it is good!!
