Soul Scrappers Challenges - Sketch, Monochromatic and One Word

 Hello there, How is your February going? We have had some very hot days and some wet days, all very usual for our last month of summer! 

I have been creating and have 3 layouts I would love to share with you for the challenges over at SOUL SCRAPPERS on Facebook . The first layout is for the sketch, which looks like..

I have followed the sketch pretty closely.

a closer view.

I had a bit of a tidy up and I found lots of lace so I have used lace on all 3 of my layouts. I did a little bit of stencilling for interest and fussy cut the sunflowers to match my photo..

There are so many beautiful reasons to be happy.

The next layout I would like to share is for the Monochromatic challenge where we were allocated a color, and the color I got was brown.. humm I wondered if I had any brown in my stash, I need not have worried, yes I found brown.. I kinda went with a Vintagey look..

a closer view.

I found I had brown and hessian flowers and I used them.. I found this clock face with a horse on it and as my Dad loved horses I used that in this cluster.. other things I used on my page were die cut wheat as my Dad was a Farmer and grew wheat at times for the grain for his cattle.. 

Sweet memories

I love this photo of two of my daughters and my Dad..very precious memories now..  I like how this turned out..

and the final layout is for the One Word challenge, to use either a G or D or T for the title word on your layout. and use some texture paste through a stencil... and I chose G for Grin and used a photo of my Grandie when she was so little and she had a very cheeky grin!!

a closer view.

just a view of the cluster with fussy cut flowers and again I used a clock face..

Grin.

Just a little bit of stencilling on the side of my page to compliment the softness of the page..

So there are my 3 layouts, I did enjoy creating them.. I hope to do some more creating before the month is out, but life has a way of getting busy when you least expect it! Thanks for dropping by, and do take care.. until next time..
