Words or whatever June/July sketch and Anna's Craft Cupboard July sketch

A marvellous Monday to you all! The day outside is simply beautiful so much so I almost forget it is winter here..
I get a few moments here and there to scrap lately, so I shall share the latest 2 layouts I have created.. Both are for sketch challenges..

Somehow I came across the sketch for Words or whatever and thought I would create a layout based on the criteria, which was to use the sketch, a black and white photo and a wow piece of chipboard.. I found the title was a wow chippie and went from there.. the photo is my mum as a teenager, and I am guessing the date of the photo..This layout is different from my usual...

The sketch..


A picture is worth a thousand words..
a bit closer..
I have layered up some older ranges of the Kaiser collectables..

The next sketch is the July sketch for Anna's Craft Cupboard which I always enjoy doing..
which I have used like this..

I snapped this photo of my DD and our horse a little while ago and I just love the moment that was captured..

Moments.
and a bit closer..


I have used the forget me not collection from Kaiser and fussy cut and layered up those flowers..

Thank you for visiting my blog and thank you  for the lovely comments you take a moment to leave me..I appreciate you!.. have a wonderful day!!

    Both of your layouts are beautiful. I think it's good to go out of your comfort zone as you did on the first one.

    These are both such pretty pages and show such wonderful attention to detail. I think those marvellous blue flowers in the first one convinced me that one was my favourite ;-) TFS!!

    I'm not sure which one I like best....so I'll just have to like both!!!!!!!! The top one has a real vintage vibe - which goes so well - do you look like your Mum? I get the sense you do, from this pic???? And that horse one.....Nisha looks soooo sweet & she's obviously v comfortable with horses!!! Really, really pretty....it's been a glorious day here, too.....& I got scrappy & that was fun!!!

    Wow, Lizzy! Both layouts are gorgeous! Where do you get so many creative ideas from?!! I'm still getting Google Reader, too. I wonder if they changed their minds?

    I suppose what you call a glorious winter's day to us in the UK is high summer. We too are having glorious days atm, 23/27c! I love these pages, both of them, and how you used the sketch on the first really suits the lovely photo. I love all the fussy cut flowers framing the second photo which is soooo romantic!

    Two beautiful layouts Lizzy, I am loving the blue with the more neutral colors you have used for both pages and the vintage labels on the gorgeous layout of your mum.

    Two Beautiful layouts Lizzy! What a precious photo of your mum.....love the blue tones, so pretty! The papers on the second would have to be one of my favourites. Love the spray of pretty flowers mixed with twine. Enjoy your week....hope you get lots of time to scrap!
