Sweet Smile

Hi everyone,
This week I have found another new place to play the 123 Challenge Blog. It's a really fun and simple concept - you are given a colour, a word and a technique and all you have to do is include all three of these criteria in a scrapbook page. Here is this week's -



And without further ado, here is my page -

Another cute little picture of one of my great-nieces, Kerrilouise, from about 6 years ago. She looks just like her Nanny looked at the same age, very sweet, so perfect for this theme :o)

It was lots of fun splashing and stamping around to create a mixed media background on the plain white cardstock. I tried out some of the pens and inks from my latest FrogDog parcel, as well as gesso, crackle paste and some spray/inky stuff I mixed up myself and can't remember what I put in it!

Couple of close-ups -

• Butterflies fussy cut from a Grace Taylor patterned paper pad
• Flowers from 13Arts, Crafty Cow and local Pound Shop
• I like to doodle around some of the ink splats and edges with a fineliner pen

• Patterned papers and arrows cut from magazine freebies
• Papermania doily - one torn into three pieces to make the most of it!
• File Tab punch from Stampin'Up!
• Bead trimming, buttons and washi tape from my stash
• Alphas and polaroid frame were from my last Quirky Kit
• Maya Road Singleton stamp set - three sizes of houndstooth check pattern

I had a lovely time with this - why don't you have a go too? You have until 30th September - plenty of time! Check out the inspiration here

Thanks for visiting, seeya soon :o)xxx
