Show Us Your Stuff January 2018 challenge

Happy new year 2018. This is my fourth year on the Show Us Your Stuff team, this year should be a lot of fun too. So our new challenge for January is this celebratory styled moodboard:

Now we all have some form of celebration in our lives, whether it be current, or past. 

Last year I took part in the Scrapbooking Memories (remember them) Masters competition. Sadly, the competition did not eventuate, and there were many of us who entered. We came away feeling very disappointed. This layout that I am sharing for this challenge, was actually created for the Masters competition. It was a celebration of my husband and mine 28th wedding anniversary, which we celebrated on holiday in Hawaii. I decided that this layout would be a perfect layout to share for the SUYS challenge, even though I didn't create it especially for it. 

I used papers, stickers and die cuts from Cocoa Vanilla Studio One of them I hand painted with watercolours, to tie in with the dress I was wearing. The handmade items on my layout, are flairs from D-lish Scraps, Cuts 2 luv and a Charms Creations heavenly heart. 

I hope you find inspiration to create a layout for this challenge. 

Celebrate 28

More Than Words May challenge

This month at More Than Words, the challenge is this:

This is an awesome challenge, and one I really needed to have a go at. I chose a photo of my husband and myself from our anniversary celebration last year. 

I used a Prima stencil to stencil the clocks around the patterned paper, and then stamped using a Kaisercraft stamp over that. I found clock embellishments in my stash, which include Kaisercraft collectibles, and Funky Flairs Studio flairs. I have layered my photo onto patterned paper and recycled dressmaking pattern paper. I have the word moment in one of the collectibles pieces, a sticker in the butterfly cluster and in my title. I think I have covered the brief. 

Thanks for looking at my layout and for any comments you may leave.
