CUDDLY

Hi scrappy friends, here is a layout I have done using a sketch from SKETCHABILITES No. 79 for my inspiration and pictures of our new puppy. Hope you like it.
For this one, as I have used three photos, I didnt use any patterned paper ,as I thought it might all be a bit busy.
I used four different colour cardstock, and kept it quite simple.
I matted my photos and adhered them onto the coral cardstock then double matted this and glued these onto my background card.
Then it was time to embellish. I cut out three arrows and matted them onto some brown card.
I die- cut three hearts and glued these down.
I started to add my flowers, leaves and branches.
I used some of my homemade paste and a honeycomb mask for the corner.
I then die cut the title - and there you have it. Why not give it a go.

BELLY UP

Morning lovely scrappers. Here is a layout I have just finished with photos of our baby puppy.
For my inspiration I used a sketch from Stuck On You Sketches.
For this one I chose the colours from the photos and just followed as per the sketch.
I matted my photos in tan cardstock, then I cut down 4 other layers and distressed the edges with a distressing tool.
I stuck all this down then made the side layers and distressed the edges of all three.
I used my squiggly scissors to cut out two circles and added these.
I die cut the title and date.
I added a butterfly and lots of flowers with pearl centres.
I then added a journalling block with my journalling. I hope you like it and give the sketch a go. BFN
See sketch below.

Morning all - here is the new addition to the family. Here he is brand new with his eyes still closed!
I chose pink for his little pink nose and pale pink for his face. He is one day old. So new we do not have a name yet.
Anyway the background cardstock is taupe which sort of blended well with the pinks and his fur.
I used a sketch from Once Upon A sketch for my inspiration and just kept adding flowers really!
I matted the photo in pale pink and lay that on to dark pink cardstock, which I matted with some brown.
I used my honey comb mask and some home made paste for the white paint effect.
I cut out a pink clock face from a tim holtz die.
I used some Dusty Attic chipboard and added a few pearl.
I punched out some leaves and die cut some fronds and branches.
I used a Donna Salazar Spellbinders die set for the two hand made flowers.
I die cut a little bird.
I added lots of flowers and die cut the title.
Secret journaling card (behind clock face) reads    -     
 'We are so thankful to our vet who performed an emergency c section and saved both Mum and puppys' lives!'
 Hope you like it. See sketch below. BFN caroleanne.

PUPPY LOVE

Hey at last its Friday, hope its a good one.
My computor is still playing up so I havnt been able to post for a while but am back at last.
For this page I used a sketch from Stuck On You Sketches for my inspiration.
I chose the colours from the photo, and kept it all quite simple as I wanted to focus on the picture.
I matted my photo is black cardstock then used a cream and black scalloped paper from Jenni Bowlin.
I stuck this onto some beige cardstock then added the matted photo and a peice of dotty cardstock which I inked.
I then made the tags using some Prima freebies (you can find these on one of my posts).
I added these then used some of my dusty attic honeycomb chipboard for the corner.
I added blue and cream flowers and a few pearls and there you have it. Hope you like it.
