My Favorite Things Weekly Card Sketch 163

Sorry but doing this post quickly as I hope to make the cut off......

I haven't been making cards all that long, so I don't have a big stamp collection. It is slowly growing, so keep coming back........





I found this lovely Prima paper at Scrapbook Fantasies, so I used it for both this card and the card I made of the colour challenge........ It works so well.

Scrapbook Fantasies - Weekly Scrapbook Challenge #6/2014

 
This week the challenge at Scrapbook Fantasies, is to use 6 photos in a one page layout....... I don't think I have ever put 6 photos in a page. I chose a project life style layout as it meant I could do 8 little layouts to make up my page. I love how Noah is playing in these photos.
 
 
 
 
Close up of page


 I enjoyed doing this style of layout. I may have to do some more in the future.

Kaisercraft Weekly Sketch...... Week 2 for February

Here is my take on Kaiser's 2nd February sketch. I used Save the Date again for this layout. I think it works well with this photo of my Nephew.




From the day you were born, you have made me so happy....

Mad About Scrappin....February

I love the sketch that Mad About Scrappin have used this month. I did try and use some gesso on the background, but the photos of my Nana have covered most of it up. Anyway here it is.......


 


I have used the Kaiser range - Save the Date. I have used this range so much, I love the tone of colours that it came in.

 I picked out all the blue bits to make this layout. I think it shows off the black and white photos well.
