" Totally Loveable "

Hi everyone and today I'm sharing a layout that I can't believe but it only took me 4 hours to complete.

Yes, 4 hours from start to finish. Isn't funny how sometimes you can spends hours and even days on one layout and then when the "Mojo" is just right you can create one with no effort.

Anyway this is for the Major Case file 169 at 

CSI; Color, Stories and Inspiration

This is my gorgeous little granddaughter Emelia. We decided to take her and her sister Eliza to " Oakdale  Farm " for some special Nanny and Poppy time.

What a wonderful day we had with these 2 gorgeous little people. We watched as they walked and looked at all the farm animals, fed the chickens and the ducks. They even were able to hand feed the baby goats and sheep with a bottle. Oakdale Farm is hands on so all the animals are used to be handed by the children which makes for a wonderful day.

We had a picnic lunch on the ground and then they played on the playground swings and slides. Two little girls were so tired after a fantastic day that they had a lovely sleep all the way home. 

To create this layout I took inspiration from Emma Stafrace and her brilliant sketch. I tore a piece of the top and the bottom of the paper then I laid the flower paper over the top part.

Major Case File 169 with the sketch attached.

Case File requirements;

The Scheme.. Turquoise, white, creamsicle orange, dark coppery brown and beige. 

The Evidence; I used Solid background, light bulbs, flourishes, diamond shapes, stencil, pearls.

The Testimony;  used the Topic " Document Family Fun" which I wrote down the side of the layout and it reads;

What a wonderful day at Oakdale Farm 2014. We watched you play with all the animals, feed the sheep, pat the horse that bit you on the tummy. Then you played in the playground for ages. We had lunch and then went home all tired but very happy.

All the chippy pieces were painted in the turquoise. 

I die cut out some brick work and added it to the background. 

I cut strips to make the tails coming down the page. 

In the fish tails I added some washi tape and daisy lace

then some beautiful beads to the centres.

 Pearls from Flourish with Bling drip down the page. 

You can see the hessian leaves, I hand cut them out to the size I wanted.

Matted the photos int he same cardstock as I used on the background layer.

 Milly's name was added to the frame which is the left over from a

2Crafty round frames packet. (never one to waste anything)

So many beautiful flowers on this layout. I didn't have any of the turquoise colour 

so I painted some white ones to match. 

This is such a great way to match your embellies to your page..paint them.

You can see I added a row of daily lace to the top and the bottom of the page. 

It fits into the daisy lace in the fish tails. I added some diamond texture paste to the 

background as per the case file requirements.

" Magic will Happen Here "

 Hi everyone and welcome, today I want to share a layout for case file 165 at CSI (Color,Stories and Inspiration) as part of the Design Team.
.

These are a couple of black and white photos I took at the start of  my new scrap room. 

I have been using a room our home but like everyone one else it doesn't take long to outgrow your space. We are utilising a unused old shed to turn it into my new scrap space which my youngest son, Wade renamed 

" The Confetti Box"

Stay tuned as I will be creating a whole post in the near future just to showcase to  you all the the transformation of 

"The Confetti Box"

I love the colours in this case file and to me it just screamed a black and white photo.
 I was able to use all the things I love to showcase my new room, flowers, inks, paints, chippy pieces.

Case File elements:
The Scheme- Light lemony yellow, ballerina pink, pale warm gray, white and black.
The Evidence I used; Stripes, polka dots, woodgrain, tags, polaroid frames,pen work, labels, vinyl, ribbon and light bulb
The Testimony; I penned some of my testimony on the right side of the layout and then added the rest on the tags at the rear of the photos.This says;

2015 This is the start of my new scrap room which Wade renamed " The Confetti Box" I am using my new space which has everything in it I could possibly want. I am so grateful to my hubby Pat and my son Wade for building me such a wonderful space.

Black chippy pieces, white the bright colours of the flowers really pops.
Love the polaroid frames around the photos.

Layers of bright polka dots on the layers behind the photos

Ripped and distressed the edges then inked them.
I added some journalling up the side of the page.

Inked the background and then added the grungy stamps.
This reflects the way I scrap, messy

I love this die for the frons and don't use it enough

How perfect its this sticker for this page.
