Scrap Africa Sketch Challenge No 32

Hi everyone! It's been a long long time since I've last been in blogland.  We've had a fantastic 4 week break, but now it's back to normality... not that it's a bad thing. :)  I hope you've all been keeping well.
Today I want to share the latest sketch challenge over at Scrap Africa with you.

 My take on the sketch using the Heidi Swapp 'Dreamy' collection.

I've used a variety of Manor House flowers, Petaloo blooms and Green Tara flower stems.  The butterflies are from Collections Elements.

I've used The Crafters Workshop 'Chicken Wire Reversed' template on my background with some texture paste. Then rubbed some ink over it using my fingers.  All the transparency elements are from the ephemera pack from the collection and all products used are available from The Scrapbook Store.

I hope you get a chance to play along with us.  We would love to see your entries. For more detail and to check out the rest of the DT's fabulous examples, have a look HERE.

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I hope to be back soon with more layouts to share.

Have a great week!

August Sketch at The Scrapbook Store

Hi everyone! I am determined to break the 'post drought' on my blog. Lol! I'm hoping to do more than one post a week from now one. Wish me luck! :)
The August sketch at The Scrapbook Store was designed by Melinda Spinks and it's just beautiful!

My take on it. I've turned the sketch on it's side to suit my photo. The photo is of my friend and her baby girl taken in the Spring flowers at Kings Park in 2009.  I've used the Kaisercraft 'Enchanted Garden' collection and I've used the Heidi Swapp 'Sunshine' stencil as a guide to create the 'rays'. 

 A few close up to show some of the detail.  The little fairies and butterflies are just so cute. :)

 These flowers from Petaloo worked perfectly with this collection.

 I cut the title using my Silhouette Cameo.

I hope you get a chance to play along.  There is a $40 store voucher up for grabs, including free postage! The winner gets determined by random draw, so anyone can win!  You have until the end of August to get your entries in. Good luck! :)

Thank you for visiting and to everyone who leaves me lovely comments. I appreciate it.

Until next time!
