Bo Bunny 'The Avenues' for The Scrapbook Store

Hi everyone! Happy weekend to you all.  Hope you have something lovely planned.  I just have a quick layout to share.  I have received the totally gorgeous Bo Bunny 'The Avenues' collection in my DT kit from The Scrapbook Store this month.  I just love how easy this layout came together.  The photo is of my SIL and I, taken when she was visiting us in March this year.

A close up of my flower cluster.  I 'built' my cluster around the bird image that was already printed on the paper.  I've mainly used Petaloo flowers, as well as a Green Tara flower and flower vine.

I fussy cut some of the clocks out of one of the patterned papers, layered them, then added some Tim Holtz metal gears.  The birdcage is a vintage charm from TSS.

My newly purchased Tim Holtz 'Rays' stencil work beautifully with a bit of Lindy Stamp Gang 'California Poppy Gold mist.  I simply LOVE my new Scrap FX 'Random Dots' stencil.  Used with some texture paste it gives such great dimension.

 Another close up for good measure. :)

That's all for today, but I'll be back in a few days to share more Bo Bunny layouts. :)

Thank you so much for popping in.  Have a wonderful weekend.

Until next time!

October Sketch Challenge at The Scrapbook Store

Hi everyone! Just a quick post to share the October Sketch Challenge at The Scrapbook Store.  I've decided to explore my 'inner messy side' again. Lol!  The people who know me well enough will know that I don't cope very well with 'mess', but I am getting better at it..... I think. :) Some parts of the process didn't go too well, but it created opportunities for unique embellishment placement. ;)

I used 2 different mists for my background.  One of them is 'California Poppy Gold' from Lindys Stamp Gang (which I just LOVE) and the other is the more vibrant 'Postbox Red' from Dylusions Ink. 

For the branches, I used a combination of template work as well as using my Silhouette machine.  The flowers are a mixture of Prima, Petaloo and Green Tara.  I love my gorgeous new Scrap FX 'Random Dots' stencil.  Can see myself using it over and over again. :)

And here is the gorgeous sketch, designed by Melinda Spinks. :)

I hope you find a moment to play along.  There's a $40 store voucher up for grabs and the winner gets determined by random draw, so anyone can win!  Just load your take on the sketch into the Gallery before the end of October.  Would love to see your entry!

That's all for today.  Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful week!

Until next time.
