Mothers and daughters

I finally finished this layout thats been sitting half done on my desk for about a week now. (Lol! I seem to be doing that quite often!)  This one is for the Scrap the Girls' challenge this month.  The challenge is to scrap a layout based on an important female in your life. Extra criteria: more than 20 words of handwritten journalling.  Now I had no problem finding a photo of an important female in my life, in fact I have two in my photo. Doing handwritten journalling was far more of a challenge to me as I don't really like my handwriting and hardly ever use it on my layouts.  I decided to hide my journalling under my photo mat, but I had to take a pic of it to show its there. ;)

Here's a close up of the hidden journalling.

Another close up of part of my title and a little flower cluster.



And because you can never have too many close ups, here's another one of the bigger flower cluster. ;)

You can tell I still love my MS frond punch. ;)  I've used a Crafter's Workshop template to create the grass and flowers on the left. It's a bit messy, but hey, I'm still learning and still far from perfect when it comes to masking/misting.  I thought of redoing it several times but then once I stuck all the alphas down I didn't dislike it enough to want to redo it all. Lol!

I've used Kaisercraft 'Chapter One' pattern paper and stickers but wanted to add another colour, so I used two different colours of Glimmer Mist and then added some flowers in the same colour pink.  The alphas were cut on my Cricut machine.  All the products used on this layout are available from Handmade by Suzanne. 

I'm almost up to date with visiting my favourite blogs, but I still find it a problem to leave comments sometimes. I hope blogger fixes it soon.

Thanks for visiting a have a great day!
