Brothers LO share ... and a Sale!

A quick post to share a LO .... YAY I did a LO!!!
AND to let you know about the

Sale

 over at My2Angels

There is 50% OFF all PATTERNED PAPERS AND 

50% OFF all RIBBONS (excluding organza) from 15th Feb to 20th Feb

and this is in addition to the February monthly sale of 30% OFF all BLING!

My LO uses the gorgeous Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 papers ...
This main paper is the reverse of  Garbo which is still available at My2Angels  but you'd better hurry on over there to grab it, and whilst you are there check out the rest of the SALE!

As well as a large sheet of the Garbo paper I also have a 6x6 pad of these papers .. or should I say had ..... there is not much of it left now and I can't wait for the new collections to hit our shores!! So one of the small squares is actually Garbo again but in a smaller print which is what I love about the mini pads!! Same patterns but different because of the size of the print!!

Oh .... and of course my Dymo sneaked in there again LOL!!

I didn't have the chipboard or stickers to match the papers so I made the embellies myself by cutting out the shapes from the papers themselves and layering them  ... 

... I also used some rub ons! 

The alphas are AC Thickers Emerald & one of my all time favs Black Daiquiri.

Oh and the little birdie is a My Little Bit of Whimsy ... 

Sorry the colours are not the best on these as I didn't have the best light to take the photos! So the close ups look a different colour to the full page!!!! my bad!!

Thanks for stopping by ... really appreciate that you guys keep coming back!!

Until next time  ...

No Clouds only Sunshine ...

The intense blue of the sky on these photos gave me the idea for the title for this LO and for any of my regular readers you must know how much I LOVE using clouds!!! 

I ordered this October Afternoon Seaside Seashells paper for the gorgeous banners, but when I received my order I fell in love with the reverse of the paper ... a red woodgrain effect which matched Sam's rashie and the red of the rocks behind him perfectly! And being a plank effect it still has the desired beachy feel.

I put a strip of the My2Angels Black Stars Felt Ribbon across the page and then positioned my photos above the felt. I've 3D taped the large photo and the middle one of the 3 for dimension.  The cloud is from Scrapware (and the smaller one is a left over of some B&B ones I had) I have inked the large cloud with VersaMagic Jumbo Java Brown ink and Mel I get through this ink like you do with Pinecone ... although not in the same way I might add!!!

I love these new Thickers that Tracy got in a little while ago, Emerald in flocked Hay and flocked Seafoam which I have used for my ‘Clouds’ and ‘Sunshine’ and of course I couldn't do a LO without using some Jenni Bowlin Tiny Circle Aphas in both Reverse Black and Vintage Brown!!!

When we were in Broome there were frangipani trees everywhere which were really pretty,so what better way to give my LO a bit of a tropical look, than by adding some My2Angels Yellow and White Frangipanis.

Finally I have added a Whimsy bird pin and stapled on some pieces of gutter mesh ... yes good old pvc gutter mesh!! I have a bit of a liking for it at the moment .... I have also used it on some cards I just made too!!! It's especially cool for boy cards!!!

Thanks for looking as always ... catch you soon!

Carnival Day!

Carrying on with the boys at play theme this month at my2angels, I captured my little one at his school carnival last week! I love this school event and of course I LOVE taking photos!!! These are from the team 'leader ball' event, note the red hair especially for the day!! The coloured hair sprays were really out in force as usual!!!

It was a gorgeous day, windy, but sunny and warm with blue skies! and seeing as I have a huge love of clouds, I took a picture of them and added it to my layout too!

Using more of the Fancy Pants Like Father Like Son papers mixed with a leftover piece of October Afternoon Fly a Kite Fireflies and some red and green cardstocks I came up with this. 

After cutting out the photos I wanted to use, I set about making a ‘jigsaw’ with my papers and laid them on the FP Stud Muffin paper. When I was happy with the look, I paper pierced some holes and used some rub on stitching. 

The title is Thickers Daiquiri and Jenni  Bowlin Tiny Circle Alphas in Black & Red.

I’ve then embellished with a very cute My2Angels House Charm, a Red Mulberry Flower and Plaid Brad. 

The gorgeous little bee and heart button are from the talented Steph at MLBOW and the linen pleat is Pink Paislee.

Thanks for looking ...... be back soon with more to share! for more inspiration, don't forget to check out the other DT girls work on the blog. 

I'm a little sad really that its the last weekend of football!! the off-season always seems SO long!! but at least we have summer to look forward to ... sorry to my US readers who have winter approaching!!! LOL!!!

Have a great weekend ....

Final post for May

Wow where did the year go ... tomorrow it will be June and the first day of winter YUK!!! and to make it really feel like winter ... I have a stinky head cold!!!! but I still managed to finish off a couple of projects for the lovely Tracy at My2Angels ... hope you like?!

Carrying on with my dimension theme at the moment I have again mounted my main photo on chipboard and cut out a second photo and used 3D tape. The photos are from DS’s footy wind up last year, I can’t believe how much he has changed in a year,  12 to teenager is one huge leap let me tell  you!! I have used some more gorgeous papers from the Bo Bunny Mama-razzi range, which I have distressed and mounted on some white cardstock.  I have used some PP Stickers for my title and then journalled all around the patterned paper using a Brown Slick Writer (I love Slick Writers) and added some Black Rhinestones for a touch of bling. This was one of those pages that looked like it might need a little something else ... but everything I tried just didn't do it - so I figured I must have been right in the beginning and went with 'less is more'!!!!!!  

 Just click on the products to take you straight to the item in the My2Angels shop.

PP: Mama-razzi Aperture & Words: Cardstock: Holly Doodle Alpha: Slick Writer: Black Rhinstones

For my 2nd LO I have used some gorgeous October Afternoon papers, Fly a Kite, Sprinklers and Thrift Shop, Last One. I am so not happy though with the way the photo has come out for this, as the cardstock, believe it or not, is a yellow colour not the creamy beige colour it looks here - but as hard as I tried it would not play nicely for the camera or even the photo editor!! So if you could please just imagine a lemony yellow colour contrasting with the blue and the black that would be great! LOL!!  The title is Thickers and the clouds are Scrapware painted with Ranger Liquid Pearls.  The flower is a lovely My2Angels Mini Gardenias centred with a Plaid Fabric Brad and finished off with some of their charms, a Love Key and some really cute Leaves.

The cute little birdie pin and black button are from

My Little Bit of Whimsy!

Again just click to take you to the M2A shop

Hope you have a great week ...will be back with more soon, once I have got rid of this nasty head cold!! TFL as always ... Wendy :)
